adj.,v. , /steevd/ [Apple employees and users] Terminated, said of a
|
|
|
|
|
development project. Originated after Steven P. Jobs returned to Apple as
|
|
|
|
|
acting CEO in 1997. Jobs immediated axed several development projects,
|
|
|
|
|
including OpenDoc and Newton that had been launched by John Sculley, the man
|
|
|
|
|
who had ousted Jobs in the mid 1980s. Now any project shut down at Apple and
|
|
|

|
often at any large firm connected with Apple may be said to have gotten

steved. It is usually spelled lowercase despite the origin. It is almost
|
|
|
|
|
always past-tense and used quasi-adjectivally.
