omg what a fantastic material, thanks for posting!!!!!! Genius documentary, loved it!
Well, I chose Amiga at the time. Never regretted that choice, even tho CBM (not Amiga Inc) proved to be the worst managed company in computer history.
fantastic videos, thanks for posting.
I’m really glad that the GUI was invented. I side with the Macintosh as far as using computers needs to be simple. Hopefully, interfaces become more and more transparent. By that I mean that you don’t realize that you are using an interface. It would ideally be a link directly between thought and output. Consider an output, and it becomes reality. Like the Force.
thumbs up if you watched the whole movie
Wozniak confirmed for coolest nerd of the show.
@iDraw3G He bought some algorithms from George Lucas… he didn’t buy any academy awards. Pixar as we know it today is really a Steve Jobs creation.
@sbmrunning i reckon watching this show on the net is enough of an update.
@colemckelvie Steve Jobs didn’t come up with Pixar, he bought it from George Lucas
@Samthebam4044 thats right but technology is always evolving, you can already make your own cloud and dont have to give any of your information to a third party vendor. I reckon its like any technology if theirs a demand for it there will always be fixes for those flaws.
@jt4life67 I am on a windows 7 PC and even I fin cloud computing rather uncomfortable, not smallest amount because your trusting your data and creations to another company storing it on thier servers and say they go out of affair some day next year! Then your absolutly f@cked.
@FastFreeLaptop you will still render it on you local machine, (with for example WebGL) but all will be stored in the “Cloud”
Imagine the lag you’d get cloud computing in 1995 over 56k modems… crazy Oracle
@Qualia its amusing because jobs said he was shameless in stealing thoughts, yet he is pissed when microsoft stole the proportaniate font spacing from apple?
@KreaTivTechTV steve jobs is the phil helmuth of the computer world
fantastic documentary and
thought of cloud computing is revolting to me in most part maybe excellent in backup
@DeadlyMACD You still won’t see it replace dedicated gaming hardware for some time to come. Maybe when contemporary level high end graphics cards can be integrated onto the motherboard. Maybe…
@FastFreeLaptop
there are companies working on the ability to bring latency free cloud computing to our homes. If there successful it will dramatically chat the types of internet together hardware we buy.
6:34 lol……..rofl……….
Thumbs up if your watching this on a microsoft pc!
@smirko no i reckon oracle recently bought a competitor data mining company
isnt oracle dead?
Very nice videos
Larry Ellison is an idiot. Gaming was already well on its way to mainstream popularity back when this was made. Today we have PC’s that are more powerful than ever trying to keep up with state of the art graphics in modern games. Also what in this area Xbox360, PS3, and Wii? Did he really reckon that mainframe supercomputers and the internet would be able to deliver an immersive 3d gaming experience without internet lag to all the homes that use this very commonplace technology today? What a fool.
It’s been more than ten years since this was made… everywhere’s the follow-up? lol
@AndrewFaulds It’s 1997 when steve returns
