@lpranal: (steve's, not woz's)

lpranal

Damn, I had that exact haircut (or, rather, lack thereof) 2 years ago. Awesome.

lpranal

What's really baffling to me is that Woz is wearing his ID-badge... as if nobody would know who he was, or would question his credentials.

... I can see it now, as the Apple security guard enters the lab ...

Hey, you, bearded guy with that swanky belt buckle and disco-tastic smile! Yes, I'm talking to you, dance party! How did you get in here? C'mere one sec. Hmmmm. Wozniak. What's that, Polish or something? How long you been here? Alright. The ID looks right, but I've never seen you here before. Oh, so you work a lot of nights, do you? Okay. I'll have to run this past Mr. Jobs. I'll be back in ten minutes. Don't touch anything until I get back. Mike, can you watch this guy for ten minutes, make sure he doesn't touch anything? Great. Okay, Mr. Woznark. I'll get you checked out. No more dancing in the shop, okay? Okay. No, it's not "the Hustle", sir. No it's not. What you're doing is called "the high likelihood of an accident", Mr. Woznart. See that soldering station over there, over next to the oscilloscope? Yes, right there where you were flailing around. That's delicate electronic equipment, sir, and that soldering iron is really hot. Yes, well, I'll let Mr. Jobs verify that they're both yours, okay? Okay. Cripes. Okay. I'll be right back. OSHA would put us out of business if they saw you having fits like that in the lab. Sheesh. Don't let him go anywhere, Mike, and don't let him touch anything until I get back. Give him a handful of those nixie tubes to play with or something... anything to keep him from having those spastic fits. No it wasn't, beard-o, you wouldn't know the Hustle if it bit you in the butt. I'll be right back.

@redrabbit: Wannabe fags? Seriously?
Whats sickening is people like you saying such moronic things.

ALT

@bpapa9013: no idea, i can't figure it out

jakebathman

its so true. only Douchebags pop their collars. its almost hard to believe how universally true this is.

makeseven

damnit... how do you post pics rather than links?

bpapa9013

I always thought it was a sweatshirt with a hood.

secretmanofagent

The Woz got fatter...the Jobs got skinnier.....

That's where they got the idea for the ...I'm a Mac and I'm a PC commercials

jcrockerman

Um yeah, popped collars are for douches and/or wannabe fags. It's sickening...

redrabbit

@nutbastard: Please, please please tell me that you own this and that it is not just to be found in one of my friendly neighborhood photo-shops... Doesn't look too likely, but I wonder if I could find some way to make one.

ALT

About this...

Steve Jobs not only developed the first iPhone circuit board prototype more than 20 years ago (though Woz did all the work)

Doesn't that mean that Woz developed it and Jobs took all the credit?

@chrstphr: not those sunglasses that help me see behind me! [www.pimall.com]

jakebathman

Gee thanks Steve. Popped collars must be one of the douchiest trends. That and mirrored sunglasses.

chrstphr

@Adam Frucci: HAHAHAH oh man that was the funniest exchange I have ever seen. Thank you!

@bobx3: No real Mac users have popped collars guys, get with the program.

ALT

man, he was cute when he was young. God what happened...
it's the computers!! it sucks the life out of you!!!

crap i work in IT....

what a stupid news..

actually popped collars started with sailors long ago because it helps keep the sun off the back of your neck.

Worse than that - seen in dept stores on mannequins - TWO shirts on with popped collars...

Seems to be the topic of the day, magnificent bastard declared steve a total toolbag this morning.

ShaneO83

Fridays at Giz...I never knew there were so many forms of the word DBag, its both entertaining and educational. Half the comments are euphoric people headed for the asylum (or bar) and the other half want to kill someone on their way to anger management class.
I love you guys. ;)

Curves

@Adam Frucci: oh man that was crazy. you totally like kapowed him. i guess i'm a dbag cause i like to pop my collar sometimes. plus being an amateur belt buckle collector i absolutely love and desire woz's belt buckle.

MormonJay

I'm proud to preset S.J. with this prestigious award...

WD40

@jmote: People who pop their collar buying electronics from people who pop their collar. It's a never ending cycle of Dbaggery.

bobx3

According to reddit, James Buchanan beat him to it: [www.americanpresidentpictures.com]

I also love Woz's belt buckle and would purchase it in a heartbeat.

aseriesoftubes

Popped Collar? Who cares looks like Woz was behind my favorite fashion statement ever. Big belt buckles.

xxenclavexx

It looks like jobs wants to take me in a darkened room and show me his circuit boards

ichi1

We should have seen the writing on the wall with the release of this pic. It was only a matter of time before fledgling dbag Jobs matured into a full grown dbag.

Duckspwn

steve jobs is actually an android developed by woz.

woz put the power button on the back of steve jobs neck.

jobs quickly discovered this button, and covered it with his shirt to hide it from Woz.

woz quickly forgot about the power button, and steve jobs has been running autonomously ever since. the button remains hidden to this day.

tucker

Jobs also started the rich asshole in a leopard Speedo and flip-flops trend.

Linus Torvalds just took it to the new level.

[m0sia.ru]

CYST!

Screw the popped collar. It's all about Woz's belt. Little known fact about that buckle: He was so good at minimizing systems, that when combined with other items of "clothing" on his body, it creates a functioning APPLE II.

Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy

@Connman: @Adam Frucci: o_OO - SNAP!

All hail Stevus Jobsei Grand Pooh-bah of the fruity Dbags!

Oh, wait, my bad no one has managed to dethrone this guy yet...

[members.arstechnica.com]

And no, you don't have to login to ars to see the pic...

bpapa9013

Nice pic. I wonder if Apple would consider Woz for Apple's CEO position if Steve ever leaves?

You guys better watch what you say. Giz is banning happy again.

yoshi

Damn hippies.

Kaiser-Machead's Chips Ahoy!

Man, am I behind the times. I thought the popped collar thing stopped being cool like two years ago and you're telling me that it's actually already cycled around and is back? Madness.

Well then at least those Hypercolor shirts I always wear can't be far behind.

mhlaxp

Are we sure he just wasn't in a hurry when getting dressed? This happens to me all the time.

MagnoliaBoy

@Connman: You look banned in this thread.

Adam Frucci

jobs looks gay in that pic

Connman

That isn't Steve Jobs. That is some debonair eccentric billiona..... oh, hey.

Yeah. Good job with the popped collar douche.

Elvis did it better.

CYST!

@bobx3: Yeah. Why do you think apple is the way it is today? Dbags.

jmote

All he needs now is the shirt mullet to seat him in the King Dbag throne....ah, who am I kidding, he's already there.

tggin

Woz > Jobs.

I really, really hate popped collars.

It's just an immediate Dbag alarm on people.

bobx3

lolooloololololooloolol

bdk185

wow, jobs looks so healthy in that photo. he must have a terrible disease and is probably about to die now because he lost weight since then.

the1sen

@Platypus Man:

when someone's comments are more than once "______ is gay." it's adding nothing. ban was totally justified.

nutbastard

@ALT:

they're available on ebay, look for "vintage holographic apple beltbuckle"

and yes i do have one, i just haven't gotten the belt part installed yet. i wanna do that before segway fest next week!

nutbastard

@Platypus Man: That's not why he was banned, I'd wager.
I'd also wager that redrabbit is next.

92BuickLeSabre

@redrabbit: @ALT: @macmanwa: I believe a more PC equivalent would be "metro-sexual"...

bpapa9013

I saw a guy on campus once wearing two shirts with the collars popped, a hat that was slightly askew and not actually on his head (just sort of perched there), his shirt was tucked in only on one side of his huge belt-buckle (I don't recall what it was, but it was certainly douchebaggery of the highest order) and to top it all off, he was wearing capri pants and crocs.

I laughed so hard it took every ounce of strength I had just to keep the urine safely inside my bladder =\

HenryRayker

@redrabbit: "wannabe fags"... nice comment. You just unknowingly became a huge DBag yourself.

macmanwa

@jakebathman:

Ahaha, those are neat. I love how it says they "look like an ordinary pair of high fashion sun glasses." Yes, right, high fashion...

chrstphr

@Adam Frucci: That was kind of a, you know, jackassy move, don't you think? Banning a guy for expressing his opinions? Apparently, insulting Steve Jobs is ban-worthy now... I mean, it's not like he reported on a story being non-gadget related or saying that it's a slow news day (neither of which I'm doing, seeing as how I was banned once already).

@MormonJay: That implies that they have professional belt buckle collectors, and that's scary.

Oh, and myself, I think that Jobs looks kinda like Luke Wilson in that pic. Maybe he could play him if someone ever came up with the terrible idea to do that movie?

Platypus Man

He's like a young tom cruise.

hu_hu_cool

@ALT: You can always tell Nutbastard's segway from the rest. His is the one with the unicorn horn on the front that shoots rainbows from the tip and leaves a trail of skittles behind him.

That bit with NPH riding a unicorn in H&K2 was stolen from his real life.

Xavoc

@nutbastard: There is a segway fest? What is this magical world in which you live? And thanks for the ebay tip on the buckle. My girlfriend will have an entirely new article of clothing to hate!

ALT

That's just an early prototype of the iCollar with self-popping action.

Xavoc

in 20 years we will all be wearing turtlenecks.

citizen024

@Platypus Man: I believe there's a statement when you sign up for Giz that they're looking for quality commentary...

"(insert name) is gay."
"That is so gay."
"What a fag!"

Seeing such things in a person's running commentary (try clicking their name to see if they have a habit of this before defending someone here, usually they've done it repeatedly) is usually a good indicator of it not being good commentary, constructive, useful, and really it's just outright disrespectful to gays period.

It may be a free country, but this is a forum run by a private organization and they can ban, or unban, people for whatever reasons they like. Being quick to keep riffraff out isn't a bad thing, and bans are not usually permanent. One can apologize for one's behavior, and usually after a period of time you'll be unbanned. Consider it "Posting time-out".

Xavoc

Steve jobs invented abercrombie and fitch. The he opened apple stores!

Peteapple

Steve Jobs starts all trends.

T-man

I thought popped collars were invented by preppies about ten years before this picture was taken. Kept the sun off your neck while chatting to your sweetie with your Connecticut Lockjaw after a good game of tennis.

Besides. This was taken in Mountain View, Palo Alto or Sunnyvale in the early 80s, which had NO trendiness at that time. Even at ten growing up there, I knew we suxed.

zingbot

@the1sen: ok that will get BLam after you......

Cordfucious v 2.0

@zingbot: Yeah, when I was in school in the late 70s/early 80s it was the preppies in their Izod polo shirts--heeey, wait a minute! "iZod"?!? I sense some kind of conspiracy...

CSX321

Giz stealing stuff from Reddit now???

rochec

@ALT:

segway fest is happening next week in indianapolis - where i'll be playing in the segway polo world cup (known as the woz cup)

nutbastard

@jdunns4: Then the preppies reawakened the popped collar and docksiders in the early 80's..Yes, preppies were also major douchebags...

anti-hello-kitty

@Xavoc: Well, though he probably meant it in the typical way, he could've meant that it made Jobs look like a homosexual. You don't know.

And I didn't know bans were temporary... Well, I'm impacient, so I guess I'll just switch back to my original account if this one gets banned as well...

Platypus Man

Now I don't know whether to love him or hate him :( My "I love Steve Jobs" side and "I hate douchebags" side are fighting

videoCWK

They need to sell those belt buckles.

zed0

@Brookespeed: That would be awesome! Personally, I was thinking of Luke Wilson for Jobs, but Baio works well too.

Platypus Man

Is it just me or does anyone else think of Gilbert Gottfried and Scott Baio when they see this picture.

Brookespeed

Woz...lol...that is all.

Joseph_Shaw_520

The first thing I saw was the chip, not the belt close to Woz's crotch... =D

AlphaTeam

Sorry, he was NOT the guy who started it. It was very popular all over during the early 80's Even in high school.

Noobs-R-Us

@Noobs-R-Us:

Tell me about it. As I recall it was all the rage circa 86/87.

Camperton

@UrIt:

That's exactly what my girlfriend said when she walked in and saw that picture. I said "you mean Woz"?

Camperton

@AlphaTeam:

Me too, but now that I've seen Woz's crotch my eyes go straight to it every time. : /

Camperton

I call bullshit on this one. My great great grandpa was doing this back in the 1880's.

willyboy

@Platypus Man: Anyone who uses any homophobic or racist slurs will be banned immediately if I see it. Zero tolerance policy. If you don't like it, go elsewhere. I don't ban very often, but if I see something like that I'll ban them every single time.

Adam Frucci

@redrabbit: You are also banned. Thanks for playing, jackass.

Adam Frucci

People still do that? I haven't seen a popped collar for a couple years now. Of course, i no longer work at the mall so that might have something to do with it. Those Hollister/Abercrombie kids used to scare the crap outta me.

ZeeBeeEss

yeah and he also "invented" the internet! ...ohh no wait - that was Al Gore! LOL.

Besides I understand that he is an extraterrestrial, or at least a devine entity (as all other employees of Apple are ofcourse)... I mean with those ideas he has -- there's no way he can be a mere human.

techDot

Just so Giz doesnt brainwash you...Popped collars were introduced by GOLFERS not Steve Jobs..it kept the sun off of their neck while golfing.

mricyfire

Jobs in these old photos always reminds me of Steve Perry, the singer from Journey...

"... faithfully..."

FritzLaurel

@secretmanofagent: You've been right all this time.

skinned

@Adam Frucci: that's why you're the man.

CYST!

There are only 3 reasons you should pop your collar:

1. You play golf

2. You play tennis

3. You went to preparatory school

Eric1285

Man, i like apple and own a few of them, but steve does sounds more and more like a rat to me. He shouldn't have kicked the genius like Woz.

A little info on that belt buckle that the Woz is rockin'

[forums.macrumors.com]

Jrsy

looks just like all those other assholes that pop their coller

DarwinCB

This is pure late 70s/early 80s prep coture (which might still have cycled around sometime recently). That said, they stole it from the 50s. Still, no matter the time period, it still reeks of DBaggery all the way.

AdmNaismith

Am I the only one old enough to remember that turning your collar up was also a huge trend in the 80's? Has no one here seen a John Hughes movie? Steve was probably participating in a trend that was several years old at the time.

kingtaco

That not just any popped collar. Thats the iPop. To mess with the iPop you have to be a fellow iDouche. Only few can pull the iPop off.

Way to go Steve

pecman3

trendsetter... yeah right.
