    “No sending things off to some marketing exec somewhere for approval, no vetting by some committee. In the old regime, you never knew who was making the decision. With Steve it was totally different. It was him & me. You don’t get that—no CEO gets involved the way he does.” 🔥

    The Golden Gate Stem Fair is the Bay Area's regional high school science fair. It touches the lives of thousands of local kids and is at risk this year (again) of not happening due to lack of funds. Can we raise $15k to save it? (retweets appreciated!)
