“

The truth about the greatest commercial of all time – Think Different – is that the intended audience was Apple itself. Jobs took over a demoralized company on the precipice of bankruptcy, and reminded them that they were special, and, that Jobs was special. It was the beginning of a new chapter.

“Designed in California” should absolutely be seen in the same light. This is a commercial for Apple on the occasion of a new chapter; we just get to see it.

”

- Ben Thompson on Tim Cook.

The fact that it was a love letter to Apple as a reminder of it stands for, rather than what it sells, is what made it a great ad.

Yahoo to Buy Tumblr for $1 Billion?:

Noooo!!!
Don’t sell it @DavidKarp! Look what Yahoo did to Delic.io.us and the rest!
Seriously, why sell when investors could provide the exact same amount?

“If you would walk rather than wait for one of 92 elevators, there is six mile long ramp running from the first to the 170th floor (of 220 floors). Beside the ramp are 56 different 30 foot high courtyards used for basketball, tennis, swimming, theatres, and 930,000 square feet of interior vertical organic farms.”

(1999) Steve Jobs Introduces The World to WiFi

Just look at that response over something we take completely for granted now just 14 years later.

Love the camera man over-the-shoulder as the way to show it on the big screen.

And the hula hoop — look ma, no wires! — is just a brilliant, Steve Jobs touch.
