Nevertheless, suffice it to say, that these two went on to found Black Op as an outlet for commercializing techology stolen from so-called "Black Budget" technology projects, mostly spy stuff (image processing) which we once used on the Russki's in the cold war, but .gov contines to develop because, well, it's been funded, and you never want to refuse funding. Our plan was to write this software for Windows, and make a few extra bucks, but since Mr.Jobs is a regular visitor to our .gov facilities, we may have got caught up in his enthusiasm or completely corrupted by the free supply of black iPods he so kindly provides our brainwashing dept.

Ah yes, then there is Sir Black. Sir Black has rather a low-level clerical job at MI6, due to the fact that he did poorly on his O-levels, despite the continual doting of his mother (bless her soul) and advanced access to the test answers. On the other hand, he vaguely qualifies as Black operative, but strictly speaking we needed someone to write the web pages - a dreadful job falsely glamourized by legions of recruiters in the San Francisco Bay Area. Truth be told, if we had to choose between dull, grey, lifeless jobs at secret .gov locations and lucrative stock options writing web pages for GOOG, we surely would live in Virginia, eat bland cafeteria food, and moonlight as Cocoa-based Mac software thngs like every other NeXT programmer who got burned by Steve Jobs.
