The 30-Year-Old Macintosh and a Conversation With Steve Jobs
To celebrate the 30 year anniversary or the Mac, Steven Levy released an unseen and raw interview with Steve Jobs.
- fredsted 13y agoJust FYI, the interview book was originally released in 2000.
- hackaflocka 13y agoSuch a great wordsmith Steve Jobs was. I'm so conflicted --- I like Richard Stallman's freedom defending approach, and I also like the capitalist fruits of Steve Jobs... Anyone else on here want to help make a serious run for Nobel Peace Prize for Stallman?
- webwielder 13y agoIt's OK to like multiple things.
- chrisdevereux 13y agoThere's a single-mindedness about both of them which, while undoubtedly a contributor to their greatness, also makes them divisive, unable to compromise, and therefore very bad candidates for the Nobel Peace prize.
- robterrell 13y agoStallman is in a class by himself. Jobs eventually let them build Macs with fans, let iTunes for Windows ship, etc. Whereas Stallman has never wavered. Doesn't he still surf the web via email?
- jjoe 13y agoEver since I stumbled upon this Steve Jobs submission on HN [1], anything positive I read about this man is disdain. There's a dark cloud hanging around his work. I'm getting the vibe that others are feeling the same way too. I do realize the products Apple has built are the result of the ingenuity of thousands of Apple employees so one can't just discredit their hard work. -- Cynical me [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7111531 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7111531
- joelrunyon 13y agoIt's only been 24 hours since that link was posted - praise & disdain both tend to come in waves. People have many facets - not all are good. It's dangerous to play someone up as a savior when they're simply human.
