Crappiest streaming I have ever seen! I was getting pretty pissed watching this when i had to refresh or scan and pause play restart every 3 minutes! :mad:

Thanks BrightCove! :rolleyes:
 
Thanks for posting

Really interesting. So much better than the Channel 4 Documentary that aired last night - 'iChanged The World'.
 
I just skimmed the transcript and found this:
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.

Funny how getting something out to as many people as possible (the iPhone and iPad) results in record profits.
 
You don't need any tools, Safari's activity window gets the job done. The file is actually .flv and only about 250 Mb even though it is listed at around 2 Gb.
 
yeah that's where I got baffled. And that's probably why it "stucked" at around 11% of the 2GB file, in that the download had been actually completed but it just didn't appear that way.

Anyway, thanks for the help!:)

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.

That's an opinion. Some people are into dying. And we can't eliminate as many causes of death as possible or more of us would die in more torturous ways due to overpopulation and its consequences.
 
Jobs talks about the Internet needing to stay a public and free service so it doesn't become corrupted and controlled. So much for that.

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.



Busted :eek:

Time to change user names and start fresh.

Intuition is not something so well understood. Everyone has it at some level, some stronger, some weaker - but one has to learn to tap into it and follow it.

Intuition does not have a set of rules - Sometimes it may follow and work in the same direction as common logic and other times it may totally oppose that flow.

Western medical science may have done a lot of internal push into biological systems, but have barely scratched the surface when it comes to the brain and even less when it comes to the subtle - the Human mind, intellect, intelligence, memory and intuition and creativity and transformation.

This is best understood by the east - especially those who meditated.
