Yup the crazy people who are not that popular and everyone thinks they are stupid are usually the ones who make life better...I just have the crazy idea of making a console that puts people into the actual game

These are our heroes, not the celebrity of the moment... I can think of worse messages for a company to put out there.
Grafschmitzel, too bad you have missed the point completely in drawing parallels between those who have changed the world and what the company is trying to do. Would be worth another view to find the real meaning.
@Cyberite911 I'm sorry if I missed something, but I don't think I'm the one drawing the wrong parallels here: with this commercial, Apple is implicitly comparing itself with Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, M.L. King, John Lennon etc. And those commentors who want to see Steve Jobs in the ad, are explicitly comparing him with those real great spirits of the last century. Which I think is a very blunt exaguration and a historical error.
Of course it's sad he died, and I feel sorry for his family and friends. But seeing Steve Jobs as some kind of miraculous hybrid cross between Gandhi, John Lennon and our dear Lord in heaven, is really too much of an honour. He was a smart businessman, who sold existing concepts with a layer of slick design for a double price. This commercial is only a very illustrative example of Apples shameless arrogance
Call me a misfit, call me a round peg in a square hole, but that's what I think.
Am I the only one who gets a bad taste in his mouth, thinking that all these great spirits of the 20th century are being misused for the arbitrary commercial interests of that stupid apple company?
As long as we keep dreaming about beauty, love, justice and "magic" , fight for it, help to create it and connect in light, there will be hope forever!
First thing that popped in my mind right after the bad news was this ad. One minute that describes the mind of the great visionary. One minute, but so powerful in meaning. One minute that says what it all is about.
Cheers to all the square pegs in a round holes, don't ever let anything stop you from thinking different!
Exactly the same for me. The moment I heard Steve had passed, I immediately thought of this commercial and had to dig it out of my favorited videos from years ago!
@chthonical Thank you for your wisdom. Although - here we are , online , with our " devices" .This is also the legacy of Steve Jobs, so much of our lives is spent here.I don't think we know yet, what it all means and where it will lead us, but lives have changed.
@sgoConsulting I'd be all for that, except, although it's Richard Dreyfuss narrating the ad, I have read that Steve Jobs is the one who came up with the quote itself. So I think, and I'm sure he would agree, that although he'd be honored, it would seem oddly self-gratifying to add him to the commercial. RIP Steve, you were a visionary, and, "there may be no greater tribute to your success than the fact that much of the world learned of your passing on a device you invented."
Never thought about Steve Jobs when I watched this before. Now I see him as belonging in the ad itself! He's the one who pushed the human race forward. I am amazed.
I can personally think of no better monument to the legacy of Steve Jobs than this commercial. Steve is my idol, and he shall continue to be so in death, as he was in life. My he rest in peace, and may the forward momentum he has inspired continue for decades to come.
"...Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. "
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things.
The mind is the most powerful thing there is, all you have to do is know how to unleash its power! Yes, you can change the world and the people in it if you want to do it bad enough! You can if you think you can!
This video has been around for a while and it never ceases to inspire me...I just don't understand the 'dislikes'...what exactly do the dislikers dislike about such an incredible video with extraordinary people?! Is it ignorance...don't get it!
Apple employed scientists in designing this promotional campaign. They determined that "think different," rather than the gramatically correct "think differently" causes the brain to fire preferable portions of the language centers in the brain, more closely related to emotion and buying behavior. In doing so, the designers themselves were "thinking different."
Just FYI, the narrator in this clip is Richard Dreyfuss.
@sixpactnu Sure Steve cannot be compared to Gandhi. Steve almost united the world through the use of his computer machine, while Gandhi caused the break up of India and conveniently blamed on Ali Jinah!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
@sixpactnu You have no idea what you're talking about, sorry. If you knew you wouldn't be saying that Jobs's primary goal was money because it never has been. His primary goal has always been to make products that inspire people in new ways. How else can you explain why the whole mobile industry now produces phones that look the same as the iPhone does?
@swedishguy83 If his goal was to inspire people then why not open up the platform more so people can take that inspiration and run with it? That was Steve Wozniak's goal, but when he and Jobs split, Jobs took the commercial potential side and ran with it... His focus was on consumers aka money. Jobs has inspired many, yes, but he always refused to share info, which made it much more difficult for anyone to build on his brilliant ideas. That, because commercial success was the number one goal.
@sixpactnu The main reason why Apple has such a closed solution is because they do not trust others to build on it and actually make it better (or at least go the way they want their products and solutions to go). So instead of opening up and giving the consumers more quantity they keep it closed and give consumers more quality. You can have your opinion about Jobs doing it all for the money but I'm just telling the facts and they are that you are wrong.
@sixpactnu Yet again you display your total lack on knowledge. I don't see how you can even make your point if you had done the least bit of research into what kind of person Steve Jobs is. Try watching a few interviews with him or his 2005 Stanford commencement speech. Watch the movie Pirates of the Silicon Valley which, although fictive in parts, is accurate or Wikipedia. That's what I've based my views on Steve Jobs on. I would love to hear where you gotten yours from.
@swedishguy83 Getting back to the commercial itself, it's just that, a commercial. Used for marketing an image/brand, with the intent of increasing profits. It's clear Jobs is a hero of yours and that's great. If the questions is, has he brought good into the world, I agree. If the insinuation is that Jobs and Apple don't care about profits and first and foremost care about inspiring, I continue to disagree. Saying something is a fact doesn't make it so.
@sixpactnu I never said Apple doesn't care about profit. I said Apple's main concern is the quality of what their selling why else would they have such a closed solution? They would make a lot more by f.ex. letting anyone install OS X on any pc. If Steve Jobs primary goal was money, like you said, then why has he for the past 13 years agreed to a salary of 1 USD per year? You're right, that's why nothing you said so far has any factual value.
@sixpactnu So please enlighten me to how you reach the conclusion of Steve Jobs's primary goal since it would seem that neither the amount that is his salary nor how high a priority profit is as a goal is to Apple seems to have any bearing on that matter?
"In order of appearance they were: Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Branson, John Lennon (with Yoko Ono), Buckminster Fuller, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Ted Turner, Maria Callas, Mahatma Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Alfred Hitchcock, Martha Graham, Jim Henson (with Kermit the Frog), Frank Lloyd Wright and Pablo Picasso. The commercial ends with an image of a young girl (identified as Shaan Sahota) opening her closed eyes, as if to see the possibilities before her."
Mac is simply a toy it does nothing exept play media like images and video. It cannot make you money in a buisness and because of its unwillingness to adapt repairing a mac can be extremely costly and frustrating due to there comany locks. its like a cellphone that locks you to a certain provider and to unlock it to go to another company you have to pay the bill and wait on hold for 10 hours.
Personally I've never used any Mac (cuz they're so damn expensive) but I've got the iPhone and I love it. Apple's products maybe overpriced or complicated but they're definitely different. And this Think Different add is also a work of genius. Bravo Apple.
P.S. I've used my iPhone to comment on this link. I hate to kiss ass but Apple is really different.
State what you will, this commercial is amazing. Richard Dreyfus is perfect in his voiceover, and the images of those who refused to accept the status quo give me chills. Regardless of your opinion of Apple as a company, this ad can stand on its own with regard to being different, being YOU. :)
@mouris21 The personal computer, graphic user interface, the iPod, iPhone, iTunes, and iPad haven't had any cultural and social impacts at all. Apple might as well be making pliers.
Now, over ten years later, that "Think different" mentality is still as strong as ever. Congrads Apple, to all your success in changing entire industries!
FUCK PEOPLE!!!! Get over it, it's just a goddamn computer!! Yes I use a Mac, because it fucking works. I was sick of viruses and slowdowns. BUT WHO CARES? Just because a person uses a PC or Mac doesn't mean they suck
For the PC fanboys out there....guess what....Bill Gates himself probably owns a Mac. If he doesn't, Microsoft definitely has a few Macs. How do you think they wrote the iPhone apps???? Surely not with a PC...
@YoItsMePalmer Obviously Microsoft owns many macaintosh computers, and i'm sure Apple has many PC's with different firmware's/OS's. They have to examine each other's business strategies if nothing else. I personally like Windows better, the OS gives the user more freedom and because over 96% of the world's personal computers run windows, more 3rd party software. Windows is also more secure, and is available one most computers. PC's in general CHANGE the world everyday
Very appropriate message especially for the Tea Party/ Sarah Palin types who are afraid of the change that is happening now! Thanks Apple for a great message!
Oh I like the fact that Apple controls the hardware and software! It means it works and works well with hardly ever a glitch! Thank you Steve Jobs!
Yes because Macs are all the same, and the OS restricts its users. There is no single desktop appearance for Linux and the user is free to do whatever they want with the OS.
@grandmaster1fc how does OS X restrict the user? how is the user not free to do what he or she wants with the OS? i think you are very misinformed about OS X and its foundation, and about operating systems in general.
Try installing OS X on any computer not made by Apple, although it is possible, Apple does its part to make it very difficult to pull off. That's one restriction (a big one). You can't capture a screen image of a DVD movie unless you use THIRD-PARTY software. There are no options for changing the appearance of the desktop (window manager). You can't change the kernel of OS X, even though the kernel itself is open source, which makes no sense at all.
@grandmaster1fc do you only buy cars whose OS runs on generic car hardware as well? Why is it that you're fine driving a car which runs one and only one OS, but not a laptop? Apple has never been about creating commodity goods, be they OS or user-space software or hardware: not in '95, not in '85. Why do you suddenly blame them for not creating commodity goods now?
You are comparing Apples and Oranges. A cars purpose it to get you from point a to point b, while a computer is a multifunctional tool. Flexibility is key to computing. This is my problem with Apple, restricting hardware means restricting uses.
@grandmaster1fc When you use a computer, you're working with an enormous stack of hardware and software - if I understand you, you're suggesting a moral obligation to make this stack as "flexible" as possible? By that reasoning, does Microsoft have a moral obligation to let other companies create competing GUI's to interface with their kernel? Do motherboard manufacturers have a moral obligation to document and adhere to standard BIOS interfaces? Where do you decide where to place the seams?
One problem at a time. While Windows may not be perfect, it is still noticeably more flexible then Mac OS X. Microsoft should allow users to create their own GUI's, and yes, for everyone's sake the BIOS interfaces should adhere to a standard.
@grandmaster1fc Then you hold a moral position of user freedom as championed by RMS (and in the corporate incarnation, Google). For that I give you nothing but respect. However, do try to acknowledge the possible validity of other moral systems, as well: in the case of Microsoft, that's shareholder profit (they push "flexibility" only to the extent it serves their business model); in the case of Jobs' Apple, it's changing the world by building beautiful things.
@grandmaster1fc I also would like to mention, unlike PCs, Macintosh computers all come in the same box, from the same company, with the same software. To me, it's nice to the see the same thing.
The problem I have with PCs is since there is literally thousands of different models, it gets a little confusing which one is better. Where do I get drivers if I have to reinstall the OS? Along with a bunch of other stuff. Though they have good sides too as you've mentioned.
Having everything the same is great for some people, but others, like myself, don't like being restricted.
You know which computer is best for you based on the technical specifications (hardware).
The drivers can always be found on the manufactures website from either the company who assembled your computer (Dell, HP, etc.) or from the manufacture of the hardware piece that you need a driver for.
@grandmaster1fc vacuous replies, but, ok, i will bite: the reasons behind apple choosing EFI PCs instead of BIOS PCs have less to do with "restricting" people than it has with technical benefits. you can capture the screen of the DVD player with the built-in screengrabber. you can change the kernel as much as you want, you can reconfigure it on-the-fly, you can recompile a statically changed version, and you run any of it as you want.
@grandmaster1fc the reason there isn't a sweet, intuitive GUI for doing kernel modifications for OS X is the same reason that there aren't any of those tool for linux or the BSDs either: people shouldn't be messing with it unless they know what they do. the technically skilled will know how to handle it, and the ones not skilled simply should not go there in the first place. and, no, you can't configure Aqua's appearance - i guess apple has other aims and focuses than just eye-candy goodness.
@grandmaster1fc Installing OS X on any computer other than an Apple manufactured Macintosh computer goes against Apple's EULA of the OS X operating system. Therefore that argument is not valid on any grounds (or in other words, it's not supposed to be easy).
You can take a picture of a DVD without third party software. Try using Quicktime once in awhile.
You can change the look and feel of the windows, there are programs to do that.
"Installing OS X on any computer other than an Apple manufactured Macintosh computer goes against Apple's EULA of the OS X operating system Therefore that argument is not valid on any grounds"
Yes it is, it proves that you are restricted to using specific hardware to run Apple's software, hardware that only Apple approves on, from computers that only they build.
Apple's EULA is just a poor excuse. For goodness sakes their slogan is "Think Different." How can someone think different if they are restricted to being inside the box only?
I hate Apple. They give themselves this hippie, freedom attitude but look at their products. They impose such a software dictatorship on their hardware that was never imaginable with Microsoft. The products aren't bad, don't get me wrong. But you must use them as Apple intended you to use them. Apple is like communism.
I don't think Steve Jobs has his followers march to the middle east to slaughter millions of Muslims. They're fucking annoying on Youtube, but as far as organized religion is concerned they're fairly innocuous.
i can forsee a bloody conflict that will devide the world. As the technology will take more and more controle over our life, computer brand will become more. They will be worshipped and their foul leaders will call forth blood bath for the sanctity of theyr explotation system. yep pretty much
If you want to make people take your argument seriosly, then you might want to learn how to spell DIVIDE. I also dont think ending it in "yep pretty much" helps either
Well they revolutionized the computer industry and played a big part in making computers what they are today. They revolutionized the entire music industry and changed the phone industry as well!

"In order of appearance they were: Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Branson, John Lennon (with Yoko Ono), Buckminster Fuller, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Ted Turner, Maria Callas, Mahatma Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Alfred Hitchcock, Martha Graham, Jim Henson (with Kermit the Frog), Frank Lloyd Wright and Pablo Picasso. The commercial ends with an image of a young girl (identified as Shaan Sahota) opening her closed eyes, as if to see the possibilities before her."

Mac is simply a toy it does nothing exept play media like images and video. It cannot make you money in a buisness and because of its unwillingness to adapt repairing a mac can be extremely costly and frustrating due to there comany locks. its like a cellphone that locks you to a certain provider and to unlock it to go to another company you have to pay the bill and wait on hold for 10 hours.

Personally I've never used any Mac (cuz they're so damn expensive) but I've got the iPhone and I love it. Apple's products maybe overpriced or complicated but they're definitely different. And this Think Different add is also a work of genius. Bravo Apple.
P.S. I've used my iPhone to comment on this link. I hate to kiss ass but Apple is really different.

For the PC fanboys out there....guess what....Bill Gates himself probably owns a Mac. If he doesn't, Microsoft definitely has a few Macs. How do you think they wrote the iPhone apps???? Surely not with a PC...

@YoItsMePalmer Obviously Microsoft owns many macaintosh computers, and i'm sure Apple has many PC's with different firmware's/OS's. They have to examine each other's business strategies if nothing else. I personally like Windows better, the OS gives the user more freedom and because over 96% of the world's personal computers run windows, more 3rd party software. Windows is also more secure, and is available one most computers. PC's in general CHANGE the world everyday

Wouldn't the people that think different use Linux, instead of a closed down Mac?
wuzupbling22 1 year ago
@wuzupbling22
Yes because Macs are all the same, and the OS restricts its users. There is no single desktop appearance for Linux and the user is free to do whatever they want with the OS.
grandmaster1fc 1 year ago
@grandmaster1fc how does OS X restrict the user? how is the user not free to do what he or she wants with the OS? i think you are very misinformed about OS X and its foundation, and about operating systems in general.
stolendata 1 year ago
@stolendata
Try installing OS X on any computer not made by Apple, although it is possible, Apple does its part to make it very difficult to pull off. That's one restriction (a big one). You can't capture a screen image of a DVD movie unless you use THIRD-PARTY software. There are no options for changing the appearance of the desktop (window manager). You can't change the kernel of OS X, even though the kernel itself is open source, which makes no sense at all.
grandmaster1fc 1 year ago
@grandmaster1fc do you only buy cars whose OS runs on generic car hardware as well? Why is it that you're fine driving a car which runs one and only one OS, but not a laptop? Apple has never been about creating commodity goods, be they OS or user-space software or hardware: not in '95, not in '85. Why do you suddenly blame them for not creating commodity goods now?
anfedorov 1 year ago
@anfedorov
You are comparing Apples and Oranges. A cars purpose it to get you from point a to point b, while a computer is a multifunctional tool. Flexibility is key to computing. This is my problem with Apple, restricting hardware means restricting uses.
grandmaster1fc 1 year ago
@grandmaster1fc When you use a computer, you're working with an enormous stack of hardware and software - if I understand you, you're suggesting a moral obligation to make this stack as "flexible" as possible? By that reasoning, does Microsoft have a moral obligation to let other companies create competing GUI's to interface with their kernel? Do motherboard manufacturers have a moral obligation to document and adhere to standard BIOS interfaces? Where do you decide where to place the seams?
anfedorov 1 year ago
@anfedorov
One problem at a time. While Windows may not be perfect, it is still noticeably more flexible then Mac OS X. Microsoft should allow users to create their own GUI's, and yes, for everyone's sake the BIOS interfaces should adhere to a standard.
There is always room for improvement.
grandmaster1fc 1 year ago
@grandmaster1fc Then you hold a moral position of user freedom as championed by RMS (and in the corporate incarnation, Google). For that I give you nothing but respect. However, do try to acknowledge the possible validity of other moral systems, as well: in the case of Microsoft, that's shareholder profit (they push "flexibility" only to the extent it serves their business model); in the case of Jobs' Apple, it's changing the world by building beautiful things.
anfedorov 1 year ago
@grandmaster1fc I also would like to mention, unlike PCs, Macintosh computers all come in the same box, from the same company, with the same software. To me, it's nice to the see the same thing.
The problem I have with PCs is since there is literally thousands of different models, it gets a little confusing which one is better. Where do I get drivers if I have to reinstall the OS? Along with a bunch of other stuff. Though they have good sides too as you've mentioned.
caseywtw 1 year ago
@caseywtw
Having everything the same is great for some people, but others, like myself, don't like being restricted.
You know which computer is best for you based on the technical specifications (hardware).
The drivers can always be found on the manufactures website from either the company who assembled your computer (Dell, HP, etc.) or from the manufacture of the hardware piece that you need a driver for.
grandmaster1fc 1 year ago
@grandmaster1fc vacuous replies, but, ok, i will bite: the reasons behind apple choosing EFI PCs instead of BIOS PCs have less to do with "restricting" people than it has with technical benefits. you can capture the screen of the DVD player with the built-in screengrabber. you can change the kernel as much as you want, you can reconfigure it on-the-fly, you can recompile a statically changed version, and you run any of it as you want.
stolendata 1 year ago
@grandmaster1fc the reason there isn't a sweet, intuitive GUI for doing kernel modifications for OS X is the same reason that there aren't any of those tool for linux or the BSDs either: people shouldn't be messing with it unless they know what they do. the technically skilled will know how to handle it, and the ones not skilled simply should not go there in the first place. and, no, you can't configure Aqua's appearance - i guess apple has other aims and focuses than just eye-candy goodness.
stolendata 1 year ago
@grandmaster1fc Installing OS X on any computer other than an Apple manufactured Macintosh computer goes against Apple's EULA of the OS X operating system. Therefore that argument is not valid on any grounds (or in other words, it's not supposed to be easy).
You can take a picture of a DVD without third party software. Try using Quicktime once in awhile.
You can change the look and feel of the windows, there are programs to do that.

"Installing OS X on any computer other than an Apple manufactured Macintosh computer goes against Apple's EULA of the OS X operating system Therefore that argument is not valid on any grounds"
Yes it is, it proves that you are restricted to using specific hardware to run Apple's software, hardware that only Apple approves on, from computers that only they build.
grandmaster1fc 1 year ago
@grandmaster1fc
Apple's EULA is just a poor excuse. For goodness sakes their slogan is "Think Different." How can someone think different if they are restricted to being inside the box only?

I hate Apple. They give themselves this hippie, freedom attitude but look at their products. They impose such a software dictatorship on their hardware that was never imaginable with Microsoft. The products aren't bad, don't get me wrong. But you must use them as Apple intended you to use them. Apple is like communism.
