		rbanffy on Nov 7, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: I loved C. But it always fell short for me. Object... NeXT bought Apple for minus US$400 million and renamed itself Apple ;-) Apple's CEO came from NeXT, as did their lead software architect. OSX is NeXT (ever wonder why so many things extend NSObject?).

FYI, NeXTs' CEO was Apple's CEO first. The parents point is correct.

Actually...no. Jobs was never CEO until after the NeXT merger.
