R.I.P Steve Jobs

[FetidToecheese]

Yes the specs sound silly today but it's an amazing piece of design that doesn't look out of date now.. not a Mac fan, came here from the book ;)

[HenshingYo]

My father buy that computer for me in 2000 and still works, but i don't use it anymore =(

[DPCB01]

233 mhz! wow, its changed so much, I'm using a 3,4 ghz iMac! amazing!

[djbis]

The processor: "It Screams" LMAO

[Huststyler]

233mhz (512kb cache)-LOL

32mb RAM (expandable to 48mb)-LOL

4gb hard drive-LOL

EVEN THE IPHONE 2g beats this!

[69LuCkYChArmZ69]

@Huststyler You do realize it was 1998 right?

[Josiah77]

@69LuCkYChArmZ69 No they don't. This is YouTube remember?

[FreeForAllGamerz]

@Huststyler well it is a apple product

there known for being under powder for the price

[Josiah77]

@Huststyler Crazy that a phone about 10 years later has better specs than this.....

[Huststyler]

Lol

[rustlerboi1052]

I love the way he uses his language. He strains certainty and passion into his product. I admire the way he truly embeds his own personality into the product.

I wish I had a chance to meet him.

[VaGirando]

LOL, that mouse really sucked

[DrakrSlyr]

I love new apple, but that is their sexiest computer ever!

[joosjoos]

that's still the coolest mouse on the planet. good ol pucks.

[JERZxBeasT]

theres a reason why he wore the turtle neck every time.. look it up people

[TheHolyLuc]

Watching this video now, I can hardly believe that the specs that he is dishing out is what we've come from to date.

[XxTrodxX]

Why isn't he wearing a black turtle neck, blue jeans, and new balances?...

[ItsZacYall]

omg he wore a suit?! wheres the casual black sweater and jeans?

[vaibhav402]

233MHZ :O!! amazing how technology advances!

[ALittleNooby]

@vaibhav402 this video was in 1998 dumbass.

[vaibhav402]

@ALittleNooby hey dumbass..did u read anything ahead of 233hmhz? i have written "its amazing how technology advances" learn to comprehend sentences before u call someone a dumbass, DUMBASS!

[ALittleNooby]

@vaibhav402 I don't read all the time -_-

[vaibhav402]

@ALittleNooby atleast read the entire sentence before commenting thats all m saying...its like commenting on the video without completely watching it :D

[HenryHins]

can i run lion on this mac? or buy a macbook pro instead?

[franta1014]

WOW!!

[salvadorRudy]

This thing is uuuugly!! haha funny steve <3

[Killerdude240]

[BrooklynBros]

Shittiest mouse on the planet..

[2011bberry1]

iwater

[JaoquinQ]

Steve you magnificent beast.

[addsapp]

"Let's go ahead and put ALOT of memory in this thing! 32mb standard!" Geeze how the times have changed.

[Gouki6669]

was this before or after he got fired form his own company? 

[bwillwall]

@Gouki6669 this was right after that I believe

[DjacobCZ]

@Gouki6669

It was right after he came back

[MrAmolchopra]

@Gouki6669 this was after steve came back to apple..this was also the time when apple was on the verge of bankruptcy and the success of imac resurrected apple back...:)

[bamsb90]

@besikta5 Well, the devices that Apple puts out are certainly customizable. Ever heard of Geek Tool on the Mac App Store? With a little bit of basic coding knowledge, it can put basically anything you want on your desktop. Or look at the Mac Mini. The bottom opens up so you can add stuff to your system. As for the "assumptions" he's making, I'd say he's just trying to show why his product is so great. I think he does a great job at doing that.

[besikta5]

He keeps making assumptions people feel the same way he does. That is why he made devices limited customization.

[SJ4EV3R]

Legend!

[goricanec666]

Thumbs up if Steve Jobs book brought you here :)

[Sk8Joker1]

Translucent. SO KEWL

[cockeye60]

Apple is the best company in the world, if u don't think so your a n00b

[chodestein]

One of the worst computers ever produced. God, that thing was shit.

[whatrugonnadocrazy]

wow, you can really see that this new desktop really does blow the other out the water. in terms of design, personal connection......thats the key, steve jobs created a personal connection with technology and humans, he made it natural...for that it took a mind as creative as his.

[kiely456]

33.6 kb modem, wow i bet that baby flew! lol, i wonder how long it would take to watch a HD youtube video using that lol

RIP steve

[pote2639conan]

@kiely456 only 240p video will take an hours for that speed

[DJOLLIETHOMAS]

"this thing screams as you will see in a minute" lol

[JProwler94]

The displays were pretty ahead-of-time too, I mean, 1024 x 768 is pretty good resolution!

[RealRidah187]

R.I.P Steve Jobs, you were a legend

[tapkae]

"The back of this thing looks better than the front of the other guys!'" LOL!

[ivis65]

Brilliant!!!



[AndyPantsMusic]

4 whole gigabytes!

[theanthony345]

so does anyone know how i can make that presentation play on my g3 iMac like at 4:18 ? really want to know.

[appleinfl]

@theanthony345 It's not a presentation. It's just some video apple put together and ran on it.

[TMJprodctions]

 gotta love it

[MasterHaidar]

its weird to see how much technology has improved!

[bashbrannigan]

Even today, including today's iMacs, this is the best looking computer ever!

[asq67w]

so thats what the 'i' stands for

[deadlyorgans]



[imjoaop]

He made me want one! lol

[MegaAwesomeSteve]

i guess after this he was like, "fuck it, i'm rich now" and just wore the same thing every day

[danielamigos]

@MegaAwesomeSteve In his biografía, it says that when he released the first iMac, he didn't have any shares in the company and was only recieving 1 dollar a year. He wanted to show everybody that he didn't return to apple to get rich but to make the world better thought his products...

[MrBeatzFactory]

@MegaAwesomeSteve he was rich waaay before this

[MrFotoDP]

@MegaAwesomeSteve Haha! When he was 24 he was worth 25 million. When he gave this presentation Apple was paying him 1 dollar a month. He cared more about the products than money. Not many CEO in the world today like this guy!

[justibisnotfag]

He*

[justibisnotfag]

Be was so funny :D R.i.p steve Jobs

[celatino]

233 MHz

32mb RAM

4gb hard disk

Amazing How Technology advances, Thank you Steve!

[Neojhun]

Oh wow, the first time i have ever heard the justification for calling everything "i". Good to know they actualy publicised it.

[extremespeedster]

My school had tons of these in the computer lab back in elementary, too bad they replaced them with windows pcs. I loved this thing (except for the mouse)

[FunnyVideoCollector]

clap, cheer or die.

[Nikkosol1]

233 megahertz wow i only got duel core 1.5 ghz in my mobil phone!!!! :D

[j4416m]

32mb memory :) omg :) can't believe it

[khms95]

anyone else see the Microsoft website on the iMac

[EpicEarn]

6:53 The stupidest thing Steve Jobs has ever said in his whole life.

[bashbrannigan]

@EpicEarn Sadly, it wasn't. The stupidest was "I don't need the operation." Great man lost.

[MrJamers3]

Uggggggggggggggggggggly! RIP

[Crazystuff1990]

Rip

[KuzzNshazziie]

[christo930]

Worst mouse design in history!

[madfat216]

Lol in ten years the current iMac will look like crap too

[stubby364]

i like it

[elvinwong12]

"These things are uuuggllyyyy." Words of a legend.

[Hellstrom03]

1:52

[burgerboot]

32 MB memory lol

[2100chevy]

They cost so fuckin much?

[FuzzyDopey]

Whoa a g3/233 processor...WHAT A BEAST!!!!

[Kaludify]

Its weird to see him in suit!

[alexloveschristiana]

RIP Steve Jobs, you have changed the world forever.

[unlockthepower]

Looks like crap now though in 2011

[xXaspie64Xx]

it looks like something lady gaga would clime into!

[monkeybutt782]

I'm getting one of the later ones from my grandma tomorrow!

[yesthesky]

Even today, First iMac's design is still better than some today's computers

[boogey7man]

apple is soooo fast moving and innovative......but one thing hasnt changed yet........dat thing in steve jobs hand!!! XD

[fallingwithsirens]

i feel strange watching Jobs without black turtle neck

R.I.P Steve jobs

[vanessa19436]

It should call i ugly

[SimHarrison]

@vanessa19436 it should call you ugly?

[Ying2000Yang]

The mouse does not suck its just iow it was back then, compared to the new magic mouse

[koasterlover1045]

These things are UUUGLY!

[metroid567]

@koasterlover1045 Gee, it sure looks better than most PCs even today.

[w98ii]

back in that time pc was much better than imac

[hiian123]

lol its amazing to think how much computers have changed in the past ten years! From the original imac with a single core 233mhz processor, .5mb cache, 15" display, 32mb ram, and a hockey puck mouse, into a three inch thick computer, 27" display, 4-8GB of ram, 6mb L3 cache, 1-2 TB hard drives, and quad core 3.2ghz core i7 processors! Not to mention wireless keyboards, and a wireless mouse with a touchpad built in. Imagine ten years from now how far technology will be!

[MrDodobir]

i had one of these back in 1999.. it was a great computer if we put aside that shitty mouse and keyboard.. it's funny how Steve Jobs introduces it as 'the greats mouse ever'.. nothing can be so far from the truth...

[hakokomakakure]

もう(ﾉ∀`) 最高ですね!!!

[wogfun]

Even for 1998, these specs were shit...  this guy is nothing more than salesman.

[ElZappata]

@wogfun BUT A GREAT ONE AT THAT...LOL!

[IronD472]

its soo coool!!

[ra4king]

Everything by Apple sucked. Yes they set standards and made "beautiful" hardware, but the software absolutely sucked!

[naantipa]

that was the worst mouse ever created.

[thatsahughjass]

Just picked up a emac 1.46 for the kids on Craigslist for $20... Running 10.5... Kids are so happy.. and I dont need to worry about an lcd getting cracked.

[8944601]

R.i.p steve jobs

[nura78]

That mouse sucked.... i could never stand using it

[Stacc001]

I WANT INFARED BEAMING BACK!

[virginboy92]

@Stacc001 i want steve back alive !!

[HELLSAINT258PPS]

@Stacc001 Ummmmmm... Bluetooth.

[bob93219]

@Stacc001 but we have wifi and bluetooth

[cristianospeedtriple]

This thing scream! Ehehehe....

[FlightSimTutorials]

One thing that Apple never cared about were ergonomics. Look at their current keyboards, they give you carpel tunnel just by looking at them. The mighty mouse and magic mouse give you fatigue within 5 mins of using them. They have always sacrificed ergonomics for style because ergonomics doesn't sell their products.

[SthlmHenrik]

@FlightSimTutorials Their keyboards used to suck, but they're actually really nice now. Apple just can't make a decent mouse however. I'm a dedicated Apple user, but I've always used mice from other manufacturers.

[FlightSimTutorials]

@SthlmHenrik Well yes their keyboard design is very nice however they are an ergonomic catastrophe.

[justineuropa]

@FlightSimTutorials What do you think of the Magic Mouse. I guess it's ok after one gets used to it.

[FlightSimTutorials]

@justineuropa Design-wise I like it a lot however after trying it for a week I started getting pain in my wrist. And this is under standard usage, maybe 45min-1hr per day.

[Murdurus]

god i hated that fucking mouse

[FlightSimTutorials]

@Murdurus Everybody did, the only one that liked it was Steve Jobs.

[er10b]

My brother got one when he was 2 in '99 - It was the first personal computer I taught him to use - but he didn't like the mouse.

[HollylovesMark]

these things are uuuuuglyy. OOOHH GURL

[terrible0ne]

@HollylovesMark you are an idiot. Are you aware that this is 13 years ago GURL?

[terrible0ne]

@terrible0ne and I am an idiot.. for not realizing you were quoting Jobs... nice

[HollylovesMark]

@terrible0ne I was merely making a joke of the sassy way he said "ugly" which doesn't really make me an idiot. I think you'd have more of a right to call me an idiot if you actually knew me.

[Glaucus44]

Steve is wearing a suit? o.O

[joshuavideogames]

so epic...

[WIERDOMAN123321]

I wish apple made stuff now with the fastest specs.
