  • Best Ad EVER!! Apple and Steve you're THE best

  • wow, this list is a case of dumb and dumber... Sprinkling suger on shit still tastes like shit to me. Steve Jobs legacy is orwellian. Think different, buy buy buy, consume and die...

  • @MrLawrencefinn and what have you done in this life other than criticize poorly on great world changing events? Or is that what you do?

  • @dogtownmac yr an ijit, sure he changed the world in the last ten minutes, but not really as he used the same system of mechanics and exploitation, so in fact all he did was sprinkle sugar on the oppression and all you mac disciples lick it of and say "ah, that tastes like real change".

  • @MrLawrencefinn Yer all waltzing about declaiming the genius of the fellow, and he was a terrific marketing man but don't be poncing about thinking he did anything concrete other than to add a lot of pretty, toxic, wankerphones to the landfill problems we already have.

  • @dogfoodman Sympering sycophants, always change the world, but seldom for the better... Go change the world, take the blindfold off, have a real look at what is going on in tthe factories... Jsut because you have a pretty looking new toy that makes you feel like capt Kirk, don't expect any discerning person to think thats revolutionary...

  • Damn, my hairs are ready to fly away from my body

  • LIKE THIS IF U LIKED THIS COMMENT

  • @themangodess you're a fucking idiot. Go die.

  • iThink the 14,078+ of us who clicked the like button...will change the world for the 90+ that clicked the other button...

  • R.I.P. Steve Jobs

  • Where did you find this!

  • I love this add! You can tell Steve was back at apple!

  • Omg, lol data like so touching!!! :D

  • @stayXbrutal78 You somewhere else, nincompoop

  • Steve Job's asian assistants created the products, not him...

    MICROSOFT FTW!

  • @stayXbrutal78 So do Microsoft's Asian assistants. You see, FoxConn and other companies like them in China, Thailand and other such places do most of the manufacturing for practically all the consumer products we have nowadays. The American job market isn't structured anymore so that they could manufacture everything, even a significant amount of their stuff, in the States. And it has very little to do with salaries. Read the NYT article about this from 23 January.

  • The First im doing EVERY DAY is listening to this and it never gets old. RIP Steve Jobs, without whom i would not be able to comment this and would not be able to do so much more. The guy that went infinity and beyond.

  • I love this video :)

  • Beautiful........ Thinking of you today, Steve. Wanted to hear YOUR voice.

  • Bill Gates failed to match the elegance and simplicity of Apple's software, but to his credit, he started the Gates Foundation, which has had a huge impact on fighting AIDS, among other causes. That's why it's odd to me that Jobs positioned himself next to self-sacrificing heroes like King and Gandhi. Jobs was fond of insulting Gates, implying he was unenlightened, yet Gates gave away hundreds of millions. Where is the "Steve Jobs Foundation?"

  • @FreakyBornWings2 Let me ask you this. How do you know if he did or didn't? Steve Jobs wasn't about getting self recognition for things. In fact the ones who make a true difference don't ask for credit, they just do. Jobs pretty much gave his life to give us these tools to create, solve problems, invoke inspiration, and to push the human condition. If you fail to see that, than you clearly don't understand the incredible ripple Jobs has bestow unto us all.

  • @dogtownmac Thanks for the reply, Dogtown. I'm a professional with 2 pro Mac laptops and an iPhone. They are fantastic products. Jobs was a brilliant leader for Apple. I just don't see him as a saint, and it's fine if you do. He was a visionary CEO and fought his way to the top by providing valuable solutions (as opposed to some CEOs who are mere parasites inserting themselves between people and their needs). Maybe we can celebrate his achievements without acting like he's Jesus.

  • @dogtownmac It's also weird that he attacked Android for copying the iPhone. I mean, look at the old Handspring Visor! Look at the Palm Treo! Both came long before the iPhone.

  • Comment removed

  • Steve Jobs made the best products, but many of Apple's best concepts were stolen. The Mac OS graphic user interface copied work by Xerox labs, the app concept came from the Palm Pilot (available in 1997, 10 years before iPhone), the iPhone design copied the Handspring Visor (released 1999), and Handspring/Palm Treo, the first smartphone came out 10 years before iPhone. Palm owners laughed when Apple trumpeted the iPhone's "new" clipboard feature because others had been doing it for years.

  • @FreakyBornWings2 typo - meant to say "first smartphone came out 5 years before iPhone"

  • @FreakyBornWings2 Apple didn't steal from Xerox. Apple paid Xerox just to view the Alto. Apple had no access to their code, and then Xerox invested in Apple. Microsoft stole from Mac when Steve Jobs gave Gates Mac actual prototypes. Big Difference. You totally forget the Apple Newton which pre-dates the Palm and Apps by four years. Palm influences was completely taken from Newton.

  • @dogtownmac Sure. And Newton built on the Psion. That's the point I'm making. Technology most often builds on what came before, it's a beautiful process that involves many minds. Apple built on Xerox, Microsoft built on Apple, Android built on iPhone. But with so many influences Jobs obviously drew from, why did he attack Android for building on the iPhone?

  • @FreakyBornWings2 I would be pissed if the person I entrusted and shared secrets to went around my back and ripped me off. Eric Schmidt was on the board of Apple during the development of the iPhone. He saw everything early and during this time Eric Schmidt shifted gears for Android to mimic the iPhone. Complete, yet poor, rip off. Yeah I would be pissed too!

  • @FreakyBornWings2 thank you for your insight, please keep correcting and making people aware. I have great respect for apple / steve jobs but the truth is more important. with that said i love this AD The Crazy Ones

  • @BrooklynNYC777 Agreed. It's a cool ad, and Jobs was an extremely impressive once-in-a-generation kind of guy, who seems to have regularly kept a step or 10 ahead. But I think we can do his memory and achievements (and ourselves) the most justice by being faithful to the truth. Jobs himself wasn't much for sacred cows, by all accounts, and don't know if he'd appreciate being made into one. But inspiring in a great many ways nonetheless.

  • @FreakyBornWings2 Most things aren't "original" per se, especially when one talks about technicalities and specs. But the idea of the iPhone, what it stood for, was refreshing to most. There's a reason why the iPhone has one of the, if not biggest market shares with regards to smart phones, and Palm devices are nowhere.

  • @fjpinon Just curious, what does the iPhone stand for, in your world?

  • Never fails to bring a tear to my eye.

  • Fascinating.

  • Rest in peace you crazy genius.

  • R.I.P Mr. Jobs. A.K.A "The Crazy One"

  • Thank you for posting this. I tried to trade in my "craziness" for popularity back in high school. In the end it didn't work. While I did have good grades then, I should have focused entirely on my studies, reading books, and trying to understand my teachers better instead of trying to impress the "beautiful people." It would have made all the difference. Steve Jobs, MLK, Albert Einstien, Ali, and all the other "crazy ones": they were right.

  • RIP Steve. This video applys very well with Ron Paul. Think Different. Ron Paul 2012

  • Comment removed

  • Beautiful ad.

    ...now if only Apple would stood by the ideologies of some of these great people and called out SOPA for the tyrannical internet censorship bill it is.

  • amazing!!!!! a amazing quote to remember an amazing person :)

  • O U T S T A N D I N G

  • Hearing his voice makes me happy. We miss you Steve. Thank you. 

  • Steve we miss you!!!

  • Words can not explain how much I'll miss Steve .!!!:(

  • This gives me goosebumps evry time! RIP Steve Jobs :(

  • Just other voice, about Apple and the "Think Different" Ad. Apple, as Silicon Valley, is a "state of Mind". You always stay focus in your creation or your work in a unique and fashion mode. Think Different still is, at the deep of Apple, a goal for excellence. Steve, was the ultimate perfectionist.

  • who's at 0:21 ?!

  • @puneet256 Richard Buckminster Fuller

  • Think Different... 

  • Steve Jobs made it possible to choose Charlie Chaplin vs Edgar Hoover... read more at healthquiz (dot) wordpress

  • MASSIVE FAIL no Nikola Tesla! WTF "It is a little known fact that Nikola Tesla is the acknowledged inventor of the electronic AND logic gate circuit, a critical element of every digital computer."

  • Comment removed

  • this makes me cry

  • @ applemaciphone, how you do that!! Show me

  • Did they really just take every popular person they could think of, and used them for marketing? How fucking douchey. I'm sure half of the people in the commercial wouldn't have agreed on being in a commercial

  • @Argon165 Why would that be douchy? If anything it is making the people in the commercial more known because of the publicity.

  • Just like Ron Paul is said to be crazy.

  • It would be nice if Apple ran the Think different campaign again, at least for the year. So Apple remembers why they are there to begin with. MORE than ever they will have to double their efforts to continue to push themselves further. Just because Steve is gone doesn't mean you get a break. No it means you really GOT TO STEP UP!

  • @dogtownmac Totally agree, and I think they are currently doing very well. RIP Steve...

  • @dogtownmac Actually, they ran this version, with Steve narrating, for the first time in public, at the memorial at 1 Infinite Loop. 

  • @kiwehtin Yeah I know. Apple asked for the audio on this from me. Tim Cook first saw it a few days after Steve's passing. This video was referenced by Forbes, Newsweek, NBC, CBS, Justin Bieber and countless others. However it never aired officially. It would be nice for them to air a newer version of this. Maybe they will on Steve's Birthday coming up next month.

  • @dogtownmac Ah, thanks for this nugget! How did you get hold of this? It would be fascinating to know this little bit of Apple history...

  • 100% marketing... 

  • @MrLawrencefinn It is an ad! Have you ever seen an ad that was not marketing?

  • @Farthen08 indeed but I've seldom seen an ad used to canonise a person, and my point is/was the same. From Microserfs to the applecultists, it kind of makes me shudder watching people line up to be in his or any club club, without insight or foresight, declaiming his granduer and extolling his many faceted sagacity.

    Don't be harsh on me, let history judge him and in the mean time leave him to decompose peacefully...

  • @MrLawrencefinn huh??? Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, and it's obvious on your 'clear as mud' post, you are NOT!

  • @SJ4EV3R smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/25­0000-roadster-proof-of-steve-j­obs-genius-20120109-1pr4x.html

    clearly just another dead yuppy consumer with a bunch of sycophants crawling over his bones chanting "think different" and in fact they are not...

    as you know nothing at all about my life or my work I'll ignore your personal comments... I refer you to the Bauhaus should you ever decide that you would like to begin to understand the difference between style and marketing.

  • @MrLawrencefinn again, again....you do NOT make any sense...are you dyslexic?

    Here’s to the simple, yet undeniable TRUTH:

    As SJ said "simplicity is the ULTIMATE sophistication":

    APPLE'S INSANELY GREAT QUALITY TRUMPS PC/ANDROID MEDIOCRITY!

  • Gives me chills.

  • Here’s to the crazy ones... 

  • The next Mac expo needs to open up with this in a bad, bad way. Either that, or they need to run it during the Superbowl. It has great emotional pull.

  • So sad :( but has so much meaning! <3

  • I miss Steve Jobs

  • Very powerful.

  • It's amazing. I cannot describe the feeling this video has on me. This text read by Steve takes a whole new dimension, instead of listening to a guy paid to read a text, we're listening to a genius trying to inspire a whole generation. I'm proud to think differently, R.I.P. Steve.

  • Steve Jobs you indeed put a dent on the universe, I like many other iFans will forever miss you. May you RiP.

  • I love this poor Steve he died on my b-day:(

  • Jobs was cool and all, but he had a huge ego, and everything he did, he did for money.

  • @DarthStormer90 have you read his book? ur thinking like sculley, not jobs. if he just wanted to made money, then why did he spend so much money on packaging and expensive glass and cases and making the internal parts of each product perfect even when the consumers are never going to see it? because he cares about the product and the users. not money. seriously. read his book. and plz don't be so quick to judge. he was a great guy and the world would be severely lacking if he hadn't lived.

  • It's trully amazing that just a few homosapiens out of billions can change our lives and the history of mankind.

  • Who's the guy (the trouble maker as he described in the video ) who showed up at 0:10 ???

  • @AbdullahChannel1990

    Martin Luther King Jr

  • @macsrule101 thx

  • It made me super happy to see Maria Callas in this video.

  • Still gives me the shivers.

  • Tears , what a great man he was.

  • Some of the most remarkable things that happend in durning Steve's 2nd coming were between 1998-2003. Ya some of the stuff they produced since then is okay, but Apple Computer from that era will always be the time when Think Different was truly the mission and goal.

  • @insaneiaq 1998 to now is incredible in my book. Let's not forget the AppStore. That alone has transformed and made a new economy overnight.  One of the greatest invented features of iOS and now Mac OS X. Of course everyone else has to rush to copy it. The radical pace Apple operates is awesome. They need to keep that pace. It brings excitement and it does push the industry forward. Now I want Apple to invent wireless charging for my devices. What a pain to plug in everywhere LOL.

  • @dogtownmac As for wireless power transmission, this technology was pioneered by one of, if not the greatest physicist ever to grace the plant, Nikola Tesla, well over 100 years ago. Major industrialist and government leaders caught onto Tesla's plans to wirelessly transmit power- they feared that they could not effectively monitor and tax wireless energy transmission- so in response they had Telsa's works, laboratories, plans destroy and public status tarnished in fear of Tesla's pure genius.

  • @dogtownmac If anybody could invent that Steve could

  • @dogtownmac Wireless charging is nothing new. You'll find it in a lot of device that aren't Apple

  • @insaneiaq yeah - he discovered the adult industry an co-opted all their business models and technology and sat back while everyone called him the "man that changed the world" while happily forgetting the slave labour cities he established and the misery he brought forth for his own personal gain. What a great example of humanity

  • @insaneiaq The building blocks were created, including the business model of course. But the best products by far have been since 2003, as the company's fortunes very clearly show the business model began to bear fruit. In 2003 Apple's stock price was stuck at $6-7. It's hovering just below $400 now! This has been achieved by moving away from niche markets, & designing scalable devices. So the crucial dates are: October 23, 2001, April 28, 2003, January 9, 2007 March 6, 2008, January 27, 2010.

  • 79 morons dislikes... WHAT???!!!??? Probably the truth!

  • My birthday to

  • 79 people are not crazy

  • Steve passed away on my birthday!

  • He still pushes the human race forward even after he passed away...

  • Now every time I see this it makes me cry

  • One of the crazy ones and proud!

  • Brilliant ad, but mixed feelings about Job's contribution to changing the world. He certainly improved the lives of those who could afford Apple technology while at the same time, he turned a blind eye to the terrible working conditions of those who built it at Foxconn. Watch "Keen On... Mike Daisey: Why Mike is No Longer an Apple Fanbo" if you don't know the whole story.

  • @LorenzoNW Totally agree with you. I don't think you can put Steve in the same category as the people in the ad obviously .

  • @xmuneebx The ad was never designed to put Jobs in the same category. More about creating an association between those owning Apple products and a creative, independent spirit. Great branding, much in the same way that Nike will advertise their products by featuring superstar athletes. Of course, neither will make you into a Wong Kar-Wai or Yuna Kim. lol

  • @LorenzoNW But the fact is that steve did think of himself as one of the crazy ones. He often stereotyped himself as a misfit, hence he claimed that he had a special connectivity with his 2nd girlfriend, who was a misfit as well. The main point of the ad stands alone: Those who are crazy enough to believe they can change the world, are often the ones who do. Now that's a truth

  • @LorenzoNW well said!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @LorenzoNW He changed phones forever, computers forever, bringing them into the hands of consumers, and the corporate culture forever. Despite what some think, i do believe he saved the music industry too. Piracy was uncontrollable before the iTunes store. I saw Mike Daisey's play, it was excellent, but he didn't cause the expansion of chinese labor. More then anything it's savvy Chinese business men and desperate people looking for work in China. I think they should rerun the ad with Steve now.

  • @TheIntekTV Please correct me if I'm wrong, but are you says that Steve Jobs had no say or control over Foxconn's treatment of their workers?

  • @LorenzoNW amazing how song many sing his virtues while ignoring or being completely ignorant to his crimes against humanity. The world is not better fot the iPhone and SmartPhones - only more controlled and monitored and the world calls him great for his suck-hole compliance with those that seek to control and rob us all of our liberty. Ignorance MUST be bliss.................not

  • I did not know it was possible to feel such happiness but yet be crying at the same time. Steve talked of the purity in objects and how they elicit emotional responses. This is the purest thing I have ever seen, thank you Steve.

  • We miss U! Steve "The crazy one"

  • Best minute of audio ever recorded. Brought a tear to my eye.

  • Thumbs up if you are listening to this more than one times, mesmerized just by that voice.

    iMiss you Steven P Jobs. iSad.

  • Rest in Peace Steve. Thank you for everything.

  • TESLA is not included. :( :( :(

  • I respect steve but never would I have been friends with him.

  • Goodbye:(

  • The Jobs version is much better than the Dreyfuss version--although I'm a Dreyfuss fan.

  • I had never seen either version. This one is brilliant & very moving, especially seeing it now that Steve is gone & certified by most as a creative genius, not unlike Einstein & the others!!

  • Oh Steve who ?

  • I want the audio to this, can you send it to me please...

  • They should make this the new apple advert in tribute of Steve Jobs death

  • RIP Steve Jobs, the man who saw differently, the genius.

  • So amazing they included Maria Callas in the video!

  • stop discussing two different people please.

  • For me, it was his passion. He wanted to be great, and he wanted to do something great. The majority of people don't care about their life's work. They simply care about the quickest way to make a buck. Imagine if someone was so passionate about fixing the alternative fuel crisis or coming up with a solution that fixed health care. Someone that came up with a solution that helped every country. Instead, we get CEOs that are motivated by money and political leaders that succumb to lobbyists.

  • Ich hoffe, da wo er jz ist kann er die Menschen genauso begeistern wie er uns auf der Erde begeistert hat!!! R.I.P. Steve

  • WHY ARE PEOPLE FIGHTING? Both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are great people :) Its such a shame that humans must always start arguments -___-

  • You Will be missed so much. I get sad every time i watch this

  • Thanks Steve R.I.P.

    1955-2011

  • I listen to this every morning to keep believing and stay focussed :-) i also printed the sentence out and put it on a wall in my bedroom. Thanks Steve.

  • @GapToN I think you fail to see why Steve Jobs was important to humanity. His ability to bring us these technological marvels and foresight, to look WAY ahead into the future has created a thousand ripples far and wide that helped improve lives. One example is bioscience to decode our DNA structure to help cure diseases. Jobs innovations by providing these tools made that possible. iTunes U is another noble endeavor. He gave everyone World Class Education for FREE! We can all sit in at Harvard

  • @dogtownmac Can I get more information to the story where Steve's technology helped researched in medicine? I didn't know about iTunes U either. Look, Steve is great, he is one of a kind, no doubt about that. I am only saying, if I have to choose between life-saving and life-improving, I must say life-saving, especially the population that is often ignored by the developed world, is more important.

  • @GapToN

    Bono, of U2 fame recently defended Jobs, saying he an dApple were Project Reds biggest contributers, Project Red is attempting to eliminate Aids. I don't think Jobs at this point wanted the attention for his donations.

  • @GapToN You can learn about iTunes U here: apple.com/education/itunes-u/ . After which you can visit the dedicated site on Apple and Science, featuring predominate leaders/institutions advancing knowledge in science, and why OS X/iPad has become a leading platform in this industry. apple.com/science/profiles/ If you continue to think that Steve Jobs was only about Products, than I am sorry you really ARE missing it.

  • @dogtownmac he didn't look into the future. The adult industry had touch screen porn booth long before the iPhone but of course - its easier to call him a genius like the rest of the sheeple :P

  • @dogtownmac I thought that it was Kary Mullis who invented the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that led to the decoding of the human genome. Can you tell me what Job's role in that was?

  • @FreakyBornWings2 You simply don't understand. This video is about significance in human achievements and these are the heroes that Apple looks up to for influence when producing, inventing or innovating their products, so that we can create, discover something great.

  • @GapToN

    I aggre, BUT!!! Steve jobs is a part of all of our lives!!! He changed the way we all live.

    BILL GATES went to jail 30 years ago!!! FOR SPEEDING. he is only donating money to get all the apple fans back to Microsoft!!!!

  • @thebeatbeast01 Why would Apple fans start using Windows because Bill is developing a malaria vaccine or toilet 2.0? It's completely irrelevant. I love Gates. He's borderline Asperger's, like me, and he's all about the code--1337 to the core. But it doesn't mean I'll start installing Windows! And Gates is out of MS. What he cares about now is the Gates Foundation, and he cares about that because it's the right thing to do, NOT because Mac users will move to Windows if Bill fights poverty.

  • @GapToN Steve also has a charitable foundation, since his early days at Apple. You don't have to make a lot of noise when you do good, you can just do it because it's the right thing to do. Bill doesn't focus on his charity either, but Bill has so much money it's hard not to notice.

  • I love this video. It says it all. Cool

  • Steve was the man who was crazy enough to think he could change the world. And he did just that. RIP Steve.

  • he was so adorable

  • Only the good die young 'Brian May/Roger Taylor'

  • For those who thing this commercial was aimed at consumers in the 90's are wrong, this ad was for apple employees who at the time were making crap, Steve wrote the crazy ones for them asking them to think different, so those who thing they should not by an apple product " thinking differently " you can buy 'em :P

  • Damn, is this video moving or what ? Much better in Steve's voice, may he rest in peace.

  • I always get goose pimples when I watch this. It is even better with Steve's voice.

  • This video with Steve's voice on it moves me from ok to tears every time I've heard it since Steve passed away. It's so powerful. Steve has indeed earned his place in the video itself. May he rest in peace.

  • Was Steve Jobs tough? Of course. Is a winning football coach tough? Of course. Greatness never comes from being easy.

  • I'd like to ask about the music score's author, anyone fancy sharing his/her knowledge about it. Thank in advance.

  • Bill Gates gives fish. Steve Jobs teaches how to fish.

  • Wow

    

  • Think different. Buy an iPhone, like everyone else...

  • @Sannhetensprofet This was 10 years ago when buying an apple product was considered different.

  • @Sannhetensprofet or a 12MP Nokia N8 wit Sybian!

  • @krustyloaf

    He did to some charity work but that's irrelevant. A person's character isn't based on the amount they donate to the poor. How much have you donated this year?

  • @roadcykler62 Without Steve Jobs would we have the progress we have today? I am not just referencing just technology. His ability to simplify the complicated aspects of tech, made people great to do great things, thus the ripple effect of his impact onto the world. Henry Ford didn't invent the auto, but Henry Ford transformed transportation, spurred off new industries, help build up a middle class, access was his gift. Thomas Edison didn't invent the light bulb, but he made it better...more

  • @dogtownmac And just as Edison didn't invent the lightbulb we associate with him, but his was the important contribution, Jobs didn't invent the music player, the smartphone, or the tablet computer. But his innovations in this area changed the world. If you don't think the iPod, iPhone and iPad changed medicine or science or education or business, you aren't paying attention. Steve really belongs in the class with those geniuses in his Think Different commercial.

  • @roadcykler62 without Steve Jobs you wouldn't be able to watch that video. ;D

  • @roadcykler62

    Too early to tell. After hundreds of year we tend to see pioneers as gods. Im curious how we see Steve in like 50 years and what will change because of this spirit in the following years. Inspired by the user experience of Apple devices, engineers in a lot of fields pay a little bit more attention to usability. I see it in my non IT work environment every day.

  • @roadcykler62 He was most definitely among the most famous, that much is inarguable, and it's arguable that his genius was equal as well. And iPod, iPhone and iPad most certainly are important tools in medicine and science. Calling people fanboys doesn't make you right.

  • @roadcykler62 Totally agree with you. Man, Steve Jobs was a hard ass aggressive napolean who had the world bend to his will whether they liked it or not

  • Apple Forever!! :D

  • Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

  • R.I.P. Steve Jobs.
