Steve Jobs didn't say that. On the 25th anniversary of the original Macintosh I chanced upon this provocative quote in an article by Steven Levy, senior writer of Wired. It was contrarian, controversial and cultural. Very much like the Mac.Apple introduced the Mac with the famous "1984" television commercial made by Ridley Scott that ran on the Super Bowl. This spot, that was aired only once, invoked author George Orwell's message and stood as a warning against conformity.
