A reader asks: What percentage robot is Bertrand Serlet?


The answer is zero. Bertrand is not a robot. He’s a cyborg. There’s a difference. I’m not sure what it is but I’m told they’re not the same. Cyborgs can cry or something. He was built by a division of Airbus in France. Later models were not as scary looking and we’re considering an upgrade. Reader asks about this after seeing this article in the New York Times where they compared Bertrand to Steven Sinofsky at Microsoft, who I’m told is neither robot nor cyborg. FWIW we did not authorize this story, and I’m pretty upset that Bertrand is trying to take the credit for developing OS X when everyone knows that it’s my creation, but I’m just too humble and modest to say that publicly.
