I love how the "boss" is sitting on the floor while most everyone is seated on the couch.

Hah! Yeah, sorry didn't see those. This video was originally posted by Layar CEO Raimo van der Klein here: http://cl.ly/2J0d1v2K1F3x3y3F401T Right around the time that Jobs resigned. I had it tucked away in Instapaper as it was hosted on a Dutch video sharing site that also shared a lot of Porn and I would rather share it from a YouTube upload.

When I saw the YT link for this video posted on Twitter (probably via someone browsing HN) I found the other two from Slomacuser and thought that they would be a good counterpoint.

Good stuff tends to surface to HN though, so I'm not surprised it ended up here multiple times.

11:00 in the video is a fascinating example of someone standing up to Jobs' reality distortion field.

Why is that fascinating?

I agree, the same example jumped out. It was interesting to hear it called out to his face when she questioned being a slave to the deadline over the quality of the product.

"Take a really expensive technology and pull it down to a price point that is affordable". That's what he did with the iPad too.

Thanks for posting, watched every video on it and found it fascinating indeed.

A few new revelation from them: Jobs' businessman side, NeXT's email client is far more advanced and sophisticated/simple than our current email clients, and Spinning Disk Wait Cursor has originated in NeXT.
