Thanks for the link. But what do you mean by "PI-like people"? I can't match that acronym to anything off-hand.

I'm guessing Principal Investigator.

Primary investigator-like people.

Like, he hires researchers to work under him.

Probably refers to "PI", the 1998 movie written and directed by Darren Aronofsky. The main character was an eccentric mathematician who was obsessed with patterns in the decimal expansion of the transcendal number pi. If you have not seen the movie I would encourage you to look for it as my summary is not adequate.

No, I'm afraid not. He didn't seem incredibly eccentric to me, anyhow, just a ridiculously hard worker

Thanks I was wondering how he would stay unemployed with his reputation and prior experiences at Apple :)
