There was also the requisite dismissal from Bill Gates.
比爾·蓋茨也少不了冷嘲熱諷一番。
"I still think that some mixture of voice, the pen and a real keyboard—in other words a netbook—will be the mainstream," he told Brent Schlender.
“我仍然認(rèn)為，手寫筆和真正的鍵盤，也就是上網(wǎng)本，會(huì)是主流，”他對(duì)布倫特·施倫德說。
"So, it's not like I sit there and feel the same way I did with the iPhone where I say, 'Oh my God, Microsoft didn't aim high enough.'
“我沒有當(dāng)初iPhone發(fā)布時(shí)的那種感覺。iPhone發(fā)布的時(shí)候，我心里想：‘哦天哪，微軟的目標(biāo)不夠高。’
It's a nice reader, but there's nothing on the iPad I look at and say, 'Oh, I wish Microsoft had done it.'"
iPad是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的閱讀器，但是它沒有任何地方會(huì)讓我覺得，‘噢，我多希望這是微軟做出來的。’”
He continued to insist that the Microsoft approach of using a stylus for input would prevail.
他堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為，微軟的手寫筆輸入方案會(huì)成為行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
"I've been predicting a tablet with a stylus for many years," he told me. "I will eventually turn out to be right or be dead."
蓋茨對(duì)我說：“多年來，我都一直預(yù)言今后會(huì)出現(xiàn)配備手寫筆的平板電腦。要么我是對(duì)的，要么我就死定了。”
The night after his announcement, Jobs was annoyed and depressed.
在發(fā)布會(huì)第二晚，喬布斯非常惱火和沮喪。
As we gathered in his kitchen for dinner, he paced around the table calling up emails and web pages on his iPhone.
我們聚集在他家廚房吃晚飯，他在餐桌旁來回踱步，用自己的iPhone收發(fā)電子郵件，瀏覽網(wǎng)頁。
I got about eight hundred email messages in the last twenty-four hours. Most of them are complaining.
在過去24小時(shí)內(nèi)，我收到了約800封電子郵件。大多數(shù)都是在抱怨。
There's no USB cord! There's no this, no that. Some of them are like, "Fuck you, how can you do that?"
沒有USB線！沒有這個(gè)，沒有那個(gè)。有些人會(huì)說，“靠，你怎么能這樣做呢？”
I don't usually write people back, but I replied, "Your parents would be so proud of how you turned out."
我一般不回復(fù)別人的郵件，但是這封我回了，“你父母會(huì)為你這么有出息而感到驕傲的。”
And some don't like the iPad name, and on and on. I kind of got depressed today. It knocks you back a bit.
有些人不喜歡iPad這個(gè)名字，等等等等。我今天有些郁悶，有點(diǎn)受到打擊了。
He did get one congratulatory call that day that he appreciated, from President Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel.
不過他那天也收到了一封值得髙興的賀電，來自奧巴馬總統(tǒng)的辦公廳主任拉姆·伊曼紐爾。
But he noted at dinner that the president had not called him since taking office.
但他在晚餐時(shí)指出，奧巴馬總統(tǒng)上任以來還沒跟他通過電話。
