Jef Raskin in Popular Science Magazine
Popular Science chose Jef as their test pilot and interface guru for a major article on the BMW 745Li, an $80,000 super-car. Take a look at the November 2002 issue (probably not available on newsstands anymore), starting on page 114. Besides his analysis of the car's new iDrive and other features, there's a half-page photo of Jef which also reveals his biggest vise.


Short Quote in Business 2.0
Business 2.0 magazine analyzes the Knight-Ridder portal, and went to Jef for his expert opinion. It's in the November issue, p 69. Just a short quote, but pithy.


Jef Raskin in TechTV's Catalog of Tomorrow

The Catalog of Tomorrow, edited by Andrew Zolli, has contributions from movers and shakers who think about the future, and sometimes do something about it. Jef's essay, which leads off the Computing section, is called Matching Machines and Minds. If it weren't for copyright issues, we'd reproduce it here. It starts on page 22 of the Catalog of Tommorow. Here's their blurb.
