I still cherish STEVE programms; ILLUSTRATOR, PAGEMAKER, FREEHAND, MACWRITE, PHOTOSHOP, QUARCK-X-PRESS Kind regards. With ILLUSTRATOR I made for example masterpiece the FORD KA. MONDEO etc.
I remember that day as it was yesterday. It was a magical moment and all our neighbours came to our house, gathered in front of the tv to watch together in awe, when steve hercules adonis jobs anounced the drop of the i. We all had tears in our eyes and hugged in excitment and emotion. 9 month later, my son was born. One day, i will tell my grandchildren that great story. What a time to be alive.
“One day, a long time ago, at the start of the millennium kiddos, Steve Jobs got me so emotionally engrossed in his role at Apple I fucked granny and made your father” yeah, gotta admit that’s a great one for the grandkids to hear; I’d run it by your son first but he’ll probably be too busy watching that year’s keynote to care so just go for it!
And ... like basketball doesnt make anything better in the world... the digital revolution overall has a very inconsistent record. Jobs was a typical first gen IT tycoon - he thought building better machines will automatically do good to human society. He was wrong. Just check out our desaster of (un)social media. IT industry makes a lot of people dumber than they already are and we have no clue how to handle misinformation and lies. Cause this is not a problem of technology but a social problem. And this social problem is ACCELERATED by technology. And I am looking forward what machine learning will do to our society - especially the job market of white collar human worker. This could become a real massacre. But we will see. But back to Jordan - what did really happen? Instead of making most people playing basketball themselves... Jordan made million of people sit at the tv and eat a lot of trash food and do a very unhealthy thing to themselves for entertainment "fun". And he got very rich by this. To cheer for this is a bit weird.
I’ve been watching this lovely video since we were not Christians… 4 years ago or more… but since 2019 we follow Jesus…. and we celebrates Lovely Christmas every year since then …. ✝️👨👩👦💜🥰
i love that it has brought ur family. to God be the glory but celebrate the life of Christ everyday. He gave his life so that we may be able to attain eternal life with Him and Jesus. All love brother!
"If we want to move forward... we have to let go of this notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose" This is something a lot of cultish fandoms, in tech and everything really, need to hear.
Having Microsoft invest in the company that would one day overtake their market cap is NUTS. I know that Bill Gates only did it because they were be investigated for monopolistic practices but even still. Just incredible.
That “lifestyle brand” thing Ellison said was probably the number one thing that saved the company. If they didn’t have that weird cult like dedication to the brand, it wouldn’t have been able to turn it around.
The year is 2023, and I am watching this video on my iPad. Apple is more relevant than ever. The business world revolves in cycles that do not repeat themselves, but rhyme quite well!
The way Jobs said “after 4 weeks … I found people that can’t wait to follow a good strategy”. He lit up that company. And he even brought a rich paedo on at the end of the preso who was booed and still turned it into a success.
This partnership with Microsoft was an indispensable strategic move for Apple. Genius of Steve Jobs knowing when to compromise with an "enemy" because at that point in 1997 Apple was struggling to survive having lost around $1.5B for the preceding year.
I love the fact that he ousted the scumbags that ousted him. I wasn't in the room when he made the announcement to the former members of the board but I can only imagine the tension, lol. I love it!!!!! I believe that Arthur Rock was already gone when Steve returned. It would have been beautiful to get rid of that piece of garbage.
It takes 10 seconds and 2 slides to understand that things have changed for good. Presentation from GIl Emilio has all the reasons why Apple was failling: animations show up for no reason, colours inhibit reading and that pace on his voice made me ask one thing : Why is this incompetent CEO of anything? I wouldnt trust this guy to run a lemonade shop.
This was a smart unthinkable symbiotic business relationship at that time between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates that created lasting effect. Apple needed the capital injections as the jumping board to create new products. Microsoft wanted to make Office an incumbent product. Both have grown leaps and bounds ever since, even long after they part ways.....
I LOVE this commercial! This is my neighbor, Valarie, and the photos she's holding are those of herself and her real-life husband, Raymond, who passed away. It gets me and my husband every time...
