Must be interesting to watch, but with such a CRAPPY streaming performance I am not so sure...
Uploaded this video on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWvbt8d7sok Hope it helps with streaming issue.
I think what's happened since I left in terms of growth rate has been trivial compared with what it was like when I was there. What ruined Apple wasn't growth. What ruined Apple was values. John Sculley ruined Apple and he ruined it by bringing a set of values to the top of Apple which were corrupt and corrupted some of the top people who were there, drove out some of the ones who were not corruptible, and brought in more corrupt ones and paid themselves collectively tens of millions of dollars and cared more about their own glory and wealth than they did about what built Apple in the first place -- which was making great computers for people to use.
They didn't care about that anymore. They didn't have a clue about how to do it and they didn't take any time to find out because that's not what they cared about. They cared about making a lot of money. So they had this wonderful thing that a lot of brilliant people made called the Macintosh and they got very greedy. And instead of following the original trajectory of the original vision -- which was to make this thing an appliance, to get this out there to as many people as possible -- they went for profits and they made outlandish profits for about four years. Apple was one of the most profitable companies in America for about four years.
Could you put it on Dropbox or something instead? It's impossible to watch it right now.
Anyone have a link to the video?

Apparently Steve Jobs did not understand evolution, and his defense of death is a non-sequitur. Don't take this as disrespect, I cried at his death as much as the next person (actually significantly more, I think), but this is not a deep thought. It's just a rationalization, a post-hoc justification of something that didn't need any justification in order to come into existence.
Death sucks. This is something any child could tell you, and it's not a trick question. We don't need it and we should eliminate as many of its causes as possible.
Some individuals, like myself, don't care about superficial things like personal hair styling. In fact, the messier and crazy looking the better.
Jobs was an intuitive.

The comment he made was brilliant in its novelty. Sometimes you have to look beyond known data points.
Those with intuition with as a primary function often make the capital mistake of theorizing first and making the data fit the theory. Creative or outright inaccurate application of knowledge can be quite common and not necessarily an indicator of not knowing the underlying subject.
