In the heady days of my youth in the early 90's I was foolishly of the opinion that Apple would one day rule the world, and that Steve Jobs would be seen as some sort of Christ figure. I kinda looked up to him in that fashion, at the time, even before he'd come back to Apple after Next. Of course, when I actually became an adult, I realized the error of my ways, switched to Linux,and over time my admiration only grew…

Cheesy, yes, but I thought that video was actually very interesting. "Ma Bell is listening in" indeed.

The woman doing the interview really seems to do a poor job. She seems to let Wozniak get about 80-90% into statements and then speedily talk over him to move onto the next point. It doesn't sound like she's actually listening to his answers, just going down her checklist. At one point he explains why he liked Sorkin's approach better than Kutcher's, then she asked a later question as if he had never said that. It's…

If you think this was rough, watch her attempt to interview PG: http://www.bloomberg.com/video/71010068-y-combinator-founder...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The solution I employ is Click2Plugin, native to Chrome and an extension to Firefox (and Safari?). I have it enabled on everything but Youtube.

If it worked in Chrome, that is.

There is an option for click-to-play in Chrome privacy settings, no need for a separate plugin, it's already baked in.

First, I never realized I had no idea what PG looked like.

Bub wow are you right. She is really pushing a possible story with each question. It's interesting she seem to be getting facts wrong. She isn't stepping over PG though, so that's obvious just trying to keep Woz on topic.

The guy who joins in (wasn't watching at the moment, so I missed his name), he sounds like he's genuinely interested in what PG is saying. He's not as polished, but he's doing a better job.

Edit: Just finished watching it. The other gentleman is Cory Johnson, and he's a very good interviewer. He continued to outside Emily Chang throughout the video, asking insightful questions in response to what PG said.

What is wrong with the interviewer? Towards the end she kept pushing Woz to say that Apple is in decline. Even after Woz repeatedly said that he didn't believe so.

Is this the view of the general public? That Apple is doomed if they don't release iWatch or whatever that's bigger than the iPhone/iPad?

Is "10%" a typo? :)

People had similar things to say about The Social Network. It was wrong about history, but it was also a good movie on its own. We will see if "Jobs", as a movie, can stand on its own.

For what it's worth, The Social Network as a movie was very well-received by critics [1]. Jobs , not so much [2]. [1] http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the-social-network/ [2] http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/jobs/

Holy shit, "not so much" is putting it really lightly.
