At an Apple event today announcing the new iTunes for Windows software, Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, video conferenced with Bono in Dublin using iChat.
Bono: “It’s like the Pope of software meeting up with the Dalai Lama of integration. I’d like to teach the world to iTune… uh, sorry, wrong company. We really appreciate it. That’s why I’m here to kiss the corporate ass – I don’t kiss every corporate ass.”
Steve: “Well thank you very much.”
Steve also talked with Dr. Dre (“iTunes is a way for kids to get this new music in a legal way”) & Mick Jagger (the self proclaimed “archbishop of canterbury”).

I’m guessing integration is supposed to be interegation but I’m just going off a transcript of what was said. Apple usually has a quicktime copy of these events up later in the day/week. We’ll try and get a link up when it’s available.

Bono is clearly not down with the tech lingo. This is Apple we’re talking about. Wouldn’t Steve be the iPope? =)

Bono 101: In calling Jobs the “dalia lama of integration” (yes, integration), bono is acknowledging how Apple peacefully negotiated licensing deals with the major record labels. He’s using the word “integration” in the sense of “uniting.” Jobs brought the opposing sides — the record labels and the music downloaders — together peacefully.

hehehe!!!!!!!!!Thats hilarious! And that’s our Bono!!! I love it! As much as Bono says what he does(activism stuff) is uncool or not a hip thing to do. I fully think he’s the opposite…The coolest guy on the planet!! And will always will be.
