Steve Jobs: “I Admire Mark Zuckerberg For Not Selling Out” The 60 Minutes interview with Steve Jobs biographer Walter Isaacson is up on the web, but one of the most interesting parts is an outtake that didn’t make it into the televised segment. In it, we hear Steve Jobs talking about his rivals directly from some of Isaacson’s taped interviews. While Jobs was withering in his assessment of Google and Microsoft, he expressed respect for Facebook and founder Mark Zuckerberg. “We talk about social networks in the plural,” Jobs told Isaacson, “but I don’t see anybody other than Facebook out there. Just Facebook, They are dominating this. He doesn’t have such nice things to say about Google or Microsoft. Jobs’ relationship with Bill Gates goes back the furthest and is the most complicated. Only later did Gates relate to Isaacson: “What I didn’t tell Steve is that it only works when you have a Steve Jobs.”
Apple's 1987 Knowledge Navigator, Only One Month Late Bud Colligan wrote: How the Knowledge Navigator video came about Sparked by the introduction of Siri, as well as products such as iPad and Skype, there have been many recent posts and articles tracing the technologies back to a 1987 Apple video called “Knowledge Navigator” ( The video simulated an intelligent personal assistant, video chat, linked databases and simulations decades before they were commercially available. Educom, the main higher education conference for academic computing, was coming up in October 1987. There was no big hullabaloo about Knowledge Navigator in the couple months post Educom (the mainstream media does not attend Educom).
Steve’s Final “One More Thing…” Steve Jobs was the ultimate showman. As such, it should be no surprise that he realized the power of following up a great performance with an encore. But unlike many musicians who treat encores as a given add-on for each show, Jobs seemed to recognize that encores are much more powerful if they’re used judiciously. The Steve Jobs encore was the “One more thing…” He didn’t use it all the time, and because of that, when he did, it would whip the audience into a frenzy. Following his passing, the question now turns to what Jobs was working on in his final days. In the weeks following his death, reports have been popping up that he was working on a few new things, perhaps even up to the day before his passing on October 5. Considering the iPhone is Apple’s key product now (at least in terms of revenue), certainly one final version revamped by Jobs himself would be a worthy final project. Jobs’ upcoming biography is the source for a lot of this new information. And then there’s the big one.

Quand Steve Wozniak parle de Steve Jobs Ce n'est un secret pour personne que Steve Jobs avait la réputation d'être un personnage difficile à vivre. Nombreux sont les témoignages à en faire état. Ceci dit, rares sont ceux à pouvoir vraiment permettre de faire la lumière sur le fondateur de Apple. Steve Wozniak en fait partie, il s'est d'ailleurs récemment livré au Milwaukee Business Journal. « Steve Jobs a eu différentes personnalités pendant toute la période où je l’ai connu », déclare Steve Wozniak. Malheureusement, ses relations avec les autres, et bien évidemment, ses employés, en ont souffert. « Certains de mes meilleurs amis chez Apple, les plus créatifs qui ont travaillé sur le Macintosh, la plupart d’entre eux ont affirmé qu’ils ne travailleraient plus jamais pour Steve Jobs », admet Steve Wozniak. « C’était à ce point-là. » Mais malgré son attitude exécrable, Steve Jobs avait un profond respect pour ses employés. L’interview complète est à voir en vidéo ci-dessous.

Steve Jobs: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish" | Features I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. It started before I was born. And 17 years later I did go to college. It wasn’t all romantic. Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. I really didn’t know what to do for a few months. My third story is about death.
How the bicycle beats evolution and why Steve Jobs was so taken with this fact | Bike Boom Apple’s late leader Steve Jobs loved to liken the computer to the bicycle (“the computer … is the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds”) and there are two films of him recounting a fact he’d picked up from Scientific American. Below I’ll quote from the article Jobs was referring to – which showed that a person on a bicycle was more energy efficient than a condor in flight and many times more energy efficient than a person in an automobile – but first here are the films, clearly shot some years apart: “I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometer. The “somebody” at Scientific American was S. Wilson was also an enthusiast of human-powered flight and, had he been alive today, he would have no doubt worked on solar-powered flight. [Wilson is not the Wilson who wrote the seminal Bicycling Science of 1974, that was David Gordon Wilson. It’s worthwhile reading what S.S.
How Steve Jobs Changed the Story It’s been simply astonishing to see the heartfelt response to the death of Steve Jobs. Here was a successful businessman and CEO: a billionaire no less. Not the kind of positions that usually produce such public affection. But he touched many lives and many hearts in a profound and powerful way… The story didn’t start so promising: He was born to an unwed mother and put up for adoption. Dropped out of college. He changed the story… And changed the world in ways both small and majestic. He had belief. Your story up to this point doesn’t have to be how the book ends. You get a new beginning in life by becoming a new you. You have the power to create your destiny. There is a new you locked inside you at this very moment. Steve changed the story because he was an innovator and a visionary. One thing is certain: If your life is boring, it is not the life you are meant to live. If Steve Jobs touched your life like he did mine, do his memory justice.
