Not hyperbole. It's an accurate statement. What's hyperbolic about stating more than half a decade?
Hyperbole would be "Hannah has been working at the same Starbucks for what feels like since the dawn of FREAKING TIME, MAN! LIKE FOREVER NOW".
going back I wonder if the people in the audience realized that mobile phones/computing would be changed forever
Interesting watching this again. I had forgotten how slow app loading was on the first iPhone. And I don't remember iOS ever flashing the Phone app icon when a call was backgrounded; did they take that out before launch?
Also interesting was Schmidt agreeing with Jobs about how companies do the best work when they focus on what they do best. He certainly didn't keep to that ideology.
And Yahoo!...wow, even back then Jerry didn't have much to contribute, and spent most of his time on-stage hawking new Yahoo services.
"Visual Voicemail is just the first of many innovations to come in our partnership with Cingular" ...yeah, not so much.
Seeing Steve certainly makes me miss the dynamic optimism and charisma he brought to the company.

Wow, $499 with 2 year contract, for 4GB. And it was so rendering so S L O W . . . innovation is nice.
I'd still like to know why this segment with Woz telling the story was removed from "Triumph of the Nerds" when it was released on DVD and VHS, along with several other segments. It's one of the few instances where the DVD release is cut down compared to the TV version aired instead of vice versa. I was hoping a "Director's cut" with the missing segments would have been released along with the lost Jobs interview.
Well, that's a nice front page article.
More importantly... I found the missing gas cap to my lawnmower today!

ok, I just heard Steve say that iOS has widgets two times in the brief part of that video I watched.... I assume he was using the word to describe something we wouldn't really refer to as widgets today...
If it takes you more than a "half-decade" to finish college and get a real job, that's just sad. Making expensive coffee for hipsters is not a career.
For sure, and man, does the first iPhone suck now! LOL
Makes me really appreciate my 5, it's so much faster and better, the future is so cool.
Can't wait for the next great thing, wish Steve was still around.
With AAPL down 38% in 6 months, shareholders may disagree with you on that one. With no new MacPro in sight, pros may disagree with you on that one. With 10.8.3 in its 800billionth test beta, users may disagree with you on that one.
I'm not trying to paint a gloomy picture, but Apple isn't doing as well as it once was - and I'm not sure that a new watch is going to fix that (but that's off topic).
This is usually the reaction from people who never went past a retail job. Sorry, but those jobs are supposed to be for teenagers and college students. Maybe retirees. Everyone else should have a job that actually accomplishes something. Get training and go work in a factory or bakery or construction site or whatever. Not everything worthwhile requires college. But standing behind a counter for 20 years handing out coffee? I'd rather be dead.
Yet another obnoxious comment. Why am I not surprised. Thanks. My 3 degrees and over 20 years in marketing/PR tell a different story.
Supposed to be for teenagers and college students? Wow. Personally I have more respect for people I guess. There are people who do the best they can and support their family or themselves with these jobs you think should be beneath them because they aren't accomplishing anything.
She hasn't been there for 20 years. Over 5. Who said it's her career. Maybe she started in high school and is now in graduate school. I'm just curious what makes someone like you make a comment so obnoxious.
On second thought - don't answer that.
Hey, guys! I'm on the internet! Let's get together and make a bunch of judgmental blanket statements about people so I can look smart in front of a bunch of strangers!
...you know, maybe she's happy working at Starbucks, and wants to stick around. Or what Samcraig said above now that I've had a chance to read it. There's a thousand and one reasons someone might want to stick with a job for 5 years.
