Tablet Newspaper (1994)

[pochopaz7381]

2:51 that will NEVER happen!

[earthbound1001]

why are they poking it with a stick?

[furQ]

7:12 How on earth does that look like anything like an iPad?

[AbductionFailed]

jobs was only a wise guy

[Fangfur]

It's nothing like the iPad, it has flash!

[trapmoney731]

@Fangfur Lmao!!!

[jzatroch2]

Knight-Ridder was a visionary company. I worked for the Miami Herald in 1984, installing "Viewtron", which was an internet/BBS type browser many years before the World Wide Web was invented.

[arfer]

Apple have never really invented anything big. What they do is consumerize and market things that only geeks were into before.

[jzatroch2]

@arfer What an obvious insight! Thomas Edison is considered the greatest American inventor, but most of his inventions were actually discovered by workers in his labs slaving away in anonymity while he got all the credit. So what is new to human behaviour???

[sagat4]

If anything everybody should pay Knight Rider royalty for every tablet sold and Apple should drop all their silly laswuits

[philwright0077]

I bet apple will now claim back to the future was their idea go back as mcfly and sue this guy and the makers of star trek anyway now mr Jobs isnt at the helm you watch as apple fail like they always have without him

[ryandward]

Why does this look more like the 80s than the 90s?

[Flyberius]

@ryandward Agreed. Their hair dos aren't right. Where is the hair gel?

[DreddDwarf]

But it's got rounded corners.

I though Apple invented that.

[pow1983]

@DreddDwarf Apple would have you believe they invented the apple

[DreddDwarf]

@pow1983

When in reality Jobs himself admitted on camera that Apple rip off ideas.

(posted on here, can't be arsed to look it up)

[furQ]

@DreddDwarf the difference between invention and innovation is execution.

Also the sky is green (i read it somewhere once, can't be bothered to look it up)

[jestersbro1]

Prior art ghost of Mr Jobs, prior art.

[mniranjan08]

another blow to Apple today in the Dutch court where this video was used as an evidence!

[tonkerkers]

Where are the ads ;-)

[azo9360]

Old days

[dekoomers]

thumb up if your watching this on a tablet

[Sungkawa]

Apple claimed to have invented the technology since it has been on sale since the late 80's and on experimental use for military purposes since the 1980's apple latter claimed tohave improved it, the thing they did was make it affordable for the public

[endrightwinglunacy]

Wow, this is truly incredible. Way ahead of its time. The only question is, did the technology actually work, or are we looking at an animation on the screen? I certainly looks like the video on the sports story was a mock up.

[cburris99]

I'm pretty sure they are infringing on 5 or 6 Apple patents. Perhaps they can go back in time and sue them.

[podivan22]

16 iSheeps

[highlanderc]

This was all done 13 years after this concept??? WOW!

[IsaacMaganaMusic]

"We may still use computers to create informatión but we'll use the tablet to interact with information"

[sigaelmar004]

Cool, it even has a male Siri, 11:00

[number890315435100]

funny how the first two top points at 6:59 are still about the same countries as todays news.

[drandydds]

So who is the copy cat now Apple??

[yenayeun]

Knight Ridder must sue Apple and will make billions dollars. The real copy cat is Jobs ...

[TheBazooka120]

iPhone 3GS or Samsung Galaxy S Plus

[nemea101]

& the delusional Apple fanboys still think that Apple copying this Knight Ridder Design & other numerous prior art & patenting it & later banning all others from making any rounded edge thin streamlined tablet is ethical & right..... Sick in the mind. No wonder Apple lost every single one of their design related design claim in the Dutch court when they tried to ban the Samsung tab in Netherlands. You can be a Apple ower like me, but you don't have to be a Apple fanboy & be delusional.

[benzwable]

That portrait mode CRT display looks really cool... :)

[torokun]

Is that Bud Bundy? 

[snooters]

I googled Roger Fidler, and he's still doing what he's doing. He was so on target.

[Skaldicgoth]

this looks like a fake

[0x12d3]

6:04 that was a sick throw

[cadenconnolly]

Can you watch porn on it?

[blehssed]

Apple is getting its lawyers ready they are suing for previously inventing products that infringement of their current Patents.

[OChristFollower]

@blehssed funnny

[milesgti]

Ya, well they didn't execute the idea.

[gauravk88]

Apple go to hell !!!

[zubiac]

I knew it: Steven spielberg invented the tablet

[Pogodrop]

All intelligent people know that apple sucks!

[kinmanyuen]

FU apple, lets sew them

[idofattal]

its all about luck or lack of it

[mansetresa]

Another contest: goo.gl\QyzJ5 - iPad 2.

[bitswapper]

>People like advertising.

Oh really.

[paddi241]

And Apple sues Samsung. They should be sueing Apple

[TubeBillionaire]

SUE APPLES ASS !!!!

[cantorock]

06:59 check out the headlines

The more things change, the more they stay the same

[blutherz2001]

@cantorock hm have we since 1990 perhaps a timeloop :D

waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

[kronicred]

clairvoyant, dare i say... prescient? (did he just say that?)

[PhilE]

FUCK APPLE (says the random angry internet commenter)

[thebayareapimp]

YOU FUCKING IGNORANT RETARDS. APPLE NEVER CLAIMED TO MAKE THE FIRST TABLET THEY CLAIMED TO MAKE THE BEST MOST USER FRIENDLY ONE... GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT NERDS!

[dvoon]

00:52 A Duo in-dock with an A4 display? Ah....magic.

[JulianG75]

11:08 "and, you can get your news anywhere..."

[JulianG75]

9:05 "plus, people like advertising" ha ha! yeah right!

[smarteinstein]

The german court should be shown this!

[romanmir01]

And Apple has the audacity to accuse Samsung of 'stealing' their ideas for this?

[j1400]

There's no limit to what the haters will accuse Apple of doing. There is NOTHING in this video that Apple may have claimed as their invention. This tablet looks more like the web on a PC tablet than anything else. The tablet as described here flopped big time. That's why every other manufacturer and their dog is copying Apple's approach. Really, this is about a creative group of people defending their original improvements on an old idea, and if they fail, what's the hope for the little guy?

[smarteinstein]

@j1400 The victors shall write History

exactly what apples doing.

false propoganda.

jus like korea who thinks their leader made hamburger.

original? if i was asked to make a tab, i would go for that!

And the guy below. we are talking about the effin hardware. go grow some brains and comeback. nutjob. i aint on anybodys side.

[BarnsRenn]

Even that Tablat plays FLASH!!! :D HAHA

[underactive73]

@BarnsRenn Yes, because it's easier to wrap a video in a Flash container and serve an FLV file, rather than serve the video file itself. Take that back... considering the age of this video, Flash would be cutting edge.

[taoyizhi]

@BarnsRenn thats the reason why flash is out-of-date.

[CometLol]

@BarnsRenn

Adobe just announced it's killing its Flash platform...

HTML5 is the future

[Supergurke]

@CometLol Only for mobile devices.

[hpnhansen]

well, this is cool, but don't forget that Apple actually did launch their first tablet already in 1979, then the Newton was launched in 1993... as a newspaper or not, they did call it a tablet :)

[dubtafoo]

@hpnhansen Apple did NOT launch a tablet in 1979. The GRiDPAD was the first touchscreen tablet and it was invented by GRiD Systems Corporation in 1989. It was very expensive and it didn't sell well .. but it spawned the idea.

[DaMiaNNL]

And Apple dares to sue Samsung for copying ideas?

[wangchengdr]

Steve Jobs is Chinese?

[ferdiehernandez]

Ang galing, nakakatuwang meron na silang ideya ng produkto bago pa magkaroon ng tunay na kakayanang gawin ito.

[jbruder]

mediamorphosis? gas-bag.

[HuiJooHwee]

the vid just make 1990s feels like stone age.

ironically how simple & natural the idea may sound today, it took 10++ years to get it mainstream.

[sklis1973]

Ciekawie zrobiony film na podstawie jedynie pomysłu pokazanego przez jednego człowieka jednak nie mamy pewności z jakiego okresu całość lub części filmu pochodzą. Wszystko po to by zdyskredytować Apple to że sami wymyślili niewiele i kupują firmy które wymyśliły coś innowacyjnego, cóż jeśli nie oni to ktoś inny, po prostu apple się nie boi wprowadzić coś innego. Dla przykładu wiele ciekawych pomysłów wychodziło z różnych firm ale tylko Apple potrafi zrobić taki marketing że sam zapragniesz.

[mattyohe]

Fuck Apple? Fuck these guys!

My grandpa invented this when he once said "One of these days we won't even need paper to read the news, you'll just read it off a handheld television box."

[7anoony]

at 06:59 it is so ironic that when this tablet was being thought up, the top 2 headlines are so similar to recent headlines. Pretty sad too...

[yuhcgte]

the truth is that all this technology was always there, but WE as in normal people had no access to it, its when THEY decide, just like right now, there are devices such as SIXTH SENSE and stuff, but we dont have it. if you look at japan and their tech, they are far more advanced then north america, its the government that wants to control all, cuz if we have the best tech in our hand, we may beat the government or maybe catch their lies....

[hobbiz]

@yuhcgte

sure, and how exactly do they keep thousands of peoples to keep their mouths shut? If you really believe that, why don't you get a job in one of those companies, and share the information?

[yuhcgte]

@hobbiz even if i was QUALIFIED enough to get a job in one of those comapnies, they wouldnt let me leak out the info, they would either have me arrested or killed... maybe m exagerating on killing part,, but they will have me arrested for sure.

[hobbiz]

@yuhcgte

Exactly, you are not qualified, so you don't really know how far the technology have come or not. What about those who work in other countries? Same policy there?

So you think thousands of people through many decades have kept their mouth shut because of fear from beeing arrested?

I could tell you that i work with technology, and what you are saying are false.. but you wouldnt believe me anyway, would you?

[yuhcgte]

@hobbiz no i dont agree or believe you... cuz we all know that technology improves by seconds, but north america only get selective tech or what is approved by who ever controls that department.. china and japan are far more advanced.. and if they can have or manufactrure that kind of tech so can north america. thats all m saying, and m sure there are geniuses out there but again its THEM who wouldnt let us have the advanced technology

[areacable]

The part they didn't predict is the downfall of newspapers. I guess they assumed the newspaper industry would embrace technology. Wrong!

[JAUSCR]

Well, apple steal his idea, no doubt

[gnexus01]

Why did it take them 16 years to come get to the point where we are now with Tablet pc computers ?

[MonsterAir6]

Look at those peice of shit computers lol anyways you guys a nerd raging little bitches shutup who cares. You guys make it seem like its apple versus the world or something if you dont want apple to be so good dont buy there shit maybe u idiots should go riot and rob a apple store and break it that you do right? the reason they are so fast is cuz they did not even a quarter of what the tablets do now adays....

[123fe2]

@MonsterAir6 I think we all agree YOU are the piece of shit, you insult "nerds" yet you're on a computer , which a "nerd" helped create, you're a waste, probably fat, and should probably continue fucking your mother you useless piece of shit.

[MonsterAir6]

@123fe2 You guys take this shit way to seriously. Actually im really fit and yea im on a imac nerd isnt always a bad thing... you just made urself seem like a big joke

[arashn89]

i cant believe 17 years ago the tablet they had was so fast, even faster than my FAIL of Ipad 2

[briandrum1]

@arashn89 All of the images are superimposed onto a blank screen...

[mitsri1991]

13 mins of explaning an app on an Ipad, Science is really progressing .

It is progressing exponentially...

[violadude]

I have no interest in interacting with advertisers....I am usually looking for a way to bypass them

[violadude]

Boy, were they wrong about pads.....no! I mean ads!!!

[hevok2009]

9:08 "people like advertisement" - bullshit - sounds like brainwashing to me :)

[xray174]

apple sucks

[mattyohe]

uh, the iPad doesn't have a stylus.

[alexfnoble]

@mattyohe The first touch screen was a capacitive touch screen developed by E.A. Johnson at the Royal Radar Establishment, Malvern, UK. in 1965

[Octamed]

@mattyohe because stylus (resistive) screens are much cheaper to make. Apple used capactive touch screens because they'd finally become cheap enough to include. Everyone knew touch screens were an obvious idea.

[mooo13]

wheres your god now, apple fanpussy??

[kahara00]

To the commentardiat: succesful troll is succesful.

[basketballfrogy]

Steve Jobs saw this video 2 years ago :)

[drwhowho]

F U APPLE

[cmangy]

Why u all so mad, bros?

[xenover]

Think different my ass. Who stole the idea now, bit*h?

[MrShinsters]

Star Trek had 'tablets' in the 60s. Called PADDs too ;)

Microsoft released their stylus version of XP in 2003 called XP Tablet Edition, but the problem is that a conventional user interface designed from the ground up to be used by a keyboard and mouse just didn't work well on a tablet formfactor.

The iPad is successful because it was the first major attempt by a large company to make a OS designed to be operated by the use of mulitouch gestures and had a UI optimised for these interactions.

[zdavid2009]

it was incredibly easy to "invent" the idea of the tablet...much-much harder to build a tablet that actually has sufficient hardware, and decent UI

[NoNotALaughingMatter]

NewsPapers will always be popular on Paint-the-Kitchen day, to save spills on the floorboards.

[rhcp500]

the fuck is a technologist?

[npotkin]

@rhcp500 A technologist is somebody who can say "mediamorphosis" with a straight face.

[gpmoo7]

Suck it Apple!

You can put your patents in your *** !

[Adriensteamboy]

00:25 jodie foster and 00:37 steven spielberg were talking about a movie project about the future, and these tablets are just the accessories they are brainstorming

[idkmybffjv]

Pff, using a tablet to get news from around the world. I'm using a tablet to leave this stupid comment on Youtube.

[sendungmitdermaus]

Apple never claimed to make the first tablet computer. Fanboys who think so are stupid. People who believe Apple fanboys think so are stupid. Tablets are here for over a decade. With the iPad Apple showed (as with the iPod and iPad) how it should be done. That's all.

[sshky20]

real copycat = Apple

[sshky20]

according to apple's logic ,If someone create the wheel in circle ,other person should make the wheel in square?, TV Frame should be circle?

someone make glasses in transparent ,others make it in opague?

also book should be Stars ,oval ,triangle?

Likewise

galaxy screen should be Lumpy?

when turn on power, display should be black?

display(Tv monitor, mp3...) should be located in corner? Don't do deterrence

Do not privatize public assets

[noubeau1011]

Apple and Steve.... If you are really a good company and smart, compete with your rivals in the MARKET, not in the COURT.

[sprlnr]

True copy machine cheeky Steve will sue all grocery stores not to sell apple.

[calvinskim]

Well, you can't wrap fish with it nor wipe your ass.

[noubeau1011]

Apple,  please don't copy others...Shame on you.

[noubeau1011]

Dirty Apple. Steve argues everything is what he invented. Crazy guy.

A Real Copy Cat=Apple.

[ShafakCool]

SUE APPLE!

[alexthekidd04]

Amazing insight they had!

[pocketfudgy]

Watching this on my iPad is kind of a weird experience.....

[Bob8199]

This video is a testament to Steve Jobs' greatness. Anyone can have a revolutionary idea, but to change the world with that idea takes genius.

[enolagay00]

@Bob8199

He is not an innovator. He is an imitator.

[VideoJargon]

That man is so ahead of his time, it's crazy

[darrenmaharaj]

Hoax !! There was no developer 3G or wireless to access such info flow!!!

[rch456789]

I don't want to take sides yet.. to me both Apple and Samsung seem very dirty.

BUT how legit is this stuff?

[ozia]

wow how bizzare

[hanss71]

Now, I don't want to buy any Apple product. I agree that Apple's products have been very innovative, but the law suits against tablet PC makers (e.g. Samsung and Motorola) makes no sense at all. It is just a stupid efforts to maintain its market dominance.

[kikijang]

Creative Apple?

 Crystal's imitation hahahaha

[astral197]

아이패드인 줄 아랏네 ㅡㅡ; 너고소!

[iam21111]

And hey , all the rounded square-tablets are Apple's !!!

[SneakerRock]

lets see what the german court has to day about the lawsuit between apple and samsung. according to apple, samsung galaxy tab copied ipad's design. but it looks like apple did copy the table design as well.

[TheKilerMan755]

Fuck Apple

[kfbeau]

@TheKilerMan755 Concepts are great, HG Wells imagined men on the moon but it took NASA years and a lot of money for research and development to get there. Apple made the first successful tablet as t consumer device along an eco system. Not to say this company had a clear vision but again there was no actual device to come from them.

[hitpool500]

funny ..lol... that is not tablet.. more like e-book reader. nothing like ipad ..and that did not exist.

[mjsquad]

@hitpool500 oh poor fanboy...

[shtetldik]

This was used by prior art demonstration by Samsung lawyers to fight back on Apple's patent bullying regarding the iPad.

[L3ros]

I remember seeing the first smartphones in like 1998, so this does not really surprise me.

It's sad that it takes so long for technology to become available to the public at a good price.

[astrologyzone]

Steve Jobs & all the dirty lying Apple fanboys can wish all you want that Apple & Steve Jobs invented the TABLET. Disgusting liars.

[ThUnoriginalUsername]

@astrologyzone lol no one says that. but apple did "invent" a tablet people actually wanted to buy and use on a daily basis. go look at motion computing, toshiba, fujitsu. hundreds of tablets good for work but not much else.

[joemeblowme]

@astrologyzone .. Tablets were out for years on the market before iPads. I dont think anyone is confused by that.

[PAPO1990]

@astrologyzone no but they were the first to make a GOOD tablet

[furQ]

@astrologyzone well gosh

[BlindLightbulb]

@astrologyzone Apple NEVER said they invented the tablet. Microsoft and other manufacturers had touch-based computers for the past 10 years. The iPad is the tablet done right. Ideas are a dime a dozen, implementation is what really matters. Ask Facebook.

[MonsterAir6]

@astrologyzone wtf why the fuck are u nerd raging over this shit who cares

[fuzzy76no]

@astrologyzone You do know that this was shot a full year after Apple released the Newton tablet in 1993?

[thecentristword]

@astrologyzone Why in the world do you care? Get a life mate!

[SooperKewl]

@astrologyzone For all of you anti-Apple types bagging on Jobs and Apple for not "inventing" the tablet, dreaming something up does not EQUAL inventing it. By your logic, H.G. Wells invented both time travel and space missions to the moon when he wrote both "The Time Machine" and "The First Men In the Moon" over 100 years ago. I'm pretty sure we're still waiting for the former to happen and the N.A.S.A. will be credited with the latter.

[SooperKewl]

@SooperKewl If anything this video is a damning indictment of the newspaper industry for failing to have the vision and foresight to see where this would all end up one day. Instead of following through on a very good idea and setting the technology agenda, they've been relegated to dinosaur status and are very much at the mercy of Jobs, Google, et al. now.

[dvlnthebludrs]

@SooperKewl... somebody's angry... lol.... "anti-Apple types".... do you have a decal of the Apple logo pissing on the Dell logo on the back of your car window?
