Excerpts From Laurene Powell Jobs' First Interview Since The Death Of Steve Jobs

In the first interview since her husband’s death, Laurene Powell Jobs dedicated her sizable platform to advancing immigration reform, while remaining notably tight-lipped about the private life of the late Steve Jobs. We’ve included highlights (with context) from her interview with Rock Center host, Brian Williams. On Steve Jobs: “Pretty Cool” Legacy BRIAN WILLIAMS: It’s another way of saying we’re left with a world of really cool stuff. I always wanted to know what it was like to be a Kennedy and drive to Kennedy Airport; and what it’s like to be you at a light and watch ten people cross, and the only thing they have in common are white ear buds. What’s that like? LAURENE POWELL JOBS: It’s pretty cool. BRIAN WILLIAMS: (LAUGHS) It’s pretty cool. I mean, that changed our world. LAURENE POWELL JOBS: Yeah. To do what you wanna do, to leave a mark– in a way that you think is important and lasting, that’s a life well lived. On Immigration Reform Powell Jobs has been a vocal advocate of immigration reform, partnering with director Davis Guggenheim (Waiting For Superman, An Inconvenient Truth) on a documentary highlighting the struggles of talented, patriotic American youth who have been denied entrance into the military and college, because they are undocumented immigrants. To add public pressure for Congress to pass a bill that provides a pathway to citizenship for children of immigrants who came to America illegally, the film (trailer below) is accompanied by a grassroots campaign and website. BRIAN WILLIAMS: Climb into the minds of our viewers watching you guys on Friday night. So help us process this. How are we supposed to feel about their parents, who did do something bad? This is ill-gotten gains, because the first entry into this country was wrong. How are we supposed to feel about the bureaucracy we would now have to have just to hand Social Security numbers to our Marine, our civil engineer? LAURENE JOBS POWELL: Yes. It’s understandable that people are conflicted about this. And, yes, the parents broke the law. And so I think that’s why Congress is trying to find a way to make amends. So have them pay a penalty, have them pay back taxes. Have them wait for two decades in order to have the chance to have citizenship. I mean, there are penalties that can be brought out. But then you have someone

PFT: Gronkowski's deal now a shrewd move

AP

Veteran quarterback Matthew Hasselbeck had an eventful couple of days last month.? Cut by the Titans, he quickly landed in the same division, with the Colts.

Now the clear-cut backup to Andrew Luck after being in 2012 the clear-cut backup to Jake Locker, Hasselbeck?s work will be deemed a success if he can constantly nudge Luck to be the best quarterback he can be.

?I feel like I learned a lot in my role with Jake Locker this past year and it really was fulfilling to work with a young guy that?s talented and eager to work and eager to learn,? Hasselbeck told Monday?s edition of Pro Football Talk.? ?I think the thing that I could probably do a better job is just really bringing a competitive spirit to the room.? Obviously, Andrew Luck?s gonna be the starting quarterback there but I can still come in and bring an element of like just being the best that I can be, each and every day.

?I do remember as a young quarterback with the Green Bay Packers, the atmosphere was just very, very competitive.? I mean and everyone knew if Brett Favre had two broken legs, he was still going to be the starting quarterback but the atmosphere was that, ?Hey we?re going to come in and we?re going to compete with each other, each and every day and really just try to push each other in any way that we can sort of like one-up a guy.?? We are just gonna go for it and I think it just, I don?t know if it made Brett any better but I know it made me better and so I think that?s probably the lesson that I learned or one of the lessons that I learned and so I?m looking forward to being around a great talent like Andrew Luck.? I think it?ll probably improve my game just having that mentality and in the end ironically it?ll help the Indianapolis Colts be a better team because of it.?

But it likely won?t result in Hasselbeck ending up as a starter elsewhere.

?I would be shocked if this is not the last stop,? Hasselbeck said.? ?I signed a two-year deal.? My goal right now is just to play those two years and make them two great years but this whole ride has been a dream come true for me.? I was a sixth-round draft pick, wasn?t invited to the Combine, really when I got uh drafted by the Green Bay Packers if I had left training camp with a free pair of Green Bay Packer shorts I would have chalked it up as a victory so this really is a dream come true for me to get to do this for a living.? And it?s not easy.? It takes everything you?ve got each and every year.? You?ve got to bring it 100 percent to have a successful season but I?m committed to two years right now and I?d be shocked if there?s anything beyond that.?

Despite the commitment level required to thrive in the NFL, Hasselbeck has other interests.? His appearance on Monday?s show came in connection with his work with the End It Movement, which has made April 9 an international effort to bring awareness to and ultimately to abolish the ongoing global slavery problem.

There are now more slaves in the world that at any point in history.? You?ll learn that troubling fact and others if you visit the End It Movment?s website.

Beastie Boy Mike D Serves Up Meals From Food Truck To Hurricane Sandy Victims (PHOTO, VIDEO)

The Beastie Boys' Mike D is fighting for more than the right to party -- he's been helping serve Hurricane Sandy victims warm meals from a food truck.

The musician, whose full name is Michael Diamond, spoke to GOOD Magazine on Tuesday about the project. Since the storm, more than 19,000 free meals have been served.

Seeing the damage to Rockaway Beach, he launched the Rockaway Plate Lunch truck with restauranteur and friend Robert McKinley.

The cooking expertise come from Sam Talbot of 'Top Chef' fame, who is working with teams at New York's Spotted Pig and Fat Radish restaurants, to serve up rice, beans, chicken and vegetables.

In the Vimeo video above, Mike D explains that a food truck allowed easy navigation through the changing post-Sandy landscape. The team feeds anywhere from 200 to 500 people daily.

"The willingness to get involved has been amazing," McKinley says in the video. "There's been no egos and everyone is working really hard."

Story continues after photo

Five months after the storm, Mike D wants to transition the project to a full-time restaurant staffed by residents.

"There?s still the need for warm food out there, but our real goal for this summer is to help revitalize the local economy," he told GOOD magazine.

Roger Ebert, the Heart and Soul of the Movies, Has Died

On The Daily Show?last night, Jon Stewart went after Jeff Zucker's newfangled approach at CNN, taking aim at hologram goats, vegetarians who eat bacon, and horrifying murder recreations. Stewart screamed in horror after showing the network's segment on how the Jodi Arias murder happened. "This is the middle of the day," Stewart said. "That piece could have been seen by any child?traveling through an airport."?

Report shows Nokia clearly dominates Windows Phone market share

I just read the latest AdDuplex Windows Phone report that contains findings collected from 294 Windows Phone apps and have to say that I am not surprised at all that results show the Nokia clearly dominates the Windows Phone market. Check out the report with some detailed pie charts showing the different pieces of market share.

Results from this data show that Windows Phone 7 still dominates Windows Phone 8, 75 percent to 26 percent. Nokia may have something like 78 percent, HTC nearly 14 percent, Samsung 6 percent and the rest totaling about 2 percent. I think HTC's share is likely higher when comparing Windows Phone 8 only, but Nokia did well with Windows Phone 7 with their fresh new products while others just put Windows Phone into Android bodies. Samsung hasn't really joined the Windows Phone 8 party in the US and their 6 percent share is no surprise.

You may recall that I had a tough time deciding between the Lumia 920 and HTC 8X, but in the end I purchased a red Nokia Lumia 920. The OIS camera, wireless charging, and huge assortment of Nokia apps and services made it pretty clear the Lumia 920 was the best choice and I have been quite happy with my selection.
