Just saw it. Many parts of the video were pretty emotional for me actually.
 
I simply can't get enough of this stuff. I wish there were other brands as exciting as Apple. But there isn't.

Thanks Bloomberg for letting me watch this. Thanks Chrome for being able to show the vid.

If he was gone, we probably wouldn't see tablets for another few years.

Or you might NEVER see tablets, since they've been around for a decade and consumers have decided they all suck, until the iPad came along and defined what a tablet could/should be...just as the iPhone and iPod and the GUI interface did before it. How many phones looked anything like the iPhone before it? NONE (And don't say Android because even though it was around, it was very, very different. Xerox PARC? I agree they innovated, but they never could make their research work as a real-world product). I think you have to acknowledge Jobs as one of the most influential people of the previous century, I don't think that's an understatement.
 
so, if microsoft invested £150m into apple (the bit when bill gates announced office 98 for mac) do they have apple shares? would it be gaor to say that these two guys arnt huge adversaries? (perhaps two old guys wondering how to deal with the rise of google?)

It's not quite as friendly as it seems.

If I remember correctly Microsoft borrowed some of the technology behind Quicktime and they got found out. The payment was part of an agreement to prevent them having a major lawsuit brought against them - they received stock and agreed to continue development of MS Office for Mac for a number of years.

They sold the stock and made a profit I believe, anyway these guys have the details:

Very nice video, i enjoyed it very much. Inspirational!
 
I'm watching this currently, and it seems to be working fine on Safari 5.0.2 on Mac OS 10.6.4.
 
You can watch it directly from your iOS device with yxplayer2. No conversion or syncing required.
 
Worked fine for me, 10.6.4, 5.0.2. I can't stand flash, though (on Youtube, now when I try to watch a flash video full screen I get nothing but a blank (black) screen...).

To download, open the activity window, find the 217MB file downloading. Option-double click on it. (Usually double click works, but option double click always works.)

Then to convert it to Apple TV with Handbrake...or I might just watch it off my mini.

Steve Jobs is the Stanley Kubrick of tech. Except that most people "get" Steve's vision the first time around. ;)

Just to expand on M87's tip (thanks!), I downloaded yxplayer2 lite (it's free) and pasted the URL for the flash file, http://videos.bloomberg.com/63723194.flv , into the app's URL field.

The streaming worked perfectly.
 
was most excellent

I watched it on TV, thanks to TiVo. :D

It was very good and actually rather emotional for me, at the end.

If you prefer to watch on TV, err TiVo (like me), check places like www.zap2it.com for proper showtimes. My TiVo's guide data was totally wrong and I had to set a manual recording based on the showtimes from zap2it.com. (This is a bit surprising since Zap2it.com is run by Tribune Media Services and that's the guide data provider to TiVo.)

Okay thanks. Apparently it's not a simple matter of Safari/OS version numbers then. [perhaps it involves flash version, and/or ClickToFlash presence, and/or hosts file alteration, and/or extensions, etc., etc.]

I'm not concerned enough to go that deep then.
