Picture of the Day: Jobs’ Wisdom on Shluchim Photo

not sure I get it
Can someone explains this?
Is he saying that shluchim follow their convictions and don’t let the outside noise get to them, or, that they follow what they are taught and not their inner voice?
idiots
what are you boasting about? the picture brings out a negative connotation, for those of you who arent that thick , the crowd in the picture represents the ‘noise of others’ opinions’. but then again, kak oif mir, pish oif mir, abi oif mir…

#1, I’m sure they are saying the former, as to a typical Bloomberg reader, the people in the picture are not following “others’ opinions.”

No, its showing, negatively, how to outsiders we appear to be all conformists.
To outsiders, we are all “narrow minded, dress the same, look the same, follow a leader blindly, etc.”

#2 and #4, I think you are projecting.
To #2 and #4
5 is absolutely correct; you are projecting. In typical contemporary marketing it leaves the reader to decide what the caption means.
Here’s how I read it: The folks in the picture certainly have an “inner voice” that is fairly unique to today’s society. They do not let the opinion of others have much of an impact on them. Even so, the guy in the middle seems to be using a (Apple inspired) PDA.
Like art, the explanation here is left to the viewer.

Look what all pictures, that do not specifically show Steve Jobs, have in common (they are all here):
http://images.businessweek….
1. Some aspect of life is shown.
2. Someone is using Apple product (in connection with this aspect of life).
In this picture, a shaliach in the middle listens to iPod. I think the message is neutral to Hassidim. Everyone around this man talking (noise) and he is concentrated on his (inner) things. Why did they choose chasidim for this message? May be they wanted to show different communities for different messages to show how global Steve Jobs messages are. In any case, #2 and #4, if you still think the message is against us, consider that they showed one of shaliachs as a demonstration for listening to inner voice. That’s why I think it is neutral – same thing would apply to other communities – some are “noisy” and some with “inner voice”
There-s an old saying
You can say what you want about me as long as you spell my name
correctly.

To me it means: you, who are listening to your own inner voice, to your own Jewish traditions, are blocking out the ‘noise’ of the secular opinions.
I think it’s a complement.
Were just a different specie, to them

Thanks #7
I didn’t see it before cause the caption was blocking it
It’s clear that the noise is the shluchim around and the listeningis the shliach in the middle with the ipod. They used the shluchim image for added effect
