After 15 years with Microsoft co-founder and Dreamworks investor Paul Allen, Steven Spielberg announced he is going to work for Steve Jobs at Disney, ending speculation that the wunderkind director has, in fact, switched to Mac.
Spielberg admitted the Switch to Mac campaign was "really starting to get to him." He said goodbye to Paul Allen, wished him success with that weird, idealistic Jimi Hendrix museum project, and arrived bright and perky the next morning at ABC Disney, ready to get to work.
Unofficially, Steve Jobs is rumored to have remarked Spielberg "looked really good in Mouse ears," but then added that the "3D modeling department at Pixar had already created Spielberg Mouseketeer using Renderman and the director would likely only be needed for occasional voice-over work."
