Steve Jobs

Due to the passing of Steve Jobs yesterday, I thought it would be appropriate to learn something new about him. (or re-learn something you already knew)
Did you know: in 2007 during the introduction of the iPhone at Macworld, he used the iPhone to call Starbucks and order 4000 lattes to go.

Microwaves

The Fact: Microwave cooking was discovered accidentally, when a chocolate bar melted in someone’s pocket
This is very true and very scary – imagine what it was doing to his leg! The fact is, Percy LeBaron Spencer of the Raytheon Company was walking past a radar tube and he noticed that the chocolate bar in his pocket melted. He then tested popcorn in front of the tube (surely turning up the power and standing out of the beam), and it quickly popped all over the room. He is (obviously) known as the inventor of the Microwave oven.
