I Have Been in Meetings Where Steve Jobs…
- Discussed and asked questions about the clay content in paper from a supplier in Italy.
- He asked about thread count.
- Where he knew more about the type face and kerning than our production heads.
- He pulled out a loop to review the layout.
- Where he understood the process involved around the seven colors and spot varnish treatment around the Apple logo.
- Literally stared at a printed page for minutes and minutes getting a feel for what a laser printer output page would look and feel like to a consumer.
And this was in a set of meetings almost 20 years ago! Steve loves his products. He loves the process. He is meticulous and always has been.
Click here to read this interesting article. He has built the most valuable and beloved company in technology!
People that love their products and care about customers think and act this way. They are relentless.
Don’t make fun of my obsession over ketchup dispensers ever again! 
Nice Ad
Good story.
Well done Google.
I Was In NYC Yesterday
And everywhere I went - hotel lobbies, meeting rooms, trains - I saw people with their iPads.
IPads and iPhones are tools of the trade now for all business people.
People use their iPads as productivity tools as well as e-readers. And as fashion statements.
Here is a great film on Apple to remind us how fantastic this company is and how devoted Mac users have become. Click here to watch MacHeads.
Can You Say “Crushing It?”
More than $15 billion in revenue for the quarter.
More than $3 billion of profit for the quarter.
It sells everything it makes in high volume.
Its customers love its product and brand.
Wow — Apple Computer is now the best tech company out there. It has passed Microsoft and I think it has now passed Google as “best in class.”
Congratulations to Apple and to Steve Jobs. The best second act in history in the great American drama!
Apple Store in Georgetown
We all went to visit the new Apple store on Wisconsin Avenue in Georgetown on Saturday.
It is perfect, cool, trendy, authentic, and filled with students — AND 70′s themed rock music was being pumped out throughout the store.
The store itself is kinda gritty. It looks like a warehouse. It is open and boxy, and the doors were open so it made the store hot and sweaty. It had a rock concert vibe to it.
Apple has truly become the “coolest company” in the world. We are now a Mac family again.
The Great Switch
An amazing thing is happening. People who were Mac folks became Windows/PC folks are now going back to Macs in a big way.
My first computer was an Apple II.
I then had one of the first 100 Macs as an Apple developer back in 1983.
In the 90′s I switched. Apple had lost its way a bit. The Macs had become slow and PCs with Windows were everywhere. They were faster, better and cheaper. And there were more third party developers.
Third Screen Era in Place Now
Wow… that was fast.
We talked about the era of the third screen for thirty years. Eras where computers, televisions, and phones would all have high quality screens and delivery platforms that were “converged.” We talked and talked and then in the last 5 years– wow total consumer acceptance.
Isn’t it ironic that the three leaders in this space are a start up Blackberry, a web company-Google, and a pc software company-Apple?
Check out the growth of Apple Iphone. I believe they sold more than 8 million last quarter.
And Google’s Android beat them in terms of market share. Google is now number 2 in the space. Amazing progress. Where is Microsoft by the way? Read this article.
MacHeads Rejoice – iPad is Here
Love the concept and the design and the promise. Not sure I like the name. Sounds like a Jetson’s theme for swingers or something you do to the books if you work at AIG or a hygiene based product.
Check out the True/Slant take and watch the film on MacHeads. It is a religion now. Kudos to Steve Jobs for changing the way we work once again.
I am Loving My iPhone and I am Loving These Films
Here is another great film on Apple Computer and the Macintosh.
Gosh - this plays like a soundtrack to my life. I bought an Apple computer at the West Coast Computer Fair in 1980. I had one of the first Macintosh computers back in 1984. We did work for Guy Kawasaki for the Macintosh introduction in 1984. Guy is featured within.
These documentaries really remind me of the good old days of our industry. It also reminds us how important Apple is as a company to our generation.
Watch this film and enjoy. And I must admit that I am loving my iPhone.
