Apple Computer was incorporated 35 years ago this week.
If you have read the biography of Steve Jobs you will think about how Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak made PCs out of Steve Jobs’ parents’ garage.
Here is a film all about Apple Computer and its role in our culture. Welcome to Macintosh on SnagFilms.com.

Yesterday was Steve Jobs Day in California.
Here is a beautiful video presentation; on Mashable; it is well done – graphics – video and words by Steve Jobs.
Some small closure to a great life. Enjoy and remember.
Stay foolish.
Failure is good.
Failure builds character. You learn from mistakes.
Second acts taste good.
Here is an article from Time – about failure from Ideas Week.
I am a little misquoted – probably my bad. I spoke about Apple and Steve Jobs – and how they failed with Lisa and with Newton; their first mobile device; failure drove them to next generation great success. See this one; Enjoy.
And Verizon Center.
No comments from me – just linking to this story on Steve Jobs from NBA.com.
For a long time saying an eco system and platform was closed was bad.
It was sneered at as a “walled garden” and a “church.”
The world it was said wanted a “bazaar.” Open. Free. Bedlam. “Let a thousand flowers bloom.”
AOL back in the day was cursed for being “A Walled Garden.” I understand why.
I remember ads that ran on television by clients that said for more information go to AOL Keyword “company name” or www.companyname.com.
That was laughable. Every company demanded to brand its url. AOL was in the way.
Read this article about Apple and Steve Jobs by Esther Dyson. Closed. Why? Because Steve was the best?
I think Facebook is closed as well. Not open. I smile when I see clients running ads now that say “See us on Facebook.” And they don’t publish an url for their website.
The most valuable company in the world and the next great company and business. Closed.
Maybe conventional wisdom about closed vs. open isn’t correct?
Maybe value is driven by curation and uniformity and care?
Maybe closed is the new open?
Steve Jobs is the narrator – love this one. This is special.
Quite moving and quite wonderful. Watch; Listen; Learn. Thank you. Click here to fire it up.
The passing of Steve Jobs is a deeply personal moment for so many people and for me.
He was only 56 years old. Life is short. His commencement speech at Stanford dwelled on this issue. You should watch it sometime – it was true genius.
I first met Steve Jobs in 1979. More than half my life ago!
Pretty much all of my professional life had Steve Jobs in the cloud; he and Apple were always there.
I love his products. I love his company.
He will be missed.
Watch this film. See what he created.
I am very sad today.
Steve Jobs was a giant.
His passing feels like a gigantic wake up call for so many people.
As Apple bumper stickers once proclaimed – ” The journey is the reward”.
RIP Steve Jobs.
I agree with the premise of this article very much.
Founder led companies do better than “professionally managed” companies.
As I have noted as an investor and as a part of senior executive teams, great break out companies need the strong point of view and strength of will and an innate sense of what to do authentically that usually only founders can provide. Founders almost always have the best interest of the company and its customers in mind.
Great founder – great company – great value.
Love the founders; keep them in place and build the teams around them!
