Andy Hertzfeld, one of the original members of the Macintosh team that helped pioneer the personal computer revolution alongside Jobs and Steve Wozniak, published the photo to his Google+ page on Thursday in memoriam of the late Apple co-founder and his rebellious spirit.
The 28-year-old Jobs had flown to New York City with Hertzfeld for a quick meeting with Newsweek in December of 1983, as the publication was putting together a cover story for the launch of the Macintosh the following month.
"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," Hertzfeld said. "Somehow I ended up with a copy of it."
Although his editor begged him to include the photo in his 2004 book Revolution in The Valley, Hertzfeld admitted that he was "too timid" to ask Jobs for permission, especially given that IBM was still supplying processors to Apple for its Mac product line at the time.

Flicking stuff off could be the next internet meme... or has it always been one?edit: Fine, I'll start it off...
Perhaps Steve was just buying IBM a Wild Turkey?
Funny how the comments from some posters would look down on a young Steve Jobs...or ironic...or both.
People who want to become famous need great ennemies to point at. For Steve/Apple, IBM was the first, then came Microsoft. The only one I can think of to play that part is Samsung. After this, there will be none left ...
Stay classy, Steve.
