Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine
1
After hours of getting
this thing right...
God, look at that.
Look, I'm on television.
- Hey! Isn't that amazing?
- Yeah, it is.
- You're on TV in New York, too.
- What's that?
- You're on TV in New York, too.
- No, no.
- Yes, you are.
- Am I really? Are you serious?
- Yeah, they got you in New York.
- God.
I'm gonna let you
put it in your own ear.
- Really?
- It's a talk back.
- They're going to talk to you.
- This is not the real thing, right?
You just want a picture of me now?
- They're going to sit you here first.
- God.
You need to tell me
where the restroom is, too,
cos I'm deathly ill, actually,
at any moment, so...
- Great. I'm not joking.
We're ready to go, gentlemen.
New York's waiting for a shot of him.
If you see in my eyes,
I've been crying just a little bit.
And it seems really ridiculous
because I've never met the man.
I know life is ephemeral,
but I just, you know,
I expected him to be around
a little longer.
Pretty sure everybody did,
but, you know...
The thing I'm using right now,
an iMac, he made.
He made the iMac.
He made the Macbook.
He made the Macbook Pro.
He made the Macbook Air.
He made the iPhone.
He made the iPod.
Yeah, he's made the iPod Touch.
He's made everything.
Hey, Mr Tambourine Man
Play a song for me
I'm not sleepy
And there's no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr Tambourine Man
Play a song for me
I'll come following you
It's not often that the whole
planet seems to feel a loss together,
but after the death of Steve Jobs,
co-founder of Apple
and singular dreamer,
all day, we watched
as there was a kind of global wake.
On Facebook, millions changing
their profiles to the Apple logo.
A kind of black armband,
a gesture of gratitude.
We've been monitoring
the hashtag "thankyousteve."
was four simple letters
simply saying, "iSad."
Hi.
When Steve Jobs died,
I was mystified.
What accounted for the grief of
millions of people who didn't know him?
I'd seen it with John Lennon
but Steve Jobs wasn't a singer
or a civil-rights leader.
Many commentators were surprised
by the intensity and the power
of this wave of emotion.
What was it?
And I think it was truly love.
Jobs has proven to be the one
and only person in the world
who can create
technology products that people love.
Wall-E.
I love "Wall-E,"
a film Jobs's Pixar produced,
and I love my iPhone,
but the grief for Jobs seemed to go
beyond the products he left behind.
We mourned the man himself,
but why?
Behind the scenes, Jobs could be
ruthless, deceitful and cruel.
Yet he won our hearts by convincing us
that Apple represented a higher ideal.
It was not like other companies.
It was different.
Good morning and welcome to Apple's
1984 annual shareholders' meeting.
I'd like to open the meeting
with part of an old poem,
about a 20-year-old poem, by Dylan.
That's Bob Dylan.
"Come writers and critics
who prophesize with your pens
and keep your eyes wide,
the chance won't come again."
"And don't speak too soon
for the wheel's still in spin
and there's no telling
who that it's naming."
"For the loser now will be later to win,
for the times, they are a-changing."
Jobs loved Dylan
maybe because he wasnt just one thing.
He was a storyteller who could
be whatever we wanted him to be.
I don't even what know what
All Along The Watchtower means.
I think it is one of
the most beautiful, haunting,
