Steve Jobs was a frequent guest at All Things D's annual D Conference, appearing six times with D hosts Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg. After he passed away last year, Swisher and Mossberg felt it was important to have a session honoring Jobs and his legacy.
They asked Dr. Ed Catmull, who worked with Jobs for years at Pixar, as well as Larry Ellison, the legendary CEO of Oracle who was one of Jobs' closest friends, to appear and reflect on Jobs' life.
Dr. Catmull also did a separate one-on-one interview with Kara Swisher. He discussed the history of Pixar, computer animation, and shared some fascinating stories about his experiences working with Jobs at both Pixar and Disney.

"Yes."
"He was awesome."
I remember Steve Jobs. Wasn't he that Apple guy?
Don't you mean the PIXAR guy?
Well, I would not quite go that far.
Steve had a very narrow minded elitist view of the world and only preached to the top layers of the community.
Seeing him speak to high students about how they must individually strive to be the best, as he thought everyone should, be inventing things, starting companies and doing all they can to be high fliers.
Really Steve well, that's all dandy.
So tell me Steven who is going to empty your trash can, maintain the sewage plant so your toilet takes your waste away, clean the streets for you, and even assemble the products nice and cheap for you?
Oh, you mean those people that you don't think exist in the world?
If everyone followed Steve's advice the whole world would grind to a halt.
If it was not for the people he was not interested in, then there would be no Apple.
What's wrong with inspiring high school students? It would be silly if the crowd he was trying to inspire were 60 year olds, but not HS students.
Sentimental nonsense. Let Steve RIP. People need to let go.
It's generally customary to allow a year for people to mourn and reflect on so,eone's passing. Why are you so rushed to forget him?
