    17:08 - “One of the things I always tried to coach myself on was not being afraid to fail.
    When you have something that doesn’t work out a lot of times people’s reaction is to get very protective about ever wanting to fall on their face again
    and I think that’s a big mistake, because you never achieve what you want without falling on your face a few times in the process of getting there… So..
    I’ve tried to not be afraid to fail and matter fact I failed quite a bit since leaving Apple”

    BTW, this interview was done in 1996 by the equally amazing interviewer Terry Gross, Steve Jobs return to Apple in the same year too - judging by the content of this interview. This interview was made before Steve returned to Apple. That explained why he refrained to critique too much about Apple.

    At 25:00 he talks about the concept of the iPad so ahead of its time and even before returning to Apple, essentially a simplified $300 low price internet access device. Back then screens weren’t ready so he suggested it should connect to the TV but actually he is basically aiming functionally at the iPad already. This matches other references by internal staff at Apple saying that his first goal before the iPhone was the iPad but he wished the phone out first as it suddenly became more urgent.

    What an excellent time capsule. So much you can say about his insights at this time, and to think this was just months before Apple bought NeXT and Steve returned to the helm and saved Apple from near extinction. Edit: Right after I typed this Jobs says, in response to do you think Apple is going to fail, “I think with the appropriate leadership that’s not going to happen…but we’ll have to see.” Amazing.

      Arcane in the sense that relatively few people knew it. The language was released the same year CERN put WWW tech in public domain: 1993. For a sense of scale, 18 million homes had internet capability but only 3% (~540k) of those had used it in 1995 [1] and there were only 23,500 websites (only about one website per 23 surfers!) [2].

    Steve makes an interesting observation about 19 minutes in where he says that Apple needs to be 50 to a 100% different from the competition to make buying it worthwhile. I think this says alot to why the Mac never could catch up to the PCs and still today remains below 10% total market share of PCs. I think he is also correct in saying that when he left Apple they were at least 5 years ahead of Microsoft and went ahead to squander that lead by failing to innovate. It is debatable however to question whether or not Apple could have brought their prices down enough and innovated fast enough to actually maintain a lead especially when considering Job's famous hard core approach to keeping the Mac a sealed box. A massive driver for PC growth was endless expandability. Innovation aside, would Steve ever have gotten over the closed mindset?

    I can say something about the I-Phone. It's the best mobile phone I had. Somehow a little expensive, but worthy. Somehow I like to have it constantly recharagble and with a longer battery-time. I keep on charging. And I have no firm-telephony at my home.
    To Steve Jobs on personal: kind regards with friendly compassion.

    Browser in a box was WebTV. Considering how early it was, it worked ok.
    Microsoft bought WebTV and MSN-ed it into dust.

    What’s the matter, Steve Jobs? You don’t like the dungeon that you put me in for the right all my life that I was trapped in and I had no help to fix.
