> Michael Dell's comment came after Apple had started to develop its online store, but it definitely smarted — as you can see in video of Steve Jobs launching the Apple online store. You can see it, but you can't really hear it. Video survives of the presentation, but it is close to inaudible.
Even though this article was published today, the video link is dead due to the posting account ("SteveJobsArchive") being terminated. I found a mirror here, though, and the audio seems fine: https://vimeo.com/30998833 https://vimeo.com/30998833
- SllX 3y agoThat is the presentation I was looking for. I didn’t realize SteveJobsArchive was dead though. Dammit all.
- chiph 3y agoAfter Steve makes a $16,000 purchase from the store, and he says "You can go the website ... so you don't take up the time of the salespeople at CompUSA" I bet Hal Compton (the CompUSA CEO who had just left the stage) was in the wings hopping mad at Steve.

- phonon 3y agoAudio cuts out around 25:42?
- re 3y agoLooks like there's an issue where the audio is actually just mono, but is split into stereo channels, but after that point in the video, one of the channels is inverted. So if you're listening to them through a single speaker or otherwise mixed down to mono, the channels will cancel out. Try using headphones or stereo speakers, or download the video and play it back in a program like VLC that lets you select just one of the audio channels to play.
