What Makes a Genius?
“Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered–either by themselves or by others.”
-Mark Twain
The Genius Bar
I sometimes question Apple’s use of the word “Genius” when describing the “help counter” found at all Apple Stores. As conceited as that sounds, sometimes true gunius exists there. Recently Hawaii enacted a new law outlawing the use of handheld devices while driving. At about the same time as the law went into effect both of my iPhone ear buds became defective, so I took them to the genius bar.
Genius Indeed
The resident “genius” blew some canned air into the earbud socket on my iPhone and a fairly large amount of pocket lint came out. He handed me back the iPhone and the earbuds worked perfecly. Genius!
