...exchange for splitting the costs. Several entertainment companies are offering Pixar more favorable terms than Disney's old deal, and Jobs is said to be getting peeved by the protracted negotiations with Eisner.

Come wintertime, they’re getting their kicks by giving out free samples—and hell, Harvard men are getting to eat for free. Egg nog, mulled cider, hot cocoa—anything you want, they’ll offer you a taste. In fact, these women are veritable caterers! Bag lunches, pastry assortments—I’ve even learned to make a special nacho cheese dip. As the winter...
