“Steve Jobs was a no-show to pick up an award named after him… at Wired magazine’s annual Rave Awards,” Ron Harris reports for The Associated Press. “Steve Jobs won the inaugural Steve Jobs Award, which Wired says recognizes sustained excellence and creative genius… The awards recognize leaders in 16 different tech-heavy categories, including podcasts, music, business and blogs.”

MacDailyNews Take: Perhaps Jobs didn’t want to risk an inappropriate and appallingly crass lecture about charity from Wired News’ shark-jumping Leander Kahney.

Lame news.
Wired sucks huge, don’t they read their own stories?
Maybe Jobs is sick again! :0
I hope not.
Companies give awards to people like Jobs hoping to lure them to the awards dinner and use them as a reason to attend for the other paying guests. Thankfully Jobs had better things to do than be a trained monkey.
I hate Wired. Glad Steve didn’t attend.
true Tommy Boy. It’s getting stupid crazy. Good for him for not attending. I hope he didn’t even do one of those “big head on a big screen” acceptances either.
Wired doesn’t know the history of no-shows….. I do.
Wired is so 20th century. Now, if it’d been Wireless magazine …
Par for the course. Gwyneth didn’t show either when I gave out awards named after her.
There are way too many awards shows as it is. I’m waiting for the “Awards Awards” (the “Awardies”) which would award excellence in the field of awarding awards.
hey was being modest. LOL
I believe if Steve Jobs had accepted the Steve Jobs award, both would blow up. I’ll check with Mr Hawking.
Yes, Hawk says that the two would cancel each other out and create a quantum critical phase transition around the space where they once stood. Nasty stuff, that.
I think a copy of iCon comes with the Steve Jobs Award.
Ok, so he didn’t show up. Why would he not show up? Lets see, maybe because a brand new product was just launched? If you had the best computers and the best OS and you just launched a new notebook, wouldn’t you be doing all you can to make sure there were no snags?
