How do you fullscreen videos on apple.com?
You can't. Steve says it himself very well: "Apple is not about technology" :)

Yes; it's Bach's Cello Suite #1. You've probably also heard it in Master and Commander, where it was performed by Yo-yo Ma. It's one of my favorite pieces of string music.
Didn't Yo-Yo Ma perform a private concert at Steve Jobs' house? I think it was in the biography.
I don't remember the biography mentioning a private concert at his house (wouldn't surprise me) but Jobs did personally ask Yo Yo Ma to play at his funeral.

If you had to boil Steve Jobs's biggest contributions down to a minimum, it's: * the first genuinely usable, affordable GUI (i.e. the Mac) * the iPod * the iPhone I'd say the Apple ][ is debatably on that list (the first personal computer than "just worked" or something). NeXTStep is a wonderful OS with a lot of Good Stuff in it but it's a piece of a product. The iPod Touch and iPhone are fairly obvious evolutions of…
No question about Apple ][ - That was the first computer schools across the country (US) started buying en masse. To my mind, that is the product that really touched off the personal computer revolution. As you mention, the Mac paradigm shift was about the GUI, Mouse, and taking what they started with the I and ][ to the next, more refined and "product-ized" level.
I'm pretty sure the Apple //e was the first computer I ever touched. That or a TRS-80. But I choose to repress that memory.

#108I think this is the first time Apple posted a non QuickTime video on their site. As a Linux user, it felt different :)

#110Yesterday: "Apple is a worthless patent troll. All of their 'inventions' are things that were invented somewhere else. The only thing they did was patent other people's work, then charge twice as much for it to a bunch of worthless fan-boys."
Today: "R.I.P. Steve Jobs. He did so much to change the face of technology forever."
