How is that spam? It's the actual video...
My mistake. I clicked the link on my iPad, and there was no video (is Flash required??), so I clicked on the link to "Download this video!" and I was asked for a username and password or to set up an account, after which I was taken to a screen to "complete offers to reach 100 credits."
So, you can see how that appears to be spam, right? Try clicking on the link to download this video and see what you have to buy in order to do so. Perhaps this qualifies as pseudospam.....
A truly NON SPAM link to the video would have been a link to a file on a cloud drive which simply allowed you download the video to your computer WITHOUT having to set up an account or enter your e-mail. However, you are right in that I can now watch it on my MacBook Air (not my iPad or Apple TV, however), and I am not able to save the movie unless I reach 100 credits after buying a bunch of crap.
Ok, I understand now. Basically, you were trying to view the link on your iPad and therefore the flash video didn't show up. Instead, you saw the download this video link, which is basically just an ad, so you thought I was spamming.
It's a simple misunderstanding, no problem.
But I do take issue with your remark about the link not being a truly 'NON SPAM' link. I think you need to go back and read my original post. I never said that it was a link for you to download the interview, I just said it was a link to watch the interview. It's not my fault that the site contains random ads and doesn't allow you to download.

- In Safari or Google Chrome, go to the video page
- Right click anywhere on the page > Inspect Element
- Select the Network tab (you can clear requests from the bottom toolbar, it's the button with the crossed out circle)
- Start playing the video
- The video file, nnfa763d3df4ed056567ff78c615442128.flv will appear in the list, right click and copy the link
- Paste the link into the address bar, hit enter and your browser should start downloading it
AWESOME! You are truly a power user!! I just followed your instructions, and it's working flawlessly! I am not worthy....
By the way, can you give me one more step about the best way to convert this .flv file to a .mp4 or .mov file? It's downloading right now, but I'm not sure if a .flv file is playable within iTunes. Furthermore, since I'm pretty sure .flv is Flash, I don't think it will play on my iPad, Apple TV or iPhone. Thanks in advance!!

Fair enough. Meanwhile, I just followed neeklamy's directions (I recommend you do the same) and I downloaded the movie to my computer, so now all is good. Please disregard any earlier comments I made about SPAM. It was my own dumb fault for actually setting up an account at Now Video in the first place. I should have known better....
I followed the steps mentioned by someone by typing the name of the movie and ending in torrent and found it in .mp4 format. The website that had it was demonoid
Now I can watch it on my AppleTV

So, he inflated his resume, big deal. If inflating one's resume were that big of a deal... Oh, wait, it's not. That story is from 1998... It's obviously had little to no effect on his career. He does have the connections within the industry that he writes about, and he does lecture on technology across the globe.
His book "Accidental Empires" is still one of the best first hand accounts (by the people who created them) of the founding "modern" technology and the web.
PBS ran the "Lost Interview" shortly after Mr. Job's passing. I agree with the posters who said it was fascinating to hear the things we've read before in Job's own voice and words.
Is trying to find a torrent or pirated "free" version any more wrong than Cringely/Stephens inflating his resume?
Just my .02¢

All the bumph said this interview was 'unedited'. It really isn't. Even though a lot of it is left to play for longer than you would usually see on a normal TV interview, it is chopped up quite a lot. Personally as much as Steve is interesting to listen to, he's still in interview mode most of the time. I want to see more of his real persona, which you'd mainly only get on camera inbetween the answering of questions. A lot of is left in, such as when Cringely asks him about NeXT and he replies 'You don't really wanna hear about that do ya?', and when he stops himself talking about the Macintosh betrayal because it would be too emotional to carry on. But you can tell a lot of it has been taken out. Even something as simple as how he picks up a coffee cup or something is interesting, because we know so little of the real Steve Jobs on camera because he was ALWAYS playing a part, that even the smallest amount of body language can tell you a lot more than you knew before.
It's right there on Apple TV
Just FYI: the movie appears on the top row of icons in the 'Movies' page on Apple TV right now.
Apple isn't hyping the movie, but they're not exactly hiding it either.

This is exactly how I felt. if you don't want to pay to rent it fine, but if you are all interested in this kind of stuff, I thought it was worth it.
Same for the 60 minutes interview. They re-ran that this weekend, and even though I had already seen it, and read the book, etc, I ended up watching it all over again.
There is something about HEARING Steve describe these things that makes it so fascinating. I really hope they release some of the audio tapes from the biography...
