Andy Hertzfeld, a member of the original Apple Macintosh development team and the designer behind Google+ Circles, has posted a rare photo of Steve Jobs giving the finger to IBM.

In memoriam for Steve Jobs as 2011 draws to a close, here's one more rare photo that illustrates his rebellious spirit. In December 1983, a few weeks before the Mac launch, we made a quick trip to New York City to meet with Newsweek, who was considering doing a cover story on the Mac. The photo was taken spontaneously as we walked around Manhattan by Jean Pigozzi, a wild French jet setter who was hanging out with us at the time. Somehow I ended up with a copy of it. My editor begged me to include it in my book, but I was too timid to ask for permission, especially since IBM was still making CPUs for Apple at the time.

Check out the photo below...

@kamatis: Ever heard the saying "he who dies with the most, wins"? Well, Steve Jobs died while his company had more money the the American government. I'd say that's a CLEAR win, especially starting from a garage!
