Steve Jobs' Outlook on Apple After Returning in 1997

Visionary

iCloud in 1997, pretty much summed up what Apple would push for this decade. I am always inspired as a leader by this man.

Wow, PROPER nerds. They were some proper nerds back then. Justin Timberlake couldn't be cast to play any of those guys.

Noah Wyle played Steve Jobs in that movie years ago. He played him very well i seem to remember.

Jobs yes, but Jobs was a rockstar. I'm talking about all the neck-beards with the button-down collars in the audience asking questions at their shoes.

Devs now seem far more socially aware.

He just comes across like a genius, always. What an incredible man.

"I don't care if Apple is viewed is different. I think it's very important that Apple is viewed as much better."

Very Sad

This makes me sad.

Without Steve Jobs Apple would have gone away. It's his innovation and hard work that brought the company from near extinction to one of America's greatest achievements. I pray for him and his family.

Apple were by no means the first with this vision... Sun Microsystems was another that always insisted 'the network is the computer' long before most people really grasped what that meant. Unfortunately Sun's marketing was never as good as Apple's, and now they're just some gum on Oracle's shoe.

Yeah, Scott McNealy had such great visions for this industry. His bold claim of "The Network is the Computer!" ushered in an era of online communication, powered by the hardware and software of his company...

oh wait, you're talking of Steve Jobs. No seriously guys, there's nothing surprising about "cloud" computing in the late 90s, it was already a hot topic on many industry lips as the online boom was beginning and always-on broadband Internet was making its way into homes for the first time.

Steve hoped on the very best bandwagon to be on, something even Microsoft failed to see.

This was a great find! I really enjoyed it and understand SJ more than ever. I think it is really cool that so much that he/Apple wanted happened, exactly. Many, visionary is the word that I always hear and read about him, but dog-gone. He has a time machine somewhere, because he was spot on.

I think more than that, he has a true passion and i can really understand and APPRECIATE that. I am not a crazed Apple fan or Microsoft fan either, I just have a passion for technology and how it relates to me. This video sparked a lot inside of me. It is NO accident that Apple is where they are and though Steve has said NO to things I want or need, I will do like the rest have and be ok. Maybe I DO need to rethink my approach. All because I can program or do something the hardway(in some eyes) or my way because itis easy for me does not mean it should be set in stone. I am always preaching about change, and adopting something else, but I need to apply it even more. But even still, Steve just wants the best. I do to. I accept my best is different than others. DLNA is fine enough for me, lol :).

It's his ability to quickly isolate new ground-breaking trends and make them part of a vision, part of a greater hole that is BETTER than the sum of the implemented parts. Next was the highlight of this announcement as they where working into the "Workstation" which is everything he sum'd up in this Q&A.

Many CEO's are lined up (for decades) to catch a cup-full of his soul-juice.

I'd love to interview that guy at 50:40. I wonder what he thinks about Steve and Apple now?
