Steve Jobs made a rare public appearance at the Oscars at the same time as the first iPad ad was popping up on US TV. The Apple boss was spotted by an eagle-eyed blogger and appeared on Twitpic in a snapshot.
Despite being arguably the most famous face in technology, Steve Jobs wasn’t spotted by the massed ranks of the international press on the Oscars red carpet.
The credit for spotting Steve Jobs goes to blogger Wayne Sutton who had red carpet guest blogger access thanks to a scheme run by Kodak (the Oscars are held at the Kodak Theater). He spotted Jobs amongst the crowds.
Steve Jobs was at the Oscars to witness the success of Pixar’s UP which nabbed the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. He bought Pixar in 1986 and sold it to Disney in 2006. He’s now the biggest shareholder in Disney.
As well as being spotted Where’s Wally style in the scrum on the red carpet, Steve Jobs posed for a TwitPic with Jon M Chu, a choreographer who was also attending the ceremony.
