Cringely's Lost Jobs Interview: Coming To a Theater Near You
A few weeks ago, Robert X. Cringely revealed that a long-lost, hour-long interview he conducted of Steve Jobs in 1995 had been found. Now, it seems the lost tape has found its calling: the movies. Says the linked Economic Times story: "The interview will be shown at Landmark theaters in 19 cities around the country beginning Nov 16."
All this news about Steve Jobs is getting rather boring and repetitive.
Apple stores show it in solo booths with tissue dispensers
At first I thought, that this Cringely guy was applying for a job at 1995, but lost.
Then the Job was named Steve, so maybe Steve Jobs was applying for a job with Cringely. Or the other way around. That would have been fun. But why would someone tape that?
In the end I guess it is just a plain old normal Interview... zzzZZzzz
I hope the money is going to charity. This Cringely guy is of bad character, I never liked him ... I really hope the money is going to some charity.
Just let the guy rest in peace. Everyone needs to move on.

Cringely... wasn't he that talking frog or something?

All the idiots on here, slating a guy who recently passed away from cancer. He was an adopted child who grew up not knowing his parents. He was not well-off but managed through his teens. He started a company and was successful. He literally IS the American dream! He physically hurt no-one. He was not only responsible for Apple but Pixar too. You may hate Apple computers but if you cannot use one you probably won't get a job in graphics design or video related industries. That says a lot for Apple computers. Slashdot is mean't to be a tech-related news feed, but a lot of the comments on here are offensive, use foul language and are so ridiculously biased and childish that they sound like they are written by 15 year old idiots.
And the standard sarcastic responses aren't funny either. You aren't comedians guys. You aren't funny. Moderators need to clean up this website, it's losing it's credibility.
What's wrong with making money off Jobs' death? Apple made a ton, and so did his biographer. Apple even timed the release of the iPhone to it to maximize exposure (and profits).
Wow, you came so close to making a somewhat rational post ... then you had to toss it all away with the Apple timed the release of the iPhone thing.
"rest in peace"... Why do people keep saying that? Are the dead really disturbed when the living discuss them? Is this how the zombie apocalypse starts, when the deceased decide that they've had enough of being disturbed and rise up just to shut us all up?
Sort of. When the number of [name redacted for soon to be obvious reasons] articles/posts exceed the number of iDevices in the world he will rise. So we can either (1) leave him alone or (2) buy more iDevices. Your choice.

Now, why does that South Park episode suddenly spring to mind?
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
I just wish there were stories that put his innovation into perspective: he didn't do anything other than latch onto others creations and sell it.
Steve Jobs was nothing more than a salesmen. A very good salesmen, but a salesmen never the less. True innovators usually go unnoticed because they're not good at self promotion and sales - usually.
If he were to have settled somewhere else other than Silicon Valley, he would probably have a successful used car dealership or would have been a mortgage broker that contributed to this past real estate meltdown. Or maybe a timeshare salesmen. You know he could have sold ski resort timeshares in the South West desert.
This is how a religion starts.

Cringely reached his peak during the making of "Triumph of the Nerds" and the follow up series "Nerds 2.0.1". They were both some of the best historical documentaries ever done on the PC and Internet revolutions. Since then he has failed to deliver on subsequent projects.
Here's hoping there is one more great documentary series left in the old Cringe!
If you are as sick of Apple/Steve Jobs stories as I am, there is only one thing you can do -- vote with your clicks! Resist the temptation to click on the stories and post comments, even if your comment is going to be "I am sick of Apple/Steve Jobs stories." Yes, I know, I'm violating my own advice right now, but I though it was worth it to get this message out. From now on, I will in no way interact with any Slashdot story about Apple or Jobs, unless it is truly interesting.

kind of disgusting. It's almost like watching the world economically raping his dead corpse for everything that it can.
The interview has been missing for years. Nobody even cared about it.
Follow the money?
[4:1] the Holy Spirit say so in advance, in later times some will abandon the faith, that lure people to listen to the (evil) spirits, and demons of the truth.
[Timothy 4:3] because the time to go to, they will not endure sound doctrine. Itching ears, on their own desires followers, adding better master.
Extremely charismatic fundamental problem is not the teachings of the Holy Spirit to wash and dialects, the problem is that they pursue the wrong direction, for their own or for God? Strictly speaking, extremely charismatic than doctrinal issues, but spiritual issues, but because the pursuit of illusory motives and methods of the erroneous result of the intrusion of evil spirits and deception, and lack of ability to distinguish the sheep were false prophets false teachers to the illusory spirit inside.
In other words, extremely charismatic left cross and deny himself the glory of God back to God and live the way, turn to in order to achieve self-centered worship and practice, the results fall in the devil's deception and in recruiting.
In the spiritual pursuit, there are two very important, first, motivation, if our motivation is not correct, it may be deceived by the devil, God gave to the point (knot 14:3-4, Thessalonians 2:10 11, Kings 22:20-21).
The second way is to drill. If you do not follow the biblical revelation of the way to practice, but is according to the idea of ââself or pagan way (come from evil spirits) to practice, the result would be devastating, unless one is set to obey God spiritual law, but self-defeating. We need to build according to the instructions of our life style, must not be created or conceited reason of the introduction of some new ways (the 25:40,26:30, West 2:18-19,23). In the eyes of God, to worship God in their own way with the worship of other gods are equally detestable (Deuteronomy 4:2,12:2-4,28, Israel worships money and calves, a 32:4, Ye Lubo An sin, Kings 12:28,32).

Practice the error
A meditation
Meditation can be said that the New Age movement (New Age movement), the core of the practice, but also the era of charismatic ideological system of the Church of the most fundamental intrusion is extremely charismatic of the most basic features, but also the most deadly practice.
Meditation and meditation is not the same: but the biblical God, then meditation center, meditation on the Holy Spirit's lead down to think try to figure out (Deuteronomy 11:18-20, 1:8); meditation is from the Hindu or Buddhist way arising out of the pagan, meditation but put aside his own reason and self-awareness, and achieve a state of ecstasy, but those further intersect with the spirit world. Yoga with a meditation practice which often, hypnosis is a kind of meditation, meditation is the ghost of a basic cross-channel.
When the Bible speaking to the "cautious", "alert", and "police test" these state and command, are no doubt required the active participation of our reason, if we abandon rational judgments on the merits and demerits, We would have no caution, alert at all, let alone a police inspection. Key to access the depths of our souls but our own reason, we have reason to make their own choices, that is, to accept the truth and the Spirit of God, truth and evil spirits refuse absurd. Rational means to give up his soul to judge the doors open to the spirit world, which will lead to the intrusion of evil spirits (or God, we need to invite him into surrender to His will, and evil spirits will be unsolicited or that evil spirits will attack first, this gentleman is God and the devil shallow).

And so it begins: The Cult of Jobs
How will you know if its truly interesting?
There is already a book in the old testament about him; I think the religion started quite a bit ago.
It is an ok read, but doesn't mention Apple, macintosh or iPods explicitly. An earlier book in the series has a bit about apples and the 'tree of knowledge'.
I don't think it is meant to be taken literally. The whole bit about the righteous suffering is obviously a poke at windows users; and satan is obviously a stand-in for billg. I don't get who God represents - maybe Gerstner?
Overall, a +1, it certainly isn't as dreary as watching Cringely suck off a dead man.
It might make me Cringe, lyve it alone please...
So, are we all just meant to believe that this guy lost it back in 1995 and took almost 16 years to find it? (Amazingly just after Job's death?) Not only that, but is also ready for commercial use? (I doubt they are going to play the RAW interview..)
Is this the same Cringely guy who turned down the shares at the beginning of Apple starting up? No wonder he's milking this for all it's worth.
You keep thinking you heard the word 'invent' when really it was 'innovate'.
All audience members will also be provided with a life-like latex cast of steve's balls to gargle.

Amazing amounts of hatred. Truly groundbreaking.
Slashdot - where whining about luck is the new way to make the world you want.
1995
Interviewer: "I'm joined today by Steve Jobs. Jobs is a successful, though highly unpleasant, businessman, currently in charge of NeXT Computer (he thought of the name after being booted out of Apple, because it was the 'NeXT' company he worked for. Genius).
"The inventor of the one-button mouse, locked-down user interface, and Rounded Corners, I meet Jobs in his office deep in the heart of his Redwood City lair, where he is engaged in randomly berating (in a super-stylish way) anyone within earshot for some real or imagined shortcomings. Wearing his trademarked black turtleneck sweater, Jobs quickly moves on to dictating his strategy for global domination to a couple of nervous-looking subordinates.
"As implausible as this sounds, he in convinced that within about 15 years or so, he will have returned to Apple and transformed them from an unpopular hardware manufacturer, routinely derided for favoring form over function into a popular hardware manufacturer, universally lauded for convincing everyone that form is function. Furthermore, he will invent a way to get millions of people to willingly hand over thousands of dollars each year, simply to use a telephone (although it's not known at this point whether these devices will actually be capable of making phone calls, but they'll definitely look great, and feature Jobs' patented Rounded Corners)!
"He will achieve this Miracle via the cultivation of a personal Reality Distortion Field that, he insists, will grow to encompass almost every wealthy suburb and urban loft-conversion across the US and Western Europe."
SNIP .. can't be bothered any more. Feel free to continue the interview below!
I just wish there were stories that put his innovation into perspective: he didn't do anything other than latch onto others creations and sell it.
Read the Biography. Jobs was much more than a salesman. He was intimately involved with the design of products from the Mac forward. Starting with the Mac he was constantly insisting on changes to the radius of curves in the plastic, he made so many suggestions about the design of the Mac Calculator that the engineer wrote a Calculator Construction kit, so Jobs could tweak the design until it was just right (which he did and this was the calculator for the next decade).
These are just a couple of anecdotes, and there are many out there, but it isn't the anecdotes that bring this home. You really need to read the biography to really understand the bigger picture of Steve Jobs.
Calling him just a salesman, is pure ignorance in action. Jobs was more intimately involved in product design than any CEO of his generation.
Worth it to get the message out?
How about you stop whining like a little bitch and just let people discuss what they want to discuss? What harm is it doing to you?
Go find a fuckin' pillow to cry in. Baby.
Not much why there. It looks more like rationalizing beating this dead horse showing 288 line analog VHS upconvert in a movie theater. Showing it in the theater gets more buzz (witness stories like this) for further monetizing it.
I find it quite distasteful.

Absolutely pathetic hero worship: and I use Apple products. Deifying the many in the black shirt is ridiculous at best.
Some of my all-time favorite music is poor quality live recordings.
There's a 3 disc Velvet Underground live album (Quine Tapes, volume 1) that is just mind-blowing, despite being some of the worst audio quality I've ever heard on a commercial disc release (IIRC, it was recorded on a stereo reel-reel and transfered to cassette at some point in the 1970s when the original open reel tapes started falling apart).
I have a couple of other bootlegs that might be worse, but not many. It seems like since the late 1980s that either audience recordings got a lot better or the bootlegs that bubble to the surface are soundboard sourced.
But even then, the mixes aren't always great for normal stereo reproduction or there's generational loss.
Get out your WoMD's. We will know where every Appletard in the US is on the release night! We finally will have our finest hour!
"And did I mention that getting a writing credit for a film opening in theaters finally qualifies me for group health insurance through the Writers Guild of America? I haven't been eligible for group health insurance since 1994."
