Marketwatch Apple's Jobs has the answers. By Neal Lipschutz RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif. (MarketWatch) -- Apple Inc. Chief Executive Steve Jobs simply exudes confidence. At least that's the impression one gets watching Jobs answer questions for some 90 minutes, as he did earlier this week at the All Things Digital technology conference here.
And why not be confident?

D8: Steve Jobs on the Gizmodo story Jobs talks candidly about Apple's situation with Gizmodo, the site that bought an iPhone prototype found in a bar.

MSNBC Zuckerberg sweats FB Questions.
The reviews are in on Mark Zuckerberg’s appearance at the Wall Street Journal’s eighth D8, the All Things Digital conference. And the consensus is, things did not go well for the Facebook founder and CEO. “Literally dissolving in a lake of his own sweat,” as described by D’s John Paczkowski, Zuckerberg fielded questions from the site’s executive producers Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher, without really answering any of them. Responding to their repeated and rephrased queries on Facebook’s privacy issues and whether he understands there’s a perception that Facebook is on course to push all user info onto the open Web, Zuckerberg stayed on message.
It was the same message Facebook’s been courting to the public via Zuckerberg’s recent Washington Post op-ed and the press conference introducing Facebook’s “simplified” privacy settings. “There have been misperceptions that we are trying to make all information open,” he told Mossberg and Swisher. “That’s completely false.” Steve Jobs Ushers in Post-PC Era | Lance Ulanoff. Apple's CEO plays oracle for the next phase in personal computing—and it probably doesn't include PCs. Am I, as Apple CEO Steve Jobs quipped last night at the D Conference, uncomfortable talking about or, perhaps, confronting the post-PC era? Maybe a little bit. After all, "PC" is part of the brand name I work for, and even though it stands for "Personal Computing" and not "Personal Computer," I still get just a little anxious when I imagine a world without desktops or even laptops.
That revolution will not happen overnight, but I think everyone realizes—and Jobs takes pleasure in—the knowledge that his company set the spark that ignited this transformation. With two million iPads sold so far and the possibility of 10 million sold by the end of the year, the Apple iPad is no niche product. No one, including Jobs, is saying that we'll wake up tomorrow and companies and consumers will be dumping their desktop and laptop computers in the trash. It started with, naturally, the iPhone. MSNBC - Here comes the new iPhone. We're just a few days away from Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, which means the rumor mill's heating up again. Let's take a look at what's burbling and see if we can't separate probable fact from probable fiction. Will the new iPhone be announced? Ever since Apple's next-generation iPhone was uncovered, there's been speculation that the early reveal would push the announcement up from the traditional WWDC Steve Jobs keynote.
Looks like Apple hasn't rushed things after all; expect to see Apple's next iPhone introduced, officially, June 7th. Probability: 100 percent Will it have video chat? Will it back detect multitouch gesture controls? Will the new iPhone go on sale? Will Apple TV get a much-needed upgrade? Will there be a Verizon iPhone (or iPad)? Will we see iTunes.com?

Originally published June 1, 2010 at 9:04 PM | Page modified June 2, 2010 at 7:58 PM RANCHO PALOS VERDE, Calif. — Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs may look frail nowadays, but he showed plenty of fight, and humor, in a wide-ranging discussion Tuesday night at the D8: All Things Digital conference hosted by The Wall Street Journal.
For nearly two hours, Jobs jousted with hosts Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher, who pressed the Apple co-founder on his company's strained relationship with Google and Adobe, competition with Microsoft and Apple's push into the ad business. Even at the start of a three-day conference full of celebrity chief executives, Jobs received rock-star treatment. A crowd waited behind velvet ropes outside the ballroom at the Terranea Resort and surged when the doors opened at 5:45 p.m., jockeying for the best seats. Swisher jumped right into the interview with Jobs, asking for his thoughts on Apple surpassing Microsoft's market capitalization last week.

Examinder Jobs dishes on lost iPhone, Adobe. Steve Jobs' most anticipated next appearance has to be at WWDC next Monday, where he is expected to roll out iPhone OS 4 and the fourth-generation iPhone, as well. Second most anticipated on his list was probably his appearance on Tuesday at the Wall Street Journal's All Things D conference.
Jobs shared his view of the tech world with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher there, and here are a few tidbits: Asked about one of the highest profile "cases" of late, the lost iPhone which wound up in Gizmodo's hand, Jobs was clear that they would not let the issue slide. In fact, he commented that the story should be made into a movie (hopefully, a TV docudrama). "It's got theft. It's got buying stolen property. It's got extortion. We still say Apple should have the engineer who lost the device, Gray Powell, come out with the iPhone in his hand, at least so we know he's still alive.
He is correct in terms of his statistics. Well we learned this really interesting thing. What about AT&T? NW - Steve Jobs holds court at D8. Apple CEO Steve Jobs answered some questions, dodged a few others, and gave some interesting glimpses into his thought process Tuesday night during a 100-minute-long question-and-answer session in southern California. Jobs appeared as a guest on the opening night of the annual D Conference hosted by The Wall Street Journal’s digital duo, Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher. You can read a liveblog transcript of the event at Engadget or All Things D or CNET, and a video clip is now available. Read on for the highlights: The missing iPhone: Jobs acknowledged that the next-generation iPhone photographed by Gizmodo was circulating as a part of the normal testing of wireless products.
“To make a wireless product work well you need to test it. You have to carry them outside. One of our employees was carrying one. Jobs said that although he was advised to lay off Gizmodo in the aftermath of the story’s publication, he decided to pursue the matter out of principle. Fast Co - Jobs: Google TV PC's Demise. Steve Jobs lived up to the hype at D8 on Tuesday, forecasting a dim future for PCs and Google TV, offering candid comments on the Gizmodo iPhone incident, and more.
Thrown by All Things D and hosted by the Wall Street Journal's head tech writer, Walt Mossberg, this year's D conference (the eighth, hence "D8") is the first since 2007 in which Jobs has participated. Given the media attention, you'd think Jobs was the only one speaking. Jobs began by noting that while Apple surpassing Microsoft in market valuation is "surreal," "it doesn't really mean anything.
" He batted aside the usual questions about Flash, Adobe, and his "Thoughts on Flash" essay, still pushing HTML5 and saying he merely wrote that essay in response to "being trashed by Adobe in the press. " On the subject of PCs, he said they'd taken us a long way, then made a trucks vs. cars analogy, explaining that, before people built metropolises, they drove trucks, because they needed the boxy utility. Stray observations: Steve Jobs fears Nation of Bloggers. High performance access to file storage A free and open professional media is essential to democracy, Steve Jobs said yesterday at the All Things D conference. "I don't want us to become a nation of bloggers myself.
I think we need editorial more than ever right now. "We have to get ways of people to start paying for this hard earned content... Anything that we can do to help the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and other news gathering organisations to find new ways of expression, so they can afford to get paid, to keep their news gathering operations intact, I'm all for. " You may afford yourself an ironic chuckle at this point. Ironic too, because if Apple's lawyers had their way, the 'free' in 'free press' would take on an entirely new meaning. Of course as with anyone who's trying to selling you something, the pitch is self-serving. But fortunately for Jobs, on this question he's right, and the tide is turning in his favour.
