Anyone knows what is to be expected to be inside? Has this been documented earlier? Like does it contain 'current' things Jobs thought would be a mark for the future, or rather new inventions / drawings of things to come (davinci style)? Invented by himself or others?
So much wrong with this coverage. The only thing new is the exclusive "fake" find video. From a cnet article back in September:
But Jobs' mouse wasn't easily found inside. Rather, it was hidden amidst hundreds, or even thousands of other artifacts last seen in 1983. So the "Diggers" team had to wait a few days before reaching their goal.
Which also begs the question. From thousands of artifacts the only thing worth a photo is a mouse?
I thought the whole point of time capsules was to store stuff in them for far longer than 30 years i.e. for several generations. Seems to shame to be digging this up now. I can still vividly remember the tech I was using back in the early 80's and all the types of biscuits that they don't make any more.
Is it just me or does this feel too soon to really give two hoots about? 30 years is within my lifetime, just kinda feels like Mom pulling out old baby clothes and saying 'look at your old onesie!' Wow, looks a bit different to my own babies onesie which is still just as utilised today, but it's by no means a relic. Having said that we still get interested in 30000 year old excavated skulls (which most of us have and still use today). I guess it's the time / evolution factor. I'm just not that interested in this find. Seems more apt for HN readers in 3014.
