Steve Jobs Demos NeXTSTEP 3.0

Posted by michael on from the step-by-step-the-longest-march dept.

node 3 writes "Following the current trend of posting video from product demos long past, openstep.se has posted a 55MB video from 1992 of Steve Jobs demoing NeXTSTEP 3.0. They already have 4 mirrors hosting the file, but hopefully someone will set up a torrent (I would, but I don't have a place to post it). If you find the demo compelling and want to try out NeXTSTEP for yourself, you can always go here or here to get started."

    For fuck's sake, you cocksucking twit, were you too busy rimming your sister's shithole to read the everfucking SLASHDOT BLURB before you posted?

    Undoubtedly other posters will already have flamed you for this. My feeling is, the more the merrier.

    Twat.

    That was one of the more random DMCA references I've seen. What DRM in this file are you referring to? Seriously, what does DRM or the DMCA have to do at all with this story or this video file?

    Oh, well, it got you a pointless upmod, as intended.

    "OSX is not as clean as NeXTSTEP"

    That would be because NS is pathetically primitive compared to OS X.

    "Kits" (proprietary software--collections of ObjC objects and classes--one was encouraged to build dependencies upon) were obsoleted quite quickly, frustrating developers.

    Yes, I can certainly see why developers would be upset that NeXT gave them frameworks to build upon, which let them build their highly profitable trading systems very, very quickly. No, what they really wanted was a primitive system which required them to start from scratch.

    Unfortunately for your thesis, those "kits" were what NeXT customers really wanted, and what kept the company going so long.
