Actual CIA transcript

Steve Jobs: Okay, guys, we have to work out what to call this new operating system. Now, logically it should be 10, right?

Techie: We've already decided we don't want the users to see binary. It confuses them.

Steve Jobs: But 10 isn't binary.

Techie: Well, actually it is.

Evil Bill: You could call it XP!

Steve Jobs: How does he keep getting in here? Get him, Woz!

* sound of struggle, glass breaking, etc. *

Steve Jobs: Enough! You broke the G5 glass and crystal prototype!

Woz: Guess we'll just have to build the aluminium one, eh?

Steve Jobs: We could just give it a symbol instead of a name. Something ... like ... this!

Techie: Err... what is it?

Steve Jobs: It's the greek letter pi.

Woz: Haha! That's great! Apple Pi! (insane laughter)

Steve Jobs: Well, it wasn't that funny ...
