The Steve Jobs '95 Interview, unabridged

[olizk]

Happy birthday Steve

[samann95014]

Steve Jobs was eventually the one to pull the rabbit out of a hat.

[reziraj]

Happy Birthday from Bosnia!

[JustOMT111]

I keep watching this masterpiece over & Over and can't help but wonder. Did we fail Steve in many ways by letting the shitty pCs,dumb phones, and other crappy devices be shoved down our throats and Apple from developing to their fullest potential for a long period of time....

[digitalintent]

@JustOMT111 You didn't fail Steve. You did exactly as he wanted.

[JustOMT111]

Excellent video! Such a great visionary...

[cynicalnihilist]

thanks for sharing!

[whooget]

great video, It's amazing how he knew what future and Internet will bring, that's what I call a "true inspiration" that's the real Enterprenuer right there.

[gt198gtr]

I like this video, very very insightful. He seems engaged and interested

[ThrowboyPillows]

This is such a gem. Thank you for uploading.

[SAtruth22]

PURE GENIUS 

[DTR89]

17:37 EPIC pause! LOL

[KemptonLam]

Thanks for posting this. I was reading the transcript of this video history interview and I am glad I found your video here as I find the raw video infinitely more interesting to watch instead of reading the text alone!

[thizzle7xu]

I actually like this Steve Jobs. What happened to him when he went back to Apple?

[djmatics36]

great video



[weeblerbob]

its like the steve jobs biography in a video. ha

[stacattos]

@weeblerbob Yes, I think all that Walter Isaacson did is transcribing Steve Job's videos

[wizdom428]

As I stream this from my iPad onto my living room tv through my Apple TV, seamlessly.

[ben00au]

Amazing..1995 footage of the guy who helped in the suicides of the slaves he used to pump out ipods..i just know im gonna get some wank job replying to this comment who wants to say how wrong i am that i should like the taste of steve job's dick that infact steve job's dick is the only flavour i should enjoy..Steve Jobs loved to watch slaves jump off buildings-the end.

[Mooseboy2358]

@ben00au Yes - damn him giving all those people a job who without him would certainly die anyway.

Bastard.

[ben00au]

@Mooseboy2358 i hope the Chinese will think the same about you when the middle class shift goes straight to China starting from 2016 when they will officially be the World's super economy.

[Mooseboy2358]

@ben00au Oh dear.

Happy wrapped up in foil there are we?

[ben00au]

@Mooseboy2358 why would someone be wrapped in foil? I think i know what you mean..Foil as in alien's as in NWO etc ...What i said about the middle class shift isnt a conspiracy infact its already hapenning if you watch the news. 2016 according to bloomberg is the estimated year that China will become the next super economy which would mean a shift in middle class. This isnt a conspiracy and the fact that you dont know this is hilarious.

[whoedafant]

@Canadianloyalist123 You f*cking asshole! Steve Jobs was a great man, so shut up!

[jackarmful]

Amazing. What if Steve be the president of the US.

[ravishingravi]

This is amazing! This is beautiful ! Jobs was a flawed man like most of us but trying so hard to be better. An extraordinary revolutionary.

[FendyRhodes]

@Canadianloyalist123 You're*

[jrr0385]

1:01:00 Wild that in 1995 Steve Jobs is referring to the genius of Amazon and other web-based businesses which eventually slowly started to bankrupt the brick and mortar bookstore business and has started to decimate Best Buy and many other "brick & mortar" busineses and industries. I mean, he absolutely nailed it. Things that started happening in 2009 with Circuit City's bankruptcy he basically saw in 1995... brilliant stuff.

[ehanbameh1]

@jrr0385 I couldn't agree more.

[GoGipInc]

@jrr0385 Well I can say that 150 years from now were going to have flying cars, communities on the moon, houses that don't catch fire, and no governments. Am I as brilliant as Steve now?

[jrr0385]

@GoGipInc Coming up with random shit (ie flying cars) is quite different from seeing the potential of a certain technology and having great reasoning and rationale as to why and how that technology will have a drastic impact on the economy in the future. Steve goes a little more in depth than just stating a prediction and that's where the brilliance is.

[GoGipInc]

@jrr0385 Couldn't agree with you more!

[jrr0385]

@GoGipInc You want to tell me what technology has the potential to create a flying car and how and why that will impact the economy and human life in general, then you're on Steve's level in relation to his prediction of e-commerce.

[GoGipInc]

@jrr0385 Yes. Jet propulsion.

[DustinTROM]

@jrr0385 Thank you for pointing this out! Can't believe I missed it after watching the whole thing. It's no wonder how people, even without knowing him, made a very special connection with him. He was indeed a very special human being.

Ya, agree totally about the American public "wanting" these shows to turn off their mind. Most American's don't want to think. 

[degoban]

Gone dude, gone, ha ha

[thedarkness97]

This is Platinum, thank you for uploading this.

[loveuala]

isn't the 2 dislikes Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer?

[bobjimjones]

He makes a great case for privatizing the school system here.

[LovingPoontang69]

In today culture...working with your hands is considered is low class. Steve Jobs was PROUD to work with his hands.

[asutn]

This is 90 mins of quality material, I mean.

[TheJedEd]

Watched on the iPad. Motorcycle for my mind.

[rohitaashproductions]

Gold. Pure Gold.

[tyrionoutrider]

What a complete asshole. This guy's death made the world a better place. Microsoft for life.

[tyrionoutrider]

You can really see the massive ego and the totalitarian world view in this interview.

[berkberkinyobutt]

@tyrionoutrider what the hell are you talking about?

[tyrionoutrider]

@berkberkinyobutt I'm saying that Steve Jobs was an asshole and he stole everyone else's ideas.

[berkberkinyobutt]

@tyrionoutrider He put things together that people hadn't thought about. If you read the biography your view will change, as I had the same as yours.

[ats90mph]

@tyrionoutrider "Asshole" is a relative term.

[danish2baswal]

steve jobs was this brilliant person who had the courage to do the right thing, thank god, this world had him or our future would have never been as it is today. love his bio. its damn inspiring, he infected me with his persona that now i think i can do anything, wish i get to work at apple.

[111000Free00111]

The idea of the vouchers is milton friedman orignal if I am not mistaken. It is an excellent idea, hopefully will be implemented some day, somewhere.

[HerrKnitler]

@111000Free00111

They actually have a kind of voucher thing going on in Sweden. High schools get tax money for the amount of kids they recruit. This has seriously lowered the standards of education. The private schools are incentivized to give students higher grades than they deserve and the public schools have followed suit. My dads a teacher and he says it's almost impossible to fail students.. they rather just give a passing grade since every failed student means less money for the next year.

[tslechta]

More like 42:15 actually...

[tslechta]

42:18 well steve, Apple lives on!!!! ~ sent from my iPad :)

[RandallMCyborgRueff]

The idea of student vouchers sounds revolutionary.

[Bharaniyo]

energy booster interview :) thanks

[andrefariagomes]

Great Interview!

[gt198gtr]

One of the best interviews! It focuses on his philosophies, passions, and background, and not so much on the 'future of computing' etc.

[szabiakanich]

Thanks for uploading this. Fantastic interview.

[koolzhao]

If he could have taken a bit more care about his health, there would be more I's...

[trailbikerharo]

he werent an asshole.. an asshole is an asshole all the time. 

[FendyRhodes]

@trailbikerharo Wasn't*

[09088908]

a genius

[pSmall360]

0:44 Nope, I don't think he was born on planet earth

[StudentOfObjectivism]

Imagine a world in which people like Steve Jobs would enjoy school. What stands between that world and this one?

Teacher's unions.

[qtutoringhelps]

@StudentOfObjectivism

Not only unions -- it's also the government monopoly of course -- and not only that: it's the government getting its hands in educational at all!

[StudentOfObjectivism]

@qtutoringhelps Everything you said is trues, but what is the pressure group that keeps the government from letting go when rational people demand the right to direct their own children's education?

Philosophically, of course, the obstacle is altruism.

[VonManavis]

@StudentOfObjectivism

Weed. Plain grass man. Trust me. Good stuff. Stay off chemistry. Of any kind.

[VonManavis]

@qtutoringhelps

So, oh wise sage, private and public sector cannot coexist?

[qtutoringhelps]

@VonManavis

Sure, as long as you acknowledge what the "public sector" is--namely: that sector which employs the initiation of physical force to achieve its ends. You might properly call it the "coercive" sector.

[qtutoringhelps]

He's absolutely correct on schooling.

[BugleBoy2013]

The general American population is pretty mindless!

[patiencebear]

His thoughts on school are pretty dumb. Free market and schooling system? Can't go well ...

He's wining about MS and their (free market induced) behavior and keeps still saying the market is the solution for bringing up good and educated people.

[qtutoringhelps]

@patiencebear

You're an idiot. Do you think the government--the same government that runs the DMZ and the post office--could ever produce an iPhone?

[patiencebear]

@qtutoringhelps Why not? Just because you're lacking imagination doesn't mean a post man does. And in contrast to you, I don't have to become insulting. Did you parents miss the point where they had to educate you to a civilized person or are you just a 13 year old fanboy?

Just check the facts: Capitalismen is a evil artificial system which won't be there because the world won't take this shit forever. Ever wondered why there are so many poor people? Not because they don't want to work.

[Cogitatio023]

@patiencebear Capitalism is evil? okay,What economic system would you put in place of capitalism?

[patiencebear]

@Cogitatio023 That's a hard to answer in 480 chars. The core problem of capitalism is the concentration of capital. If you collected enough amount you take it out of a system which depends on circulation of money. The second problem is exponential growth of interests. So the economey theory has to address this problems. There not just one which could work but one I find most interesting is the theory of darwin dante. The problem with capitalism is: It works for us, but it kills people abroad

[qtutoringhelps]

@patiencebear

I am civilized to people who deserve civility. To you, I say: fuck off and die in a socialist paradise.

[patiencebear]

@qtutoringhelps It seems your cognitive abilities are very limited - is that the reason why are you so angry? Or is it because you live in socialist hell where the government has to save banks which are "to big to fail"?

Nevertheless, have a good day and don't suffocate on your own anger. You won't save your system by insulting random people on youtube ;-)

[WarVideo]

@qtutoringhelps DMV

[bneyens]

I love at 59:00 when Steve totally rips Microsoft.

[madachi55]

His best interview by far. Brilliant. Unlike a geek or suit he understood people, which is WHY he was an asshole. Any person with ideas who manages others, can identify with him. Getting people to do something they've never done before is really hard. Most people want to remain in status quo. Sometimes you have to be an asshole to get people to jump off the edge of their conceptual cliff. Hence, younger people are better at startups. They just jump. As Jobs said, "stay young, stay foolish."

[wendileona]

@madachi55 Geek culture is about assholery. Young people can be just as afraid to do something they haven't done. YOu're making all kinds of odd connections.

.::g

[aefg96]

@madachi55 Do you realize your last sentence makes no sense at all? He said "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish" which doesn't have much to do with what you're saying. Besides, even though I really admire Steve Jobs I know he didn't need to be such an asshole and procrastinate so much to do what he did. Imagine what Apple would be today if he would of done as told and go manage the "Apple Labs". He was a visionary and had great ideas, but there was no need at all to act how he acted with his employees.

[sathishmanohar]

@madachi55 Steve Jobs never said that, He said, "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish"

[flower1921]

I really like him. He does have lots of points!

[HullCityTigers1984]

Great vid thanks for the upload

[jcmck0320]

WOW! I've never seen Steve Jobs talk about so many things outside of computers. This was so awesome! He was so real! YA GOTTA LOVE THIS GUY!

[mattort45]

Great interview with lots of greats thoughts. Steve jobs ideas are classic but you can tell he is a complete asshole haha!! Love to listen to his ideas though, great ideas don't need to come from great people

[tanshagnes]

Steve Jobs' idea on education is good. He is a great thinker.

[dizyed]

Is his hair at the back there intentional? Damn hipster! ... haha j/k, love him always.

[BleakVision]

Change the tape...haven't heard that in long time.

[junaid1]

@BleakVision damn straight! And isn't THAT ironic in an interview with Steve Jobs. I bet people will be commenting on that 300 years from now!

[BleakVision]

Wow, just realized that Isacson wrote down large junks of this interview word for word in his bio of Steve.

[heinemannp]

somebody over at computerworld was working so hard that the video froze several times when trying to view this on their website
