Jobs is great, but can he please buy a different outfit. It's almost as bad as Gates' bad haircuts! I don't think it does anything positive for his image. These guys make enough money; they can afford it!

It reminds me of a professor I had in college who always wore the same 2 outfits to class every week.

Oh I don't know about that fleurya. I think the outfit Jobs wears is very intentional. It says "laid back" and "low key" and "cool" without saying a word. It presents the image of Apple that he wants put out. Why do you think that in the "Hi I'm a Mac..." ads, the Mac always wears similar stuff, while the PC always wears a suit, or office casual at best? The whole thing is yet another, and very intentional, subliminal message.

True, but you can make the same statement with more than one outfit! Maybe Gates is trying to portray an image of "I'm working so hard on programming that I don't have time to fix my hair".

Engadget did a mock interview with Steve Jobs that included an amateur photo taken of him at some personal activity and he was wearing the same outfit!! I just hope he washes those clothes once in a while.
