This was Sun Microsystems' vision of computing in 1982, 15 years earlier.

And prior to that, Digital Equipment was using "the network is the system" back the late 70s.

But then ideas and slogans are rather cheap, and neither DEC nor Sun are around any more.

Apple is still around, and Apple is still executing on their ideas.

Where in the video is this?

At around 50:10, someone asks him sarcastically to use his cloud to make sure than when TV commercials are made, they're good ones. Steve Jobs smiles, nods and thanks him.

I think he says clout, as in influence.

Oh that wasn't it. Some angry dude ranted about OpenDoc versus Java and said to Jobs: you don't know what you're talking about.

Steve was quiet for a bit, mentioned some of the time you can't please some people, then talked about how Apple needed to get back to starting from the product, the user experience, and the customers instead of how do we market this cool tech.

Yeah, that's what I heard. I just had cloud on the mind, and made that typo.
