After hours of getting
this thing right...
3
00:00:33,992 --> 00:00:35,824
God, look at that.
Look, I'm on television.
4
00:00:35,953 --> 00:00:38,536
- MAN 1: Hey! Isn't that amazing?
- Yeah, it is.
5
00:00:38,664 --> 00:00:40,701
- You're on TV in New York, too.
- What's that?
6
00:00:40,832 --> 00:00:42,368
- You're on TV in New York, too.
- No, no.
7
00:00:42,543 --> 00:00:44,751
- Yes, you are.
- Am I really? Are you serious?
8
00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:47,120
- Yeah, they got you in New York.
- God.
9
00:00:51,134 --> 00:00:53,296
I'm gonna let you
put it in your own ear.
10
00:00:53,428 --> 00:00:54,635
- Really?
- It's a talk back.
11
00:00:54,763 --> 00:00:58,552
- They're going to talk to you.
- This is not the real thing, right?
12
00:00:58,684 --> 00:01:00,016
You just want a picture of me now?
13
00:01:00,185 --> 00:01:02,893
- They're going to sit you here first.
- God.
14
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:08,732
You need to tell me
where the restroom is, too,
15
00:01:08,860 --> 00:01:10,146
cos I'm deathly ill, actually,
16
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:11,902
and ready to throw up
at any moment, so...
17
00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:16,365
- It's right across the hall.
- Great. I'm not joking.
18
00:01:24,376 --> 00:01:27,619
MAN 2: We're ready to go, gentlemen.
New York's waiting for a shot of him.
19
00:01:58,744 --> 00:02:02,454
If you see in my eyes,
I've been crying just a little bit.
20
00:02:02,581 --> 00:02:05,619
And it seems really ridiculous
because I've never met the man.
21
00:02:05,751 --> 00:02:11,543
I know life is ephemeral,
but I just, you know,
22
00:02:11,673 --> 00:02:14,586
I expected him to be around
a little longer.
23
00:02:14,718 --> 00:02:17,005
Pretty sure everybody did,
but, you know...
24
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:21,131
The thing I'm using right now,
an iMac, he made.
25
00:02:21,266 --> 00:02:25,010
He made the iMac.
He made the Macbook.
26
00:02:25,145 --> 00:02:28,388
He made the Macbook Pro.
He made the Macbook Air.
27
00:02:28,523 --> 00:02:32,187
He made the iPhone.
He made the iPod.
28
00:02:34,029 --> 00:02:38,774
Yeah, he's made the iPod Touch.
He's made everything.

WOMAN 1: It's not often that the whole
planet seems to feel a loss together,
34
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:14,058
but after the death of Steve Jobs,
35
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:17,153
co-founder of Apple
and singular dreamer,
36
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,364
all day, we watched
as there was a kind of global wake.
37
00:03:20,492 --> 00:03:24,532
On Facebook, millions changing
their profiles to the Apple logo.
38
00:03:24,663 --> 00:03:28,156
A kind of black armband,

MAN: My favorite tweet last night

was four simple letters
simply saying, "iSad."
42
00:03:52,566 --> 00:03:53,852
Hi.
43
00:03:57,988 --> 00:04:01,152
NARRATOR: When Steve Jobs died,
I was mystified.
44
00:04:01,283 --> 00:04:05,072
What accounted for the grief of
millions of people who didn't know him?
45
00:04:05,203 --> 00:04:08,571
I'd seen it with John Lennon
and Martin Luther king,
46
00:04:08,707 --> 00:04:12,291
but Steve Jobs wasn't a singer
or a civil-rights leader.
47
00:04:13,503 --> 00:04:16,667
AL GORE: Many commentators
were surprised
48
00:04:16,798 --> 00:04:21,884
by the intensity and the power
of this wave of emotion.
49
00:04:22,012 --> 00:04:27,007
What was it?
And I think it was truly love.
50
00:04:27,142 --> 00:04:33,184
Jobs has proven to be the one
and only person in the world
51
00:04:33,315 --> 00:04:38,606
who can create
technology products that people love.
52
00:04:41,239 --> 00:04:42,901
Wall-E. (CHUCKLES)
53
00:04:43,784 --> 00:04:47,198
NARRATOR: I love "Wall-E,"
a film Jobs's Pixar produced,
54
00:04:47,329 --> 00:04:49,537
and I love my iPhone,
55
00:04:49,748 --> 00:04:54,038
but the grief for Jobs seemed to go
beyond the products he left behind.
56
00:04:54,169 --> 00:04:57,583
We mourned the man himself,
but why?
57
00:04:57,714 --> 00:05:01,879
Behind the scenes, Jobs could be
ruthless, deceitful and cruel.
58
00:05:02,010 --> 00:05:07,301
Yet he won our hearts by convincing us
that Apple represented a higher ideal.
59
00:05:07,432 --> 00:05:11,676
It was not like other companies.
It was different.
60
00:05:11,812 --> 00:05:12,893
(APPLAUSE)
61
00:05:13,730 --> 00:05:18,600
Good morning and welcome to Apple's
1984 annual shareholders' meeting.
62
00:05:18,735 --> 00:05:21,148
I'd like to open the meeting
with part of an old poem,
63
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,443
about a 20-year-old poem, by Dylan.
That's Bob Dylan.
64
00:05:26,493 --> 00:05:29,702
"Come writers and critics
who prophesize with your pens
65
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:32,413
and keep your eyes wide,
the chance won't come again."
66
00:05:32,582 --> 00:05:35,290
"And don't speak too soon
for the wheel's still in spin
67
00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:37,827
and there's no telling
who that it's naming."
68
00:05:37,963 --> 00:05:42,708
"For the loser now will be later to win,
for the times, they are a-changing."
69
00:05:42,926 --> 00:05:46,840
NARRATOR: Jobs loved Dylan
maybe because he wasn’t just one thing.
70
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:51,428
He was a storyteller who could
be whatever we wanted him to be.
71
00:05:52,644 --> 00:05:55,978
I don't even what know what
All Along The Watchtower means.
72
00:05:56,106 --> 00:05:58,393
I think it is one of
the most beautiful, haunting,
73
00:05:58,525 --> 00:06:04,317
brilliant pieces of poetry ever.
And to me, it's like Steve.
74
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:09,109
"There must be some way
out of here, said the..."
75
00:06:09,244 --> 00:06:10,244
(CHUCKLES) What is it?
76
00:06:10,287 --> 00:06:11,903
Said the Joker to the Thief.
77
00:06:12,247 --> 00:06:13,613
He's both.

Some way out of here"

♪ There's too much confusion
81
00:06:38,732 --> 00:06:40,564
♪ I can't get no relief

♪ Businessmen, they drink my wine

♪ None of them along the line

(MUSIC STOPS ABRUPTLY)
87
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:34,030
JOBS: There's something going on
here in life
88
00:07:34,162 --> 00:07:37,997
beyond just a job and a family
and career.
89
00:07:38,124 --> 00:07:40,867
There's another side of the coin.
90
00:07:44,339 --> 00:07:45,705
It's the same thing
91
00:07:45,882 --> 00:07:50,217
that causes people to want to be poets
instead of bankers.
92
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:57,301
And I think that that same spirit
can be put into products.
93
00:07:57,435 --> 00:07:59,893
And those products can be manufactured
and given to people,
94
00:08:00,021 --> 00:08:02,354
and they can sense that spirit.
95
00:08:05,652 --> 00:08:09,111
MAN: A computer is a straightforward,
everyday machine.
96
00:08:09,239 --> 00:08:11,982
A simple way of studying
the principle of how it works
97
00:08:12,117 --> 00:08:15,235
is that a computer is quite dead.
98
00:08:15,370 --> 00:08:18,408
It can do nothing without
someone to give instructions.
99
00:08:20,375 --> 00:08:23,539
NARRATOR: When I was growing up,
computers weren't something to love.
100
00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:25,457
They were something to fear.
101
00:08:25,588 --> 00:08:29,878
They were huge, impersonal,
made by faceless corporations.
102
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:33,128
But for Jobs, it was different.
103
00:08:33,263 --> 00:08:36,176
I saw my first computer
when I was 12 at NASA.
104
00:08:36,307 --> 00:08:39,641
JOBS: We had a local NASA center
nearby. It was a terminal,
105
00:08:39,811 --> 00:08:42,178
which was connected
to a big computer somewhere.
106
00:08:42,313 --> 00:08:45,101
This is one of the consoles
they might be using in the future.
107
00:08:45,275 --> 00:08:47,437
It looks very much like
just a regular typewriter.
108
00:08:47,569 --> 00:08:49,026
Too often the equipment of the past
109
00:08:49,154 --> 00:08:51,020
has sort of been designed
for other machines.
110
00:08:51,156 --> 00:08:52,317
They're really not for people.
111
00:08:52,449 --> 00:08:57,035
JOBS: I saw my second computer a few
years later, the Hewlett-Packard 9100.
112
00:08:57,162 --> 00:08:59,950
The 9100 computing calculator.
113
00:09:00,081 --> 00:09:05,076
It was very large. Had a very small
cathode ray tube on it for display.
114
00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:08,830
And I got a chance to play with
one of those maybe in 1968.
115
00:09:08,965 --> 00:09:10,501
I started going up
116
00:09:10,633 --> 00:09:13,751
to Hewlett-Packard's Palo Alto
research lab every Tuesday night,
117
00:09:13,887 --> 00:09:18,052
and I spent every spare moment I had
trying to write programs for it.
118
00:09:18,183 --> 00:09:19,264
I was so fascinated by this.
119
00:09:21,478 --> 00:09:23,936
MAN: We have a pointing device
called a mouse.
120
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:25,646
I don't know why we call it a mouse.
121
00:09:25,815 --> 00:09:30,185
NARRATOR: By 1968, Stanford's
Doug Engelbart, inventor of the mouse,
122
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,856
was asking new questions
123
00:09:31,988 --> 00:09:36,232
about the essential nature of our
changing relationship with computers.
124
00:09:36,367 --> 00:09:39,986
If in your office,
you as an intellectual worker
125
00:09:40,121 --> 00:09:42,955
were supplied with a computer display
126
00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:47,202
backed up by a computer
that was alive for you all day
127
00:09:47,337 --> 00:09:51,581
and was instantly responsible,
responsive,
128
00:09:51,716 --> 00:09:53,924
instantly responsive
to every action you had,
129
00:09:54,094 --> 00:09:56,051
how much value
could you derive from that?
130
00:09:56,221 --> 00:10:00,181
NARRATOR: We needed a guide to help us
navigate this new relationship.
131
00:10:03,228 --> 00:10:08,269
JOBS: My whole adult life has been spent
building personal computers.
132
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:13,440
So, the history of my vocation
and my avocations
133
00:10:13,571 --> 00:10:16,905
and, you know,
my growing up are all the same,
134
00:10:17,075 --> 00:10:19,738
and it's very hard
to separate one from the other.
135
00:10:29,045 --> 00:10:31,879
MAN: I come from a place called
Silicon Valley, California,
136
00:10:32,006 --> 00:10:34,999
and you'll find there are
a lot of electronics kits around.
137
00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:39,049
My electronics teacher realized
that I had a lot of computer ability
138
00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:41,547
that went beyond anything he could
possibly teach me in school.
139
00:10:41,683 --> 00:10:45,222
He knew that as long as I was in class,
I was just going to sit around,
140
00:10:45,353 --> 00:10:47,185
playing pranks on the other students
141
00:10:47,397 --> 00:10:49,764
like wrapping little hair wires
around certain circuits
142
00:10:49,899 --> 00:10:52,141
so when they plugged in their radio,
it would blow up.
143
00:10:52,277 --> 00:10:53,313
(LAUGHTER)
144
00:10:58,241 --> 00:10:59,823
WOZNIAK: As hard as I think about it,
145
00:10:59,993 --> 00:11:02,406
I don't think I ever had one friend
who was not one of the tech kids.
146
00:11:03,955 --> 00:11:07,448
JOBS: I met Woz when I was maybe
12 years old, 13 years old.
147
00:11:07,584 --> 00:11:10,292
He was the first person I met
that knew more electronics than I did.
148
00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:14,755
And one of the things that Woz and I did
was we built blue boxes.
149
00:11:19,095 --> 00:11:20,961
WOZNIAK: One day
I picked up a magazine,
150
00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:25,341
and I started reading a story
about phone phreaks and blue boxes.
151
00:11:27,395 --> 00:11:29,557
REPORTER: When phone phreaks
have a convention,
152
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:33,433
as they did in the ballroom
of a seedy New York hotel lately,
153
00:11:33,568 --> 00:11:38,188
masks are given out at the door.
People don't give their right names.
154
00:11:38,364 --> 00:11:43,280
The blue box was a little device that
put special tones into anybody's phone
155
00:11:43,411 --> 00:11:46,700
and those tones would connect you
anywhere you wanted.
156
00:11:46,831 --> 00:11:49,619
Halfway through reading this,
I called Steve Jobs over
157
00:11:49,792 --> 00:11:52,751
and started reading it to him
over the phone.
158
00:11:52,962 --> 00:11:55,830
There's a way to fool
the entire telephone system
159
00:11:56,007 --> 00:11:58,169
into thinking you were
a telephone computer
160
00:11:58,301 --> 00:12:01,294
and to open up itself and let you call
anywhere in the world for free.
161
00:12:01,429 --> 00:12:05,139
JOBS: You could call from a pay phone,
go to White Plains, New York,
162
00:12:05,266 --> 00:12:06,757
take a satellite to Europe.
163
00:12:06,893 --> 00:12:09,476
And you'd go around the world
and call the pay phone next door.
164
00:12:09,646 --> 00:12:11,729
Shout in the phone,
be about 30 seconds,
165
00:12:11,856 --> 00:12:13,597
it'd come out the other end
of the other phone.
166
00:12:13,775 --> 00:12:17,519
And he's like, "Hello,"
There's a lag and, "Hello, how are you?"
167
00:12:17,654 --> 00:12:19,361
"I'm fine." You know?
168
00:12:19,489 --> 00:12:22,903
REPORTER: Why, one might wonder,
would someone want to do that?
169
00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:25,363
To rip off the phone company.
170
00:12:25,495 --> 00:12:27,657
And these were illegal, I have to add.
171
00:12:27,789 --> 00:12:29,781
(BEEPING)
172
00:12:29,916 --> 00:12:33,500
NARRATOR: In college, I had a blue box
of my own. It was important
173
00:12:33,628 --> 00:12:37,212
because long-distance phone calls
were really expensive back then.
174
00:12:38,633 --> 00:12:41,842
It was also a way
of sticking it to the man.
175
00:12:42,095 --> 00:12:45,714
This would become an important
selling point for Jobs, too,
176
00:12:45,848 --> 00:12:49,558
even as he left
the technical work to others.
177
00:12:49,686 --> 00:12:51,643
WOZNIAK:
Well, I had this blue box design.
178
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:54,058
I did a trick in there
that I've never done that good a trick
179
00:12:54,190 --> 00:12:55,647
in any other design in my life.
180
00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:59,735
And Steve Jobs said,
"Hey, why don't we sell them?"
181
00:12:59,862 --> 00:13:02,229
JOBS: You know, you rapidly run
out of people you want to call,
182
00:13:02,365 --> 00:13:05,449
but it was the magic that two teenagers
183
00:13:05,576 --> 00:13:08,284
could build this box
for $100 worth of parts
184
00:13:08,413 --> 00:13:13,533
and control hundreds of billions
of dollars of infrastructure
185
00:13:13,668 --> 00:13:16,502
in the entire telephone network
in the whole world.
186
00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:22,755
We could sort of influence the world,
you know?
187
00:13:22,885 --> 00:13:24,547
Control it, in the case of blue boxes,
188
00:13:24,721 --> 00:13:27,134
but something much more powerful
than controlling.
189
00:13:27,265 --> 00:13:32,226
Influencing, in the case of Apple.
And they're very closely related.
190
00:13:32,353 --> 00:13:33,810
I really do, to this day,
191
00:13:33,938 --> 00:13:37,147
feel that if we hadn't had had
those blue box experiences,
192
00:13:37,358 --> 00:13:39,645
there never would have been
an Apple computer.
193
00:13:39,777 --> 00:13:41,939
MAN: I think Jobs
was always a storyteller.
194
00:13:42,113 --> 00:13:45,948
There was always this sense
that he was constructing a persona.
195
00:13:47,327 --> 00:13:50,070
The first time I sat down
with him to work on a story,
196
00:13:50,204 --> 00:13:52,321
he immediately asked me
if I had read.
197
00:13:52,457 --> 00:13:57,577
Thomas Kuhn's "The Structure
of Scientific Revolutions."
198
00:13:57,712 --> 00:14:00,455
I think he was assimilating
into this personality,
199
00:14:00,590 --> 00:14:02,923
this notion that he had found in Kuhn.
200
00:14:03,092 --> 00:14:06,210
The random result
that eventually creates
201
00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:08,963
a paradigm shift where everybody
one morning wakes up,
202
00:14:09,140 --> 00:14:10,881
and they think the new way.
203
00:14:11,017 --> 00:14:15,136
And I believe that he thought
that he was a paradigm shifter.
204
00:14:15,271 --> 00:14:19,231
That was part of his story. He wanted
to have a foot in both worlds.
205
00:14:19,359 --> 00:14:22,943
He wanted to be the renegade,
but he also wanted to be legit.

MAN: Can we just sort of briefly go over
your employment history after 1973?
209
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:45,546
I was employed by Atari,
a maker of video games.
210
00:14:47,387 --> 00:14:51,757
- What timeframe?
- I don't know. Early '70s.

Creativity is a lot about anarchy.
213
00:15:10,952 --> 00:15:13,410
I had been in the video-game
business two years
214
00:15:13,538 --> 00:15:18,533
and our corporate culture
was really "work hard, play hard."

216
00:15:20,878 --> 00:15:23,746
literally takes place
before the company is founded.
217
00:15:23,881 --> 00:15:27,465
Jobs had left Reed College
and now he was back in Silicon Valley.
218
00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:29,676
Woz was working at HP.
219
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:31,215
WOZNIAK: I was such a nerd.
220
00:15:31,347 --> 00:15:34,340
When I finished designing calculators
at Hewlett-Packard in the daytime,
221
00:15:34,475 --> 00:15:36,182
I would work on my own little projects.
222
00:15:36,310 --> 00:15:38,518
I saw "Pong" in a bowling alley,
and I said,
223
00:15:38,646 --> 00:15:41,605
"I know logic design,
and I know electronics of televisions."
224
00:15:41,732 --> 00:15:46,773
"I'll use my home TV, snake a wire in,"
and I built myself a "Pong."
225
00:15:46,904 --> 00:15:48,611
Steve came back from Reed College
226
00:15:48,739 --> 00:15:51,322
and saw that I had built
my own Pong game.
227
00:15:51,451 --> 00:15:54,239
And so that gave him the idea
to go down to Atari.
228
00:15:54,370 --> 00:15:56,737
And he went down,
and he showed them the board
229
00:15:56,914 --> 00:15:58,450
and he wound up with a job.
230
00:15:58,583 --> 00:16:01,747
Steve came in and said,
in typical Steve Jobs fashion,
231
00:16:01,878 --> 00:16:03,710
"I'm not going to leave
until you hire me."
232
00:16:03,838 --> 00:16:10,506
And I really appreciated his intensity.
He had one speed. Full on.
233
00:16:10,636 --> 00:16:13,970
I had one little project
that everyone kept turning down.
234
00:16:14,098 --> 00:16:15,805
It was a project called "Breakout."
235
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:19,017
And finally I said,
"Steve, hey, do this for me."
236
00:16:19,145 --> 00:16:20,431
In the back of my mind,
237
00:16:20,563 --> 00:16:26,480
I knew that Woz was coming over all
the time after working at HP all day,
238
00:16:26,611 --> 00:16:30,230
and I thought,
"OK, I'll put Steve on the night shift."
239
00:16:30,448 --> 00:16:33,486
"Woz will come over. I'll get
two Steves for the price of one."
240
00:16:33,618 --> 00:16:37,407
WOZNIAK: Steve said, "Nolan Bushnell
of Atari wants another game built."
241
00:16:37,538 --> 00:16:39,495
But we only had four days, Steve said.
242
00:16:39,624 --> 00:16:42,458
When a game is made out of chips
and it's not a program,
243
00:16:42,585 --> 00:16:45,749
four days is, like, impossible.
This is months' worth of work.
244
00:16:47,757 --> 00:16:48,793
I did the entire design,
245
00:16:48,925 --> 00:16:51,542
and then Steve would breadboard
my design for a little while.
246
00:16:52,553 --> 00:16:56,968
We were up four days and nights
non-stop. Both got mononucleosis.
247
00:16:57,099 --> 00:17:00,012
And we got "Breakout" delivered
to Atari, and they paid for it.

BUSHNELL: Later on,
Woz and I were out to dinner.
251
00:17:07,777 --> 00:17:10,144
He was talking about Breakout,
252
00:17:10,321 --> 00:17:13,530
and I said, "Well, you know,
you guys got paid pretty well for it."
253
00:17:13,658 --> 00:17:16,275
He looked at me puzzled, and I said,
254
00:17:16,410 --> 00:17:19,574
"Yeah, I mean,
you did such a good job."
255
00:17:19,705 --> 00:17:24,791
"I think there was at least
a $5,000 bonus that you guys got."
256
00:17:24,919 --> 00:17:28,788
So, yeah, he was paid $7,000,
and he told me that we were paid $700,
257
00:17:28,923 --> 00:17:30,915
and he wrote me a check for $350.
258
00:17:32,134 --> 00:17:34,217
You know, and that hurts
because we were friends.
259
00:17:34,387 --> 00:17:36,549
And do you do that to a friend?
260
00:17:36,681 --> 00:17:39,765
If he'd said, "I need the money,"
I would have said, "Take it all."
261
00:17:39,892 --> 00:17:42,509
I was happy to be on the project.
262
00:17:42,645 --> 00:17:45,228
I think that Steve...
263
00:17:47,316 --> 00:17:50,354
was very driven
264
00:17:50,486 --> 00:17:57,279
and would very often take
shortcuts to achieve his goals.

MAN: Apple was a sitcom.
It was a 30-year sitcom.
269
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:21,681
And Steve was the main character.
270
00:18:25,187 --> 00:18:28,396
This was written in December 1976.
271
00:18:28,524 --> 00:18:32,734
In fact it starts out saying,
"Who's Apple," so that was very early.
272
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:39,241
He and Woz came in.
Steve had long hair down his back.
273
00:18:39,410 --> 00:18:44,371
He had a Ho Chi Minh beard,
cutoffs, Birkenstocks.
274
00:18:44,498 --> 00:18:48,367
And Wozniak was maybe a little bit
upscale from that, but not much.
275
00:18:48,502 --> 00:18:50,619
I used to like Intel's advertising,
276
00:18:50,755 --> 00:18:53,748
So I called them up one day,
and I said, "Who does your advertising?"
277
00:18:53,883 --> 00:18:56,796
They said, "Well, Regis McKenna."
"What's a Regis McKenna?"
278
00:18:56,927 --> 00:18:58,759
(LAUGHS) They said, "No, it's a person."
279
00:18:58,888 --> 00:19:02,677
MCKENNA: Wozniak had a technical article
on the Apple II.
280
00:19:02,808 --> 00:19:05,767
He wanted us to try to get it
placed into a magazine.
281
00:19:05,895 --> 00:19:10,265
Nobody could read it. It was
all technical jargon and so forth.
282
00:19:10,441 --> 00:19:12,353
And so I told him
I'd have to rewrite it,
283
00:19:12,485 --> 00:19:14,522
and he wasn't happy about that.
284
00:19:14,654 --> 00:19:16,771
He said, "No one's going to rewrite
my stuff."
285
00:19:16,906 --> 00:19:18,863
I said, "Well,
then there's nothing I can do for you",
286
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:20,107
so you might as well leave."
287
00:19:20,284 --> 00:19:23,527
Steve called back,
and he pretty much convinced me
288
00:19:23,663 --> 00:19:25,780
that he would be the person
that we'd be dealing with
289
00:19:25,915 --> 00:19:28,874
and that Wozniak would be designing
and building things,
290
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:30,867
which is the way it happens
in most businesses.
291
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:32,710
The engineers are more back room
292
00:19:32,922 --> 00:19:36,666
and you work with either the
entrepreneur or the marketing people.
293
00:19:38,094 --> 00:19:40,461
PRODUCER: Did you think early on
that Steve could be the guy?
294
00:19:40,596 --> 00:19:44,260
Oh, definitely. You just had to spend
a few minutes with him and you knew it.
295
00:19:44,433 --> 00:19:45,799
He had the ability
296
00:19:45,935 --> 00:19:49,849
to talk about the possibility
of what this computer could be.
297
00:19:49,980 --> 00:19:53,815
And I think the key is not just
talking about the product,
298
00:19:53,943 --> 00:19:59,029
but giving you an idea
of what is possible using this product
299
00:19:59,156 --> 00:20:02,240
and what the next generation
is going to be like.
300
00:20:02,368 --> 00:20:06,203
So he gives people this feeling
of forward movement.
301
00:20:06,330 --> 00:20:09,118
- How many calculators do you own?
- MAN: Two, maybe.
302
00:20:09,291 --> 00:20:11,954
Right, and do you use
the automatic bank-telling machines?
303
00:20:12,086 --> 00:20:14,373
- Sure.
- Life is already seducing you
304
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:17,748
into learning this stuff.
It's not going to happen at once,
305
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:21,297
and it's certainly not
a 1984-ish vision at all.
306
00:20:21,470 --> 00:20:24,178
It's just going to be very gradual
and very human
307
00:20:24,306 --> 00:20:26,798
and will seduce you
into learning how to use it.
308
00:20:28,978 --> 00:20:31,971
MCKENNA: Transitioning from a hobby
to a personal computer,
309
00:20:32,106 --> 00:20:34,769
that whole idea was driven by Steve.
310
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,108
He was trying to say
we need to differentiate ourselves
311
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:38,898
and really move out
of this hobbyist realm.
312
00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:41,897
It ended up
coming out of the room saying,
313
00:20:42,032 --> 00:20:44,820
"We're going to call ourselves
the personal computer."
314

with more and more people
jumping aboard every day.
319
00:20:56,380 --> 00:21:00,044
I use my computer right now
for mostly word processing.
320
00:21:00,176 --> 00:21:03,886
I use it for solar evaluation programs.
321
00:21:04,013 --> 00:21:06,130
We put our entire accounting system
on it.
322
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:08,052

00:21:15,691 --> 00:21:18,149
- Electronic mail.
- A guy can be creative on it.
328
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:20,519
I mean, he can use it
for whatever he can dream up.
329
00:21:20,654 --> 00:21:22,611
This is a 21st-century bicycle
330
00:21:22,740 --> 00:21:26,609
that amplifies a certain intellectual
ability that man has.
331
00:21:26,744 --> 00:21:29,578
The effects that it's going to
have on society
332
00:21:29,705 --> 00:21:31,287
are actually going to far outstrip
333
00:21:31,415 --> 00:21:34,032
even those that the petrochemical
revolution has had.
334
00:21:34,168 --> 00:21:35,168
Time magazine, I think,
335
00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:39,664
said single-handedly he created
the industry because he was relentless.
336
00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:44,592
MAN: The powers that be
of "Time" magazine
337
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:50,182
decided that they would make
the Man of the Year that particular year
338
00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:52,551
the Computer of the Year.
339
00:21:52,686 --> 00:21:56,054
I was transferred to the bureau
in San Francisco.
340
00:21:56,190 --> 00:21:59,354
And gradually I began to cotton on
to the fact
341
00:21:59,485 --> 00:22:04,025
that there were a lot of stories
in this part of California
342
00:22:04,156 --> 00:22:08,196
between San Jose
and San Francisco
343
00:22:08,327 --> 00:22:09,943
about these odd, little companies
344
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:13,072
that people on the East Coast
at that point
345
00:22:13,207 --> 00:22:16,666
hadn't heard about
and really didn't care about.
346
00:22:16,794 --> 00:22:18,877
And then I got very interested in Apple
347
00:22:19,004 --> 00:22:23,715
and Steve was,
of the early characters in the company,
348
00:22:23,926 --> 00:22:28,967
the most articulate and the most
interesting and the oddest.
349
00:22:29,098 --> 00:22:33,012
REPORTER: Steven Jobs helped build
the first Apple computer in his garage.
350
00:22:33,143 --> 00:22:36,181
He is now 26 years old
and is chairman of the board.
351
00:22:37,314 --> 00:22:38,725
MCKENNA: There was some debate
352
00:22:38,858 --> 00:22:40,975
over whether or not
they should use the name "Apple."
353
00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:43,944
You know, the whole model
of the computer industry
354
00:22:44,071 --> 00:22:45,733
and the computer business was IBM.
355
00:22:45,865 --> 00:22:50,656
MAN: Another business service of
tomorrow made possible today by IBM.
356
00:22:50,786 --> 00:22:53,403
IBM was an anonymous organization.
357
00:22:53,539 --> 00:22:56,703
No one knew who the president was.
They probably had no idea.
358
00:22:56,834 --> 00:23:02,000
The IBM logo looked like it was
carved out of Roman marble, you know?
359
00:23:02,131 --> 00:23:04,839
It was just
this monolithic kind of thing.
360
00:23:04,967 --> 00:23:07,835
And we took just the opposite,
which was,
361
00:23:07,970 --> 00:23:11,259
"Let's make Steve very high profile.
Let's tell our story."
362
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:14,224
REPORTER: Working in this garage,
Jobs and a high-school classmate
363
00:23:14,351 --> 00:23:16,684
quit their positions
at large electronic companies,
364
00:23:16,812 --> 00:23:21,432
and using tiny silicon chips,
built this small computer board.
365
00:23:26,780 --> 00:23:31,400
MCKENNA: Funny, the garage story was
less of a feature in those early days.
366
00:23:31,577 --> 00:23:34,115
It later on became more of a look back
367
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:39,037
when people started doing stories
on the background, and so forth.
368
00:23:39,168 --> 00:23:45,165
You know, I told Steve this,
and most of my clients in fact,
369
00:23:45,299 --> 00:23:49,168
there's a song in Fiddler on the Roof
that Tevye sings.
370
00:23:49,303 --> 00:23:53,673
He says, "If I were a rich man."
And he said, "I'd sit in the temple,
371
00:23:53,807 --> 00:23:56,891
and I'd lecture to the wise men
all day long,
372
00:23:57,019 --> 00:23:58,976
"and it wouldn't matter
if you're right or wrong."
373
00:23:59,104 --> 00:24:00,766
"When you're rich,
they think you know."
374
00:24:00,898 --> 00:24:02,514
So, in a technology business,
375
00:24:02,691 --> 00:24:06,526
you have to show that you are successful
in order to have a platform.
376
00:24:06,695 --> 00:24:09,233
REPORTER: It led to
a quarter-billion-dollar business
377
00:24:09,365 --> 00:24:13,325
and the most popular typewriter-sized
computer on the market today.
378
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:16,240
MAN: Steve Jobs,
I realize this is your baby,
379
00:24:16,413 --> 00:24:17,949
and you've made a career out of it,
380
00:24:18,082 --> 00:24:20,540
but you're also
something of a philosopher.
381
00:24:20,709 --> 00:24:24,794
Do you see the inherent possibility
of bad coming out of all of this?
382
00:24:24,922 --> 00:24:27,255
Well, I think one of the things
you really have to look at
383
00:24:27,383 --> 00:24:30,091
is you have to go watch
some kids using these things.
384
00:24:30,219 --> 00:24:33,383
And what you find is far
from something quite harmful.
385
00:24:33,514 --> 00:24:35,005
In effect, what you see
386
00:24:35,182 --> 00:24:38,971
is an instantaneous reflection
of a part of themselves,
387
00:24:39,103 --> 00:24:41,561
the creative part of themselves
being expressed.
388
00:24:49,530 --> 00:24:51,988
WOMAN: He was going for a computer
389
00:24:52,116 --> 00:24:56,235
that really felt like
an extension of the self.
390
00:24:56,370 --> 00:25:00,284
That's what people wanted, and I think
he sensed that. He knew that.
391
00:25:01,417 --> 00:25:05,832
My first book on the computer culture
was called "The Second Self."
392
00:25:05,963 --> 00:25:07,920
The key quote
that gave me the title was,
393
00:25:08,048 --> 00:25:10,631
"When you think of a computer,"
394
00:25:10,801 --> 00:25:14,841
you put a little piece of your mind
into the computer's mind,
395
00:25:14,972 --> 00:25:17,259
"and you come to think
of yourself differently."
396
00:25:17,391 --> 00:25:23,012
Our whole company,
our whole philosophical base,
397
00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:27,273
is founded on one principle.
And that one principle
398
00:25:27,401 --> 00:25:32,271
is that there's something very special
and very historically different
399
00:25:32,406 --> 00:25:36,867
that takes place when you have
one computer and one person.
400
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:40,703
PRODUCER: Did you have an opportunity
to meet Jobs?
401
00:25:40,914 --> 00:25:43,156
TURKLE: Yes,
I met him on several occasions.
402
00:25:43,292 --> 00:25:45,284
PRODUCER: And did you sense
from talking to him
403
00:25:45,419 --> 00:25:47,502
that he really did understand
what he was doing?
404
00:25:47,629 --> 00:25:49,791
I think he understood what he was doing.
405
00:25:51,008 --> 00:25:54,297
He knew
he had created something intimate
406
00:25:54,511 --> 00:25:57,504
and that could be sold
as something intimate.
407
00:25:57,639 --> 00:26:00,222
And it would be you.
I mean, it would be for you.
408
00:26:00,350 --> 00:26:04,469
It wasn't just for you. It was you.
409
00:26:10,486 --> 00:26:12,728
PRODUCER: Can you just show me
the front of it?
410
00:26:12,905 --> 00:26:15,693
That's the part
that most people would recognize.
411
00:26:15,824 --> 00:26:19,568
This is a piece that everybody
remembers from the ads,
412
00:26:19,703 --> 00:26:23,322
from the Time magazine cover
with Steve holding it in his lap.
413
00:26:26,168 --> 00:26:29,411
And this is the famous beige that
we're never going to have any more of.
414
00:26:29,546 --> 00:26:31,208
He hated this even at this time,
415
00:26:31,340 --> 00:26:34,708
but we were kind of stuck with it
by the time we got there.
416
00:26:37,638 --> 00:26:40,176
It was a fun little machine.
417
00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:48,187
He called me just out of the blue.
I was working at Xerox.
418
00:26:49,358 --> 00:26:52,317
And I picked up the phone,
and it was Steve Jobs.
419
00:26:52,444 --> 00:26:55,937
And he said, "I hear you're a good guy",
420
00:26:56,073 --> 00:26:59,487
but everything you've done so far
is crap. Come work for me."
421
00:27:00,869 --> 00:27:05,113
I told my wife at the time.
I said, "Well, what could happen?"
422
00:27:05,249 --> 00:27:06,911
"How bad could this be?"
423
00:27:07,042 --> 00:27:08,999
(LAUGHS)
424
00:27:09,128 --> 00:27:11,370
I didn't realize how bad it could be.
425
00:27:15,092 --> 00:27:17,254
First trip Steve ever made to Japan
426
00:27:17,386 --> 00:27:20,424
was to see what we could do about
getting a disc drive for the machine.
427
00:27:20,556 --> 00:27:25,517
And we saw the Sony disc facility
in Atsugi, Japan.
428
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:30,810
He had a lot of affection for Sony
because the Walkman was a machine
429
00:27:30,983 --> 00:27:33,020
that he just thought
was the bee's knees.
430
00:27:33,152 --> 00:27:36,065
♪ You really feel the music
with a Sony Walkman
431
00:27:36,196 --> 00:27:39,564
MAN: The Sony Walkman is
a tiny stereo cassette player
432
00:27:39,741 --> 00:27:42,154
with truly incredible sound.
433
00:27:42,286 --> 00:27:44,744
♪ You really feel the music
You really feel it
434
00:27:44,955 --> 00:27:47,368
I think it was the first product
in human history
435
00:27:47,499 --> 00:27:50,742
that went over a billion units.
That he liked.
436
00:27:51,795 --> 00:27:54,333
One of things that Steve thought
was important,
437
00:27:54,464 --> 00:27:56,126
and Jerry Manock facilitated it,
438
00:27:56,258 --> 00:27:58,671
was this is
where all the signatures are.
439
00:27:58,802 --> 00:28:02,295
And they're all the people,
the original group,
440
00:28:02,431 --> 00:28:08,974
that actually signed the machine.
There's Steve Jobs right in the middle.
441
00:28:10,105 --> 00:28:11,937
My name is over here.
442
00:28:12,107 --> 00:28:13,598
MAN: Why did you do that?
443
00:28:13,734 --> 00:28:17,569
Because the people that worked
on it consider themselves,
444
00:28:17,696 --> 00:28:20,154
and I certainly consider them, artists.
445
00:28:20,282 --> 00:28:22,649
These are the people that
under different circumstances
446
00:28:22,784 --> 00:28:26,994
would be painters and poets, but,
because of the time that we live in,
447
00:28:27,122 --> 00:28:29,239
this new medium has appeared
448
00:28:29,374 --> 00:28:32,538
in which to express oneself
to one's fellow species.
449
00:28:32,669 --> 00:28:36,037
And that's a medium of computing.
450
00:28:41,595 --> 00:28:45,214
BELLEVILLE: We would sit
in the temples in Kyoto,
451
00:28:45,349 --> 00:28:49,719
just taking off our shoes at the door
and sitting.
452
00:28:49,853 --> 00:28:51,310
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
453
00:29:03,659 --> 00:29:07,323
PRODUCER: Did he take from that any
kind of aesthetic vision, do you think?
454
00:29:07,454 --> 00:29:11,573
BELLEVILLE: I think certainly.
A simplicity.
455
00:29:13,085 --> 00:29:16,044
Just feeling that inner calm
456
00:29:16,171 --> 00:29:20,290
that's so available
at some places in Japan.
457
00:29:22,386 --> 00:29:25,925
He was a very much a person
who was comfortable in silence.
458
00:29:36,066 --> 00:29:40,777
Steve ruled by a kind of a chaos.
And it's easy to make chaos,
459
00:29:40,904 --> 00:29:44,818
and if you're comfortable with it,
you can use it as a tool.
460
00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:48,114
And he used a vast number
of really irritating tools
461
00:29:48,245 --> 00:29:52,615
to get other people involved
in his schemes.
462
00:29:52,749 --> 00:29:59,747
He's seducing you, he's vilifying you
and he's ignoring you.
463
00:29:59,881 --> 00:30:01,588
You're in one of those three states.
464
00:30:01,717 --> 00:30:03,800
(LAUGHTER)
465
00:30:03,927 --> 00:30:07,967
JOBS: When you get a core group of,
you know, ten great people,
466
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:12,601
it becomes self-policing
as to who they let into that group.
467
00:30:12,728 --> 00:30:18,144
So, I consider the most important job
of someone like myself is recruiting.
468
00:30:18,358 --> 00:30:21,851
MAN: Steve Jobs brought us all together
in a place that had no rules.
469
00:30:21,987 --> 00:30:26,448
He's a maniac. He's a maniacal genius.
His job is to stir up everything.
470
00:30:26,575 --> 00:30:29,909
JOBS: Most places in life
are continuously telling you
471
00:30:30,078 --> 00:30:32,286
that your dreams aren't possible
or practical.
472
00:30:32,414 --> 00:30:34,451
You don't want to hear that
when you're under 30.
473
00:30:34,583 --> 00:30:36,245
What you want to do is race after them.
474
00:30:36,376 --> 00:30:37,867
You ask yourself, why are you doing it?
475
00:30:38,086 --> 00:30:39,873
I'm certainly not doing it
for Steve Jobs.
476
00:30:40,005 --> 00:30:42,588
I'm doing it for what I think is
a much greater good than that.
477
00:30:42,716 --> 00:30:45,959
Everybody just wanted to work, not
because it was work that had to be done,
478
00:30:46,136 --> 00:30:48,503
but it was because it was something
that we really believed in.
479
00:30:48,638 --> 00:30:54,134
Here is how we see personal computers.
Here is how we want the world to be.
480
00:30:54,269 --> 00:30:56,761
And here's how we're going to change it.
481
00:30:56,897 --> 00:30:58,479
We have a vision
of what we want it to be.
482
00:30:58,607 --> 00:31:00,974
We want to convert people.
We want to make converts.
483
00:31:01,151 --> 00:31:04,144
BELLEVILLE: I felt my job at Macintosh
484
00:31:04,279 --> 00:31:07,738
was to make the division
work smoothly enough
485
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:11,701
that we could actually get this thing
from really a mess of kids
486
00:31:11,828 --> 00:31:14,536
playing around with a bunch
of hardware and software
487
00:31:14,664 --> 00:31:17,327
into something that would be
a commercial product.
488
00:31:17,459 --> 00:31:20,122
And that's what I did.
I got that machine finished.
489
00:31:29,012 --> 00:31:32,505
JOBS: It is now 1984.

00:31:32,641 --> 00:31:35,475
IBM became the apparent visible threat.
491
00:31:35,602 --> 00:31:38,561
IBM wants it all,
and is aiming its guns
492
00:31:38,688 --> 00:31:43,023
on its last obstacle
to industry control. Apple.
493
00:31:43,151 --> 00:31:46,485
Will Big Blue dominate
the entire computer industry?
494
00:31:46,613 --> 00:31:50,448
The entire information age?
Was George Orwell right?
495
00:31:51,618 --> 00:31:55,453
MAN: Today, we celebrate
the first glorious anniversary
496
00:31:55,580 --> 00:31:58,448
over the information
purification directives.
497
00:31:58,583 --> 00:32:01,542
MCKENNA: That ad was again
a juxtaposition with IBM.
498
00:32:01,670 --> 00:32:03,627
- MAN: That's what it was about.
- MCKENNA: Yeah.
499
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:06,213
PRODUCER: The people in the audience
were mindless IBM users.
500
00:32:06,341 --> 00:32:08,207
MCKENNA: Yes. You know,
for Steve it was great
501
00:32:08,343 --> 00:32:12,587
because he had this bad guy/good guy,
and he loved playing that role.
502
00:32:12,722 --> 00:32:16,636
- (GRUNTS)
- MAN: We shall prevail!
503
00:32:37,247 --> 00:32:38,863
NARRATOR: Looking back,
behind the scenes,
504
00:32:39,082 --> 00:32:42,496
it's easy to see the irony in the ad.
505
00:32:42,627 --> 00:32:44,539
Today, Apple is Goliath.
506
00:32:44,671 --> 00:32:46,128
Rolling. Rolling.
507
00:32:46,339 --> 00:32:48,205
But even in 1984,
508
00:32:48,383 --> 00:32:51,126
when Apple cast itself
as the counterculture company,
509
00:32:51,303 --> 00:32:54,762
working at Apple was a lot tougher
than IBM.
510
00:32:56,850 --> 00:32:59,012
JOBS: I think if you talk to a lot of
people on the Mac team,
511
00:32:59,144 --> 00:33:05,141
they will tell you it was the hardest
they've ever worked in their life.
512
00:33:05,317 --> 00:33:07,024
Some of them will tell you
it was, you know,
513
00:33:07,277 --> 00:33:08,984
the happiest they've ever been
in their life,
514
00:33:09,112 --> 00:33:11,024
but I think all of them will tell you
515
00:33:11,156 --> 00:33:14,490
that it is certainly one of the most
intense and cherished experiences
516
00:33:14,618 --> 00:33:15,984
they will ever have in their life.
517
00:33:16,119 --> 00:33:18,953
- MAN: Mm-hmm. Yeah, they did.
- So...
518
00:33:21,750 --> 00:33:23,742
You know...
519
00:33:25,420 --> 00:33:29,960
Some of those things are
not sustainable for some people.
520
00:33:35,764 --> 00:33:38,347
BELLEVILLE: I ended up
changing my entire life.
521
00:33:38,558 --> 00:33:40,766
I lost my wife in that process.
522
00:33:40,894 --> 00:33:44,558
I lost my children in that process.
I lost...
523
00:33:44,731 --> 00:33:48,441
The whole structure of my life
was just changed forever
524
00:33:48,568 --> 00:33:52,562
by going and working on the Mac.
525
00:33:52,697 --> 00:33:54,780
PRODUCER: Because the work
became so intense?
526
00:33:54,908 --> 00:33:56,365
The work was intense.
527
00:33:56,493 --> 00:33:58,530
The commitment needed to do it
was intense.
528
00:33:58,662 --> 00:34:01,655
I would go into work
on a Tuesday morning
529
00:34:01,790 --> 00:34:03,656
and half the people would hate me,
530
00:34:03,792 --> 00:34:05,408
and I'd come back on Wednesday morning,
531
00:34:05,585 --> 00:34:08,168
and half the people would hate me,
but it was the other half.
532
00:34:08,338 --> 00:34:10,751
There were an awful lot
of prima donnas in that outfit,
533
00:34:10,882 --> 00:34:13,590
so I was always in conflict.
534
00:34:16,805 --> 00:34:20,515
PRODUCER: Here's the piece you wrote.
You want to read it?
535
00:34:21,851 --> 00:34:26,391
"Steve's passing did come
as a bit of a shock for me."
536
00:34:26,523 --> 00:34:31,393
"For a bit more than three years,
1982 to 1985,
537
00:34:31,528 --> 00:34:34,236
we were together a lot of the time."
538
00:34:34,406 --> 00:34:38,491
"We made a dozen trips to Japan
together. We were close."
539
00:34:38,618 --> 00:34:41,656
"After that,
I only saw him a few times."
540
00:34:41,788 --> 00:34:44,155
"I haven't seen him in many years."
541
00:34:44,332 --> 00:34:48,667
"He was an extraordinary person in many
ways and quite normal in others."
542
00:34:48,795 --> 00:34:52,254
"The outpouring of feelings
from people all over the world
543
00:34:52,465 --> 00:34:57,130
was a bit of a surprise to me at first,
and then it seemed natural."
544
00:34:57,262 --> 00:35:00,050
"He was for them
a combination of James Dean,
545
00:35:00,181 --> 00:35:04,050
Princess Diana and John Lennon
and maybe Santa Claus."
546
00:35:04,185 --> 00:35:07,849
"What is in that bag of goodies?"
547
00:35:08,773 --> 00:35:12,642
"The iPod, the iPhone
and the iPad are so personal."
548
00:35:12,777 --> 00:35:17,772
"They are warm in your hand.
They sing to you when you're alone."
549
00:35:17,907 --> 00:35:19,364
"They are caressed."
550
00:35:19,492 --> 00:35:21,734
(EXHALES DEEPLY)
551
00:35:21,870 --> 00:35:23,156
"In those three years together,
552
00:35:23,288 --> 00:35:26,247
I packed in a decade or two
of experience."
553
00:35:26,416 --> 00:35:31,787
"Steve packed in a couple of centuries
in his 56 years."
554
00:35:31,921 --> 00:35:36,461
"He did everything he wanted,
and all on his own terms."
555
00:35:36,593 --> 00:35:39,461
"It was a life well and fully lived,
556
00:35:39,596 --> 00:35:43,055
even if it was a bit expensive
for those of us who were close."
557
00:35:43,183 --> 00:35:44,765
(SIGHS)
558
00:35:47,604 --> 00:35:50,062
You do have friends, you know?
559
00:35:50,190 --> 00:35:53,308
(LAUGHS) Even if they're bizarre people.
560
00:35:55,612 --> 00:35:58,480
PRODUCER: Yes. He is.
He's one of those mythic characters.
561
00:35:58,615 --> 00:36:05,658
Yeah, and they're not that much fun
on the ground most of the time,
562
00:36:05,789 --> 00:36:09,328
but there are those moments
when suddenly...
563
00:36:11,086 --> 00:36:13,703
They're the only person
who could've ever done it.
564
00:36:13,922 --> 00:36:15,288
PRODUCER: Right.
565
00:36:15,465 --> 00:36:19,084
- Yeah, and they change us.
- Right.
566
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,774
JOBS: Without death,
there would be very little progress.
567
00:36:35,902 --> 00:36:39,316
I'm sure that life evolved
without death at first
568
00:36:39,489 --> 00:36:44,826
and found that without death,
life didn't work very well.
569
00:36:44,953 --> 00:36:48,321
Because it didn't make room
for the young
570
00:36:48,498 --> 00:36:52,913
who didn't know how the world was,
you know, 50 years ago,
571
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:56,754
but who saw it as it is today
without any preconceptions
572
00:36:56,881 --> 00:36:59,248
and dreamed how it could be
based on that.
573
00:37:04,097 --> 00:37:07,181
JOBS: The minute that you understand
that you can poke life,
574
00:37:07,308 --> 00:37:09,140
you can change it, you can mold it,
575
00:37:09,269 --> 00:37:11,886
you'll want to change life
and make it better
576
00:37:12,021 --> 00:37:14,013
cos it's kind of messed up
in a lot of ways.
577
00:37:15,150 --> 00:37:18,234
Once you learn that,
you'll never be the same again.
578
00:37:23,783 --> 00:37:24,990
MAN: Just be here.
579
00:37:25,994 --> 00:37:30,955
Don't judge, don't try,
don't stop, don't start. Just be here.
580
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,698
It's all just enough.
581
00:37:36,629 --> 00:37:38,996
It's enough to know that I love you.
582
00:37:42,677 --> 00:37:47,297
MAN: Steve and I met two weeks into
our freshman year at Reed College.
583
00:37:47,432 --> 00:37:51,642
We had both happened to buy
"Be Here Now."
584
00:37:51,811 --> 00:37:55,725
And it was such an unusual book.
I just wanted...
585
00:37:55,857 --> 00:37:58,975
I was carrying it around
and wanted somebody to talk to about it,
586
00:37:59,110 --> 00:38:02,353
and Steve was the one person
who also had read it.
587
00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:11,286
KOTTKE: When we went to India,
588
00:38:11,414 --> 00:38:15,909
we were looking for
remarkable experiences.
589
00:38:16,044 --> 00:38:19,583
We didn't have a guru.
We didn't have a particular school.
590
00:38:19,714 --> 00:38:22,832
And so we traveled around
for four months.
591
00:38:22,967 --> 00:38:29,931
Had some interesting experiences.
No major enlightenment experiences.
592
00:38:30,058 --> 00:38:32,425
Steve's quote later was,
593
00:38:32,602 --> 00:38:35,094
"We had figured out that
we weren't going to meet somebody
594
00:38:35,230 --> 00:38:37,438
who was going to make us enlightened."
595
00:38:40,193 --> 00:38:42,401
If you think about Hindu spirituality,
596
00:38:42,570 --> 00:38:46,439
you think of Mother Teresa
feeding the poor.
597
00:38:46,616 --> 00:38:49,950
That's not really the path
that Steve took.
598
00:38:50,078 --> 00:38:52,741
Those weren't Steve's values.
599
00:38:52,872 --> 00:38:54,454
(BELL RINGS)
600
00:38:55,708 --> 00:38:57,825
KOTTKE: It was the next year,
after India,
601
00:38:57,961 --> 00:39:02,001
when he connected
with the Zen Center in Los Altos.
602
00:39:02,131 --> 00:39:08,594
Zen is about clarity,
simplicity, cleanliness.
603
00:39:09,472 --> 00:39:15,264
Ending the duality of your ego
and simplifying your life.
604
00:39:15,395 --> 00:39:18,479
And that really appealed to Steve.
605
00:39:18,648 --> 00:39:23,313
It's based on taking off
and creating something for yourself.
606
00:39:23,444 --> 00:39:27,438
You know, giving life to your own life
in whatever way you wish to do it.
607
00:39:28,908 --> 00:39:30,991
KOTTKE: At the time
he was starting Apple,
608
00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:34,908
Steve was very actively looking
for a mentor.
609
00:39:39,419 --> 00:39:43,208
NARRATOR: Kobun Chino would
become Jobs's spiritual advisor.
610
00:39:43,381 --> 00:39:47,716
Kobun encouraged Jobs
not to retreat into a monastery,
611
00:39:47,844 --> 00:39:51,554
but instead to find Zen
in his life and work.
612
00:39:51,764 --> 00:39:54,848
But they would argue
over the path to enlightenment.
613
00:40:08,114 --> 00:40:14,907
Steve always says, "Make me monk.
Please make me monk."
614
00:40:15,038 --> 00:40:18,327
I say, "Not until proof."
615
00:40:20,084 --> 00:40:26,046
When I was living in California,
23 years ago...
616
00:40:26,174 --> 00:40:27,961
Midnight...
617
00:40:28,092 --> 00:40:32,883
I answered the doorbell and there he is.
618
00:40:33,014 --> 00:40:36,052
18 years old, he was.
619
00:40:36,184 --> 00:40:39,427
And he wanted to see me.
620
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,064
And I looked into his eyes, and...
621
00:40:44,192 --> 00:40:48,061
They looked terrible,
but he is not crazy.
622
00:40:48,196 --> 00:40:51,405
I must talk with him.
623
00:40:51,532 --> 00:40:57,028
I took him for a walk
through the downtown of Los Altos.
624
00:40:58,081 --> 00:41:00,198
All stores closed.
625
00:41:00,333 --> 00:41:06,295
One bar called The Teacup was open.
626
00:41:07,715 --> 00:41:10,833
We sat down at the counter.
627
00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:17,716
I had Irish coffee and he had juice.
628
00:41:18,977 --> 00:41:23,062
After sipping, he started to talk.
629
00:41:24,232 --> 00:41:29,444
He said, "I feel I'm enlightened."
630
00:41:29,570 --> 00:41:32,358
"I don't know what to do with this."
631
00:41:35,660 --> 00:41:41,122
That's wonderful.
That is very wonderful.
632
00:41:43,126 --> 00:41:45,789
I need proof of it.
633
00:41:50,049 --> 00:41:53,588
A week later he came back
634
00:41:53,886 --> 00:41:59,098
with a little metal sheet in his hand.
635
00:42:00,268 --> 00:42:03,932
Many things were going,
wires going around...
636
00:42:04,063 --> 00:42:06,680
I didn't know what it was.
637
00:42:07,316 --> 00:42:12,277
It was a chip of a personal computer.
638
00:42:14,032 --> 00:42:20,120
He said, "I designed it.
My friend Woz helped me."
639
00:42:21,289 --> 00:42:26,501
"This is called Lisa."
640
00:42:26,627 --> 00:42:28,584
"I named it Lisa."
641
00:42:29,630 --> 00:42:34,842
Which is the name of his daughter.
642
00:42:36,262 --> 00:42:40,427
That was the origin of Apple Computer.
643
00:42:42,351 --> 00:42:49,315
And I'm still not quite sure
that was a true proof or not.
644
00:42:49,442 --> 00:42:54,654
He's brilliant, but too smart, I think.
645
00:42:59,368 --> 00:43:03,908
PRODUCER: When you broke the Lisa story,
why was that important?
646
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,454
There was a computer called "Lisa."
647
00:43:07,585 --> 00:43:12,705
And everybody wondered
who the computer was named after.
648
00:43:14,550 --> 00:43:17,964
I didn't choose
to name the computer "Lisa."
649
00:43:18,971 --> 00:43:22,430
I was obviously curious
about why it was named "Lisa".
650
00:43:24,018 --> 00:43:26,852
Fair or unfair, I think that was,
651
00:43:26,979 --> 00:43:30,347
to me,
that was a germane part of the story.

00:43:57,969 --> 00:44:03,636
And I look over, and there's
this guy I have never seen.
658
00:44:03,766 --> 00:44:09,683
I've been there for three years.
I can't believe how gorgeous he is.
659
00:44:09,814 --> 00:44:16,152
And he starts to walk out of the quad,
and I followed him
660
00:44:16,279 --> 00:44:19,693
cos I thought,
"I've got to introduce myself to him."
661
00:44:20,825 --> 00:44:24,990
And I'm going, "What do I say?"
I had no idea what to say.
662
00:44:25,121 --> 00:44:28,330
A few months later,
I was working on a film.
663
00:44:28,457 --> 00:44:33,953
We worked all night long,
and he walks up out of the dark.
664
00:44:34,088 --> 00:44:38,628
He was confident and awkward.
He was a study in contrasts.
665
00:44:38,759 --> 00:44:44,801
And he had jeans on that drooped
because they had so many holes in them.
666
00:44:44,974 --> 00:44:48,263
And he was very intentional,
very intense.
667
00:44:48,394 --> 00:44:53,981
And then he handed me a poem
by Bob Dylan.
668
00:44:54,150 --> 00:44:56,437
"Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands."
669
00:44:59,071 --> 00:45:02,781
He would re-write Dylan's songs
to fit his life.
670
00:45:05,077 --> 00:45:09,492
And then he... he just scanned the quad
671
00:45:09,624 --> 00:45:13,493
and the darkness
that went over his face...
672
00:45:14,754 --> 00:45:21,672
The edge, the worry,
the dissonance, was shocking to me.
673
00:45:21,802 --> 00:45:25,546
And I was young enough where I thought,
"Did I say something wrong?"
674
00:45:25,681 --> 00:45:28,344
But later I realized
that wasn't what it was.
675
00:45:28,476 --> 00:45:30,468
That was part of who he was.
676
00:45:30,603 --> 00:45:33,266
And I mean, that was one of the things
that I was attracted to,
677
00:45:33,397 --> 00:45:36,265
is that he had a lot going on
inside him.
678
00:45:39,737 --> 00:45:43,822
Steve was a romantic,
and he really loved Chrisann.
679
00:45:43,991 --> 00:45:47,325
I think she was
a seductive force in his life,
680
00:45:47,453 --> 00:45:53,996
and there was a part of Steve
that didn't want to push that away.
681
00:45:54,126 --> 00:45:56,413
But the main thing in Steve's life,
number one,
682
00:45:56,545 --> 00:46:00,084
was getting Apple off the ground.
683
00:46:00,216 --> 00:46:03,675
And he just really could not focus
on anything else.
684
00:46:05,221 --> 00:46:08,259
I came out in June of '77,
685
00:46:08,391 --> 00:46:13,511
and the three of us went
and rented a house in Cupertino.
686
00:46:15,273 --> 00:46:19,392
BRENNAN: Apple is beginning.
Steve and I are falling in love again.
687
00:46:19,527 --> 00:46:22,144
But we're going back and forth
big time now.
688
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:26,615
It's just like I'm insecure
because he's so unkind,
689
00:46:26,742 --> 00:46:30,156
and then we connect.
690
00:46:32,540 --> 00:46:36,033
But I don't know how to handle
how fast Steve's mind is
691
00:46:36,168 --> 00:46:39,286
and how fast
he throws negative stuff at me.
692
00:46:39,463 --> 00:46:44,925
And by the time I figure out,
"I've got to get out of here..."
693
00:46:46,220 --> 00:46:48,428
Um...
694
00:46:48,556 --> 00:46:51,469
"This is not working."
695
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:57,562
Um... "I don't want to be in their club,
Daniel's or just even with Steve."
696
00:46:57,690 --> 00:47:03,311
"It's just not working."
That's when I got pregnant.
697
00:47:04,864 --> 00:47:07,857
PRODUCER: What happened when
you told Steve that you were pregnant?
698
00:47:09,368 --> 00:47:10,779
Um...
699
00:47:10,911 --> 00:47:13,574
I told Steve in the dining room.
700
00:47:13,831 --> 00:47:18,917
Steve's jaw clenched.
701
00:47:19,170 --> 00:47:22,914
And searing anger...
702
00:47:23,090 --> 00:47:26,128
And he runs out the door,
kind of like a teenager,
703
00:47:26,260 --> 00:47:27,796
slams the door.
704
00:47:39,023 --> 00:47:41,265
KOTTKE: She got pregnant.
705
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:46,486
And Steve just was, "Not... not...
not me."
706
00:47:46,614 --> 00:47:49,152
"It's not me. It's not me," right?
707
00:47:49,325 --> 00:47:53,945
Even though that was not
a reasonable thing to say.
708
00:47:55,956 --> 00:47:59,449
BRENNAN: After Lisa was born,
Steve came up three days later.
709
00:47:59,585 --> 00:48:02,293
And we're sitting in a field,
and he...
710
00:48:02,421 --> 00:48:05,414
We're like, trying to negotiate...
711
00:48:07,468 --> 00:48:10,802
what name we both feel good about
for her.
712
00:48:10,930 --> 00:48:13,593
He knows he's the father.
713
00:48:15,184 --> 00:48:19,929
He comes with the idea
of wanting to call her Claire,
714
00:48:20,064 --> 00:48:23,774
and I don't want Claire because
it's too much like Clara,
715
00:48:23,901 --> 00:48:25,563
his mother's name.
716
00:48:25,694 --> 00:48:27,310
So, we're looking through the book,
717
00:48:27,446 --> 00:48:29,608
and we're thinking
and going back and forth,
718
00:48:29,740 --> 00:48:32,323
trying different names,
and finally I go, "Lisa!"
719
00:48:33,619 --> 00:48:37,954
He said, "Yeah!"
We both loved that name.
720
00:48:38,082 --> 00:48:44,750
But later I realized he wanted
to name a line of computers
721
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,042
or the next computer
the "Claire."
722
00:48:47,216 --> 00:48:50,550
I only knew this later.
723
00:48:50,678 --> 00:48:55,890
He went back to Apple
and changed it to the "Lisa."
724
00:49:01,814 --> 00:49:04,852
MORITZ: It says a lot about somebody
725
00:49:04,984 --> 00:49:11,948
that they would have the wit,
the imagination, the audacity,
726
00:49:12,074 --> 00:49:16,990
to name a computer in the fashion
that Steve named this
727
00:49:17,121 --> 00:49:22,992
and believe that you're going to
be able to get away with it.
728
00:49:25,504 --> 00:49:29,498
That is the sort
of very telling anecdote
729
00:49:29,633 --> 00:49:33,468
that helps illuminate
somebody's personality.
730
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:45,480
JOBS: My biological mother was
a young, unwed graduate student,
731
00:49:45,608 --> 00:49:48,476
and she decided
to put me up for adoption.
732
00:49:48,611 --> 00:49:50,318
So, everything was all set
733
00:49:50,446 --> 00:49:53,939
for me to be adopted at birth
by a lawyer and his wife.
734
00:49:54,074 --> 00:49:56,066
Except that when I popped out,
735
00:49:56,243 --> 00:50:00,078
they decided at the last minute
that they really wanted a girl.
736
00:50:00,247 --> 00:50:02,660
So, my parents,
who were on a waiting list,
737
00:50:02,833 --> 00:50:05,746
got a call in the middle
of the night, asking,
738
00:50:05,961 --> 00:50:09,830
"We've got an unexpected baby boy.
Do you want him?"
739
00:50:09,965 --> 00:50:12,298
They said, "Of course."
740
00:50:13,302 --> 00:50:15,635
My biological mother found out later
741
00:50:15,763 --> 00:50:18,346
that my mother had never
graduated from college
742
00:50:18,516 --> 00:50:21,475
and that my father had never
graduated from high school.
743
00:50:21,644 --> 00:50:25,729
She refused to sign
the final adoption papers.
744
00:50:25,856 --> 00:50:27,722
She only relented a few months later
745
00:50:27,858 --> 00:50:31,818
when my parents promised
that I would go to college.
746
00:50:32,029 --> 00:50:34,817
This was the start in my life.
747
00:50:38,035 --> 00:50:41,779
PRODUCER: You know, another paradox
for him, you know, here's a guy,
748
00:50:41,914 --> 00:50:44,657
you know, being pissed off
that he was left for adoption,
749
00:50:44,792 --> 00:50:47,626
and when he has a child,
he wants to run the other way.
750
00:50:47,753 --> 00:50:50,211
KOTTKE: Yes, that's a huge paradox.
751
00:50:50,381 --> 00:50:55,593
Even when I first met Steve, the fact
that he was given up for adoption
752
00:50:55,719 --> 00:51:01,681
was a huge emotional issue
in his life.
753
00:51:01,809 --> 00:51:05,598
JOBS: I was, I remember,
right here on the lawn
754
00:51:05,729 --> 00:51:09,939
telling Lisa McMoyler, who lived
across the street, that I was adopted,
755
00:51:10,067 --> 00:51:14,107
and she said, "So, does that mean
your real parents didn't want you?"
756
00:51:14,238 --> 00:51:17,106
Ooh, lightening bolt. I remember
running into the house.
757
00:51:17,241 --> 00:51:21,326
I think I started crying, asking
my parents, and they sat me down.
758
00:51:21,453 --> 00:51:23,365
They said,
"No, you don't understand."
759
00:51:23,497 --> 00:51:26,615
They said,
"We specifically picked you."
760
00:51:29,086 --> 00:51:33,330
KOTTKE: That was clearly
a very defining image in his life,
761
00:51:33,507 --> 00:51:36,750
both that he was rejected
and that he was special.
762
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,763
KOTTKE: The IPO was November 1980.
763
00:51:41,890 --> 00:51:45,258
By the summer of 1980,
it was clear it was going to happen,
764
00:51:45,394 --> 00:51:48,478
and so Steve's net worth
was going to go from $10 million
765
00:51:48,606 --> 00:51:51,223
to around $200 million.
766
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:56,646
And I think he had the opportunity
to completely reinvent himself.
767
00:51:57,865 --> 00:52:02,155
NARRATOR: In his reinvention, some
people who helped him were left behind.
768
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:04,952
Woz had no taste for management,
769
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:09,245
so he left Apple with a big stock
package and a lifetime stipend.
770
00:52:10,169 --> 00:52:14,459
Daniel Kottke had been
one of Apple's first employees.
771
00:52:14,590 --> 00:52:17,458
In the run-up to the IPO,
an Apple executive offered
772
00:52:17,593 --> 00:52:20,552
to give Daniel the same amount
of stock that Steve would give.
773
00:52:20,679 --> 00:52:24,889
Steve replied,
"Fine. I'll give him zero."
774
00:52:29,063 --> 00:52:33,433
Jobs also saw an opportunity
to rewrite his history with Chrisann.
775
00:52:33,567 --> 00:52:38,187
He composed a fiction which implied
she had many sexual partners,
776
00:52:38,322 --> 00:52:40,279
and he claimed he was sterile
777
00:52:40,449 --> 00:52:45,160
and therefore did not have the physical
capacity to procreate a child.
778
00:52:48,666 --> 00:52:53,161
BRENNAN: A woman with a baby,
and I was that threatening to them.
779
00:52:53,295 --> 00:52:56,629
"If he'd said," I can't do this,
but let me help
780
00:52:56,757 --> 00:52:59,875
because I can be practical here,"
781
00:53:00,010 --> 00:53:02,002
that would have been...
782
00:53:02,179 --> 00:53:04,762
made for so much.
783
00:53:04,890 --> 00:53:09,100
But it almost seemed that the point
was to be out of integrity.
784
00:53:10,562 --> 00:53:14,272
NARRATOR: When a court-ordered DNA test
proved Jobs's paternity,
785
00:53:14,441 --> 00:53:17,684
he stopped fighting Chrisann
in court.
786
00:53:17,861 --> 00:53:19,693
She was on welfare at the time,
787
00:53:19,863 --> 00:53:24,949
so Jobs reluctantly agreed to pay
$500 a month in child support.
788
00:53:26,453 --> 00:53:30,823
When Apple went public,
he was worth nearly $200 million.
789
00:53:30,958 --> 00:53:33,701
KOTTKE: Steve is so hugely successful,
790
00:53:33,836 --> 00:53:37,500
and yet he treated
so many people so badly.
791
00:53:37,673 --> 00:53:41,917
How much of an asshole
do you have to be to be successful?
792
00:53:42,052 --> 00:53:44,009
What is the moral of the story here?
793
00:53:44,138 --> 00:53:46,380
COMPUTER: Hello. I am Macintosh.
794
00:53:46,557 --> 00:53:50,267
It is with considerable pride
that I introduce a man
795
00:53:50,394 --> 00:53:53,683
who's been like a father to me.
Steve Jobs.
796
00:53:53,814 --> 00:53:55,521
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
797
00:54:14,668 --> 00:54:17,536
BRENNAN: He didn't know
what real connection was.
798
00:54:19,173 --> 00:54:24,259
So he was a part of the technology
that connected the world.
799
00:54:25,179 --> 00:54:27,045
Does that make sense?
800
00:54:29,016 --> 00:54:32,726
He made up another kind of connection.
801
00:54:33,604 --> 00:54:36,142
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
802
00:54:39,026 --> 00:54:41,063
You know,
I didn't sleep a wink last night.
803
00:54:41,236 --> 00:54:47,403
There's a version of Steve Jobs
presenting the iPhone
804
00:54:47,576 --> 00:54:52,913
where you can see his own feeling
of "I love this object."
805
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:54,622
Isn't this awesome?
806
00:54:54,833 --> 00:55:01,421
His stuff was beloved,
but it wasn't that he was beloved.
807
00:55:01,590 --> 00:55:03,798
He wasn't a nice guy.
808
00:55:03,926 --> 00:55:06,509
First, he had a reputation
as a womanizer,
809
00:55:06,637 --> 00:55:07,923
and then he had a reputation
810
00:55:08,055 --> 00:55:13,050
as sort of not caring about anybody
and as being kind of a tough guy.
811
00:55:14,144 --> 00:55:19,105
People are not connected to him
because of his character.
812
00:55:19,233 --> 00:55:22,067
That is not people's connection to him.
813
00:55:22,194 --> 00:55:25,938
In Be Here Now by Ram Dass,
814
00:55:26,073 --> 00:55:30,317
one of the memories I still have
after all these years
815
00:55:30,452 --> 00:55:34,742
was when someone goes into
a state of enlightenment...
816
00:55:36,250 --> 00:55:40,119
but they do it while
they're still attached to their ego...
817
00:55:41,255 --> 00:55:46,091
They call that, as I recall him
saying it, "the golden chain."
818
00:55:49,054 --> 00:55:52,013
And that's what I feel
happened to Steve.
819
00:55:53,475 --> 00:55:59,597
He went into magnificence
and into enlightenment, but he...
820
00:56:01,233 --> 00:56:03,099
He just...
821
00:56:04,111 --> 00:56:05,522
He blew it.
822
00:56:05,737 --> 00:56:06,978
(CHUCKLES)
823
00:56:08,448 --> 00:56:11,031
NARRATOR: Steve Jobs blew it?
824
00:56:11,159 --> 00:56:14,698
How many people in the world
believe that?
825
00:56:14,830 --> 00:56:18,039
He made products everyone loved.
826
00:56:18,208 --> 00:56:22,794
He was the computer era's
most successful entrepreneur.
827
00:56:22,921 --> 00:56:25,834
How could anyone think he blew it?
828
00:56:27,676 --> 00:56:30,134
MAN 1: The entrepreneur's a person
who wants to shake things up,
829
00:56:30,262 --> 00:56:34,051
who wants to change things,
who sees a better way of doing that.
830
00:56:34,182 --> 00:56:37,550
But he or she tends to be
a royal pain in the neck.
831
00:56:37,728 --> 00:56:40,641
MAN 2: Apple computer has sued
its co-founder and former chairman,
832
00:56:40,772 --> 00:56:43,310
Steven Jobs, to stop him
from starting a rival company.
833
00:56:43,442 --> 00:56:48,028
Jobs quit Apple last week in a bitter
fight with his board and management.
834
00:56:48,155 --> 00:56:49,737
MAN 3: So, Apple is reorganizing.
835
00:56:49,865 --> 00:56:53,654
John Sculley is taking control
from Steven Jobs.
836
00:56:53,785 --> 00:56:56,653
MAN 4: Tell us about your departure
from Apple.
837
00:56:56,830 --> 00:57:01,040
Oh, it was very painful. I'm not even
sure I want to talk about it. Um...
838
00:57:04,421 --> 00:57:06,834
What can I say? I hired the wrong guy.
839
00:57:06,965 --> 00:57:09,423
- That was Sculley?
- Yeah.
840
00:57:09,551 --> 00:57:15,673
And... he destroyed everything
I'd spent ten years working for.
841
00:57:30,906 --> 00:57:35,196
MAN: What did you do
after you left Apple in 1985?
842
00:57:35,369 --> 00:57:39,158
I started two companies.
843
00:57:39,289 --> 00:57:41,155
One was started
844
00:57:41,291 --> 00:57:46,537
by buying the computer-graphics
division of Lucasfilm.
845
00:57:46,713 --> 00:57:49,456
We christened it Pixar.
846
00:57:49,591 --> 00:57:53,130
Pixar was acquired by Disney.
847
00:57:53,261 --> 00:57:56,550
I'm on the board of directors
of the Walt Disney Company.
848
00:57:57,766 --> 00:58:00,383
And the other was called NeXT.
849
00:58:02,938 --> 00:58:06,056
PRODUCER: From having left
or been bounced from Apple,
850
00:58:06,191 --> 00:58:08,308
did he have a kind of a chip
on his shoulder?
851
00:58:08,443 --> 00:58:13,359
Was there some...
Was this Steve in the wilderness?
852
00:58:13,490 --> 00:58:15,447
I don't think he felt he was
in the wilderness at all.
853
00:58:15,575 --> 00:58:19,489
I think he felt he was on a path.
He was on a mission.
854
00:58:19,621 --> 00:58:21,578
Where are we going to?
855
00:58:21,748 --> 00:58:24,331
MAN: In 1986, after he had left Apple
856
00:58:24,459 --> 00:58:27,293
and was in the process
of starting this new company,
857
00:58:27,504 --> 00:58:30,622
"Esquire" convinced him to
give a journalist a week of his time.
858
00:58:30,799 --> 00:58:33,382
So, I basically spent that week
with him,
859
00:58:33,510 --> 00:58:36,844
talked to him a lot, went to dinner,
sat in on meetings,
860
00:58:36,972 --> 00:58:41,433
and got to see Jobs as he was
at that moment in his life.
861
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,803
MAN: But, I mean, I agree that...
Let me back up a bit.
862
00:58:44,938 --> 00:58:46,474
So, somebody's got to say,
863
00:58:46,606 --> 00:58:49,724
"Here's what we can do,
and we can make it happen,
864
00:58:49,860 --> 00:58:53,149
and here's the level of thing
we can ship in 16 months."
865
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,647
And what I hear him saying is,
866
00:58:55,824 --> 00:58:58,237
"Well, anything more than
a port of Mac author, forget it."
867
00:58:58,368 --> 00:59:00,155
And boy, that just makes me smoke.
868
00:59:00,287 --> 00:59:02,825
NOCERA: If he was in a meeting
and somebody said,
869
00:59:02,998 --> 00:59:07,288
"Here's a great idea," and put the idea
out there and he didn't like it,
870
00:59:07,419 --> 00:59:09,706
he'd just chop the person
into mincemeat.
871
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,872
MAN: The problem I've got, though,
is one,
872
00:59:12,007 --> 00:59:14,966
will everybody believe
that the stake is in fact in the ground,
873
00:59:15,093 --> 00:59:16,800
and, secondly,
when software comes back
874
00:59:16,928 --> 00:59:19,045
and says what they can do
by summer or spring of '87,
875
00:59:19,181 --> 00:59:20,422
will they be telling us the truth?
876
00:59:20,599 --> 00:59:22,807
Well, George, I can't change the world,
you know.
877
00:59:22,934 --> 00:59:25,096
What do you want me to do?
What's the solution?
878
00:59:25,228 --> 00:59:26,890
WOMAN: But you see,
what we can learn is...
879
00:59:27,022 --> 00:59:29,309
What I want is probably irrelevant.
880
00:59:29,441 --> 00:59:31,558
I mean,
there are certain realities here,
881
00:59:31,693 --> 00:59:35,027
both psychological and market,
882
00:59:35,155 --> 00:59:39,115
that are going to come into play,
in my own personal judgment.
883
00:59:39,242 --> 00:59:42,110
And I think this is a window
that we've got. We've been given it.
884
00:59:42,245 --> 00:59:44,703
And thank God we've been given it.
Nobody else has done this.
885
00:59:44,873 --> 00:59:47,115
It's a wonderful window.
We have 18 months.
886
00:59:48,168 --> 00:59:52,037
NOCERA: The article was about people
who are maniacal about work.
887
00:59:52,172 --> 00:59:54,915
And Steve Jobs was the most maniacal
person I could think of,
888
00:59:55,133 --> 00:59:57,216
which is why I wanted
to write about him.
889
00:59:57,344 --> 01:00:00,052
PRODUCER: You made the connection
in that first piece a bunch of times,
890
01:00:00,180 --> 01:00:01,967
you know, the monk among priests.
891
01:00:02,099 --> 01:00:05,217
What was the relationship
between that extreme
892
01:00:05,352 --> 01:00:08,265
of working 24/7
and that monastic life?
893
01:00:08,396 --> 01:00:12,231
I mean, he did seem to have
that rather interesting dedication.
894
01:00:12,359 --> 01:00:17,150
OK, so, a monomaniacal commitment
to something
895
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,567
is something
that most people don't have.
896
01:00:20,909 --> 01:00:28,624
And that, like the monk, requires you
to kind of shed extraneous things,
897
01:00:28,750 --> 01:00:32,084
and Steve Jobs absolutely,
positively had that.
898
01:00:46,768 --> 01:00:48,885
NARRATOR: Jobs talked about
becoming a monk
899
01:00:49,020 --> 01:00:53,060
at this remote Zen temple
where Kobun Chino had studied.
900
01:00:53,191 --> 01:00:55,023
(BELL RINGING)
901
01:00:59,906 --> 01:01:02,398
NARRATOR: I wonder what he liked
about the idea of it.
902
01:01:05,537 --> 01:01:10,578
Was it the discipline of the monks?
Their unwavering focus?
903
01:01:14,754 --> 01:01:16,495
(MONKS CHANTING)
904
01:01:28,393 --> 01:01:31,682
NARRATOR: In meditation, Jobs loved
inspecting his own mind
905
01:01:31,813 --> 01:01:33,770
and changing the way it worked.
906
01:01:33,940 --> 01:01:36,557
He focused on the spirit of things
907
01:01:36,693 --> 01:01:39,857
and sought perfection
in the machines he made.
908
01:01:40,739 --> 01:01:44,403
But Kobun thought
Jobs was missing the point.
909
01:01:44,576 --> 01:01:47,944
A search for perfection
would never bring him peace
910
01:01:48,079 --> 01:01:50,662
or harmony with those around him.
911
01:01:52,959 --> 01:01:56,828
But maybe harmony is
what Jobs was looking for in Japan.
912
01:01:58,673 --> 01:02:03,088
He went there dozens of times,
and not just for business.
913
01:02:03,220 --> 01:02:06,384
He stayed in fancy hotels,
not Zen temples,
914
01:02:06,514 --> 01:02:09,723
but right to the end,
he kept going back.
915
01:02:15,899 --> 01:02:18,642
After he met and later married
Laurene Powell,
916
01:02:18,777 --> 01:02:21,520
he would take three
of his four children there,
917
01:02:21,655 --> 01:02:23,487
including Lisa.
918
01:02:26,076 --> 01:02:29,240
Jobs's relationship with Lisa
remained full of conflict,
919
01:02:29,454 --> 01:02:34,165
but a few years before Jobs's death,
Lisa wrote about a moment of peace.
920
01:02:36,503 --> 01:02:40,668
WOMAN: I didn't live with him, but he
would stop by our house some days,
921
01:02:40,882 --> 01:02:44,592
a deity among us for
a few tingly moments or hours.
922
01:02:46,137 --> 01:02:49,255
He was a more extreme vegetarian
than my mother and I
923
01:02:49,391 --> 01:02:51,348
and sharp-focused.
924
01:02:51,476 --> 01:02:55,595
One day, he spit out a mouthful of soup
after hearing it contained butter.
925
01:02:55,730 --> 01:02:59,940
With him, one ate a variety of salads.
926
01:03:01,361 --> 01:03:05,150
He believed that great harvests
came from arid sources.
927
01:03:05,282 --> 01:03:07,319
Pleasure from restraint.
928
01:03:07,450 --> 01:03:11,660
He knew the equations
that most people didn't know.
929
01:03:11,788 --> 01:03:14,576
Things led to their opposites.
930
01:03:16,209 --> 01:03:19,748
But once, he took me with him
on a business trip to Tokyo
931
01:03:19,879 --> 01:03:23,964
where we went to a sushi bar
in the basement of the Okura hotel
932
01:03:24,092 --> 01:03:28,837
with its high ceilings and low couches,
like a Hitchcock set.
933
01:03:28,972 --> 01:03:33,262
He ordered great trays of unagi sushi,
cooked eel on rice.
934
01:03:33,393 --> 01:03:37,433
He ordered too many pieces, knowing
we wouldn't be able to finish them,
935
01:03:37,564 --> 01:03:40,932
but that we didn't want
to feel they would run out.
936
01:03:41,109 --> 01:03:44,102
It was the first time I'd felt,
with him,
937
01:03:44,237 --> 01:03:48,151
so relaxed and content
over those trays of meat.
938
01:03:48,283 --> 01:03:52,994
The excess, the permission and warmth
after the cold salads
939
01:03:53,163 --> 01:03:58,454
meant a once inaccessible space
had opened.
940
01:03:58,585 --> 01:04:01,293
He was less rigid with himself,
941
01:04:01,421 --> 01:04:05,165
even human under the great ceilings
with the little chairs,
942
01:04:05,383 --> 01:04:07,545
with the meat and me.
943
01:04:09,596 --> 01:04:14,591
But the event was not self-sustaining.
We went back home to salads.
944
01:04:14,726 --> 01:04:18,686
They satisfied me less
now that I knew the alternative.
945
01:04:24,235 --> 01:04:27,854
- MAN: What eventually happened to NeXT?
- Apple purchased it.
946
01:04:27,989 --> 01:04:33,280
- OK, when?
- I believe 1997.
947
01:04:33,453 --> 01:04:37,914
JOBS: When Apple bought NeXT,
Apple was pretty messed up.
948
01:04:38,041 --> 01:04:39,782
It was pretty easy to see.
949
01:04:39,918 --> 01:04:41,034
Apple Computer,
950
01:04:41,169 --> 01:04:43,456
a pioneer in the personal computers
and software business,
951
01:04:43,588 --> 01:04:44,874
has fallen on hard times.
952
01:04:45,006 --> 01:04:46,338
MAN 1: Over a three-month period,
953
01:04:46,466 --> 01:04:50,426
Apple's profits plunged
by more than $50 million.
954
01:04:50,553 --> 01:04:54,388
MAN 2: With big losses in the last
quarter, with profit margins shrinking,
955
01:04:54,516 --> 01:04:56,633
Apple seems destined for a takeover.
956
01:04:56,768 --> 01:04:59,636
MAN 3: Steve Jobs co-founded Apple
with Steve Wozniak,
957
01:04:59,771 --> 01:05:02,354
and on Friday,
Apple went to the well once again,
958
01:05:02,482 --> 01:05:04,223
bringing Jobs back as a consultant,
959
01:05:04,359 --> 01:05:06,646
writing one
of the most unlikely chapters ever
960
01:05:06,861 --> 01:05:08,477
in the lore that is Silicon Valley.
961
01:05:08,613 --> 01:05:09,945
Steve.
962
01:05:10,073 --> 01:05:12,065
(APPLAUSE)
963
01:05:20,458 --> 01:05:23,951
MAN: I joined the company
in February '97.
964
01:05:24,087 --> 01:05:27,455
After a couple of days there,
I was in complete shock.
965
01:05:29,801 --> 01:05:33,511
The company was close to bankruptcy,
and it was total chaos.
966
01:05:33,638 --> 01:05:36,802
The NeXT acquisition
had just occurred,
967
01:05:36,933 --> 01:05:39,016
and there were major changes
going on.
968
01:05:39,227 --> 01:05:43,642
And Steve was involved at that point
in time, but on the margins.
969
01:05:43,773 --> 01:05:46,561
I haven't been back here
in over ten years,
970
01:05:46,693 --> 01:05:50,437
so, yeah, it's an interesting feeling.
971
01:05:50,613 --> 01:05:53,230
It's a little strange,
but not too strange.
972
01:05:53,366 --> 01:05:54,823
RUBINSTEIN: At some point in time,
973
01:05:54,951 --> 01:05:57,944
the process was started
to look for a full-time CEO.
974
01:05:58,079 --> 01:06:00,321
And at that point in time,
Steve got much more involved.
975
01:06:00,457 --> 01:06:01,743
Now, he still wasn't the CEO.
976
01:06:01,875 --> 01:06:05,334
I don't think he was 100% sure
the company was savable yet,
977
01:06:05,462 --> 01:06:08,045
and so I think he was
hedging his bets a little bit.
978
01:06:08,214 --> 01:06:12,834
He had to make a decision whether he
really wanted to take on that role
979
01:06:12,969 --> 01:06:16,303
because being CEO of Apple
is an all-consuming role,
980
01:06:16,431 --> 01:06:18,923
and I'm not sure Steve thought
that that's something
981
01:06:19,058 --> 01:06:23,223
that he wanted to do for what
turned out to be the rest of his life.
982
01:06:23,354 --> 01:06:28,895
JOBS: I took the title of Interim CEO
and agreed to come back for 90 days
983
01:06:29,027 --> 01:06:32,737

984
01:06:35,950 --> 01:06:38,237
MAN: How did that recruitment effort go?
985
01:06:38,369 --> 01:06:40,076
I failed.
986
01:06:45,919 --> 01:06:48,707
RUBINSTEIN: You know, the real hero
of that early part of the story
987
01:06:48,838 --> 01:06:50,079
is Fred Anderson.
988
01:06:50,256 --> 01:06:53,499
Fred restructured the company
financially
989
01:06:53,635 --> 01:06:56,753
and bought us the time to build
the foundation for today's Apple.
990
01:06:56,888 --> 01:07:00,006
And then Fred even had an impact
on the product strategy
991
01:07:00,141 --> 01:07:02,633
because when Steve came back,
992
01:07:02,769 --> 01:07:06,558
the first major project we
started was a network computer.
993
01:07:06,731 --> 01:07:09,724
That was kind of the rage at the time,
but it wasn't a consumer product at all.
994
01:07:09,901 --> 01:07:11,563
Fred kept going,
"You know, wait a minute,
995
01:07:11,694 --> 01:07:13,276
we got to have a consumer product."
996
01:07:13,404 --> 01:07:15,111
"You guys have to focus
on a low-end Mac
997
01:07:15,281 --> 01:07:17,489
because that's what's going to
turn the company around."
998
01:07:18,284 --> 01:07:21,618
So, the executive team and Steve
decided that we would switch
999
01:07:21,746 --> 01:07:26,411
from doing the network computer
and make that the iMac.
1000
01:07:26,626 --> 01:07:29,414
There you go, right here.

it's kill or be killed.

01:07:37,554 --> 01:07:40,388
And the original whiz kid was thought
to be dying an early death.
1004
01:07:40,515 --> 01:07:44,134
We went for colors that really expressed
the spirit of the machine.

could convince himself of things

01:08:20,096 --> 01:08:22,588
that weren't necessarily true.
1016
01:08:22,724 --> 01:08:26,217
He could go to people
and ask them to do something
1017
01:08:26,394 --> 01:08:28,477
that they thought was impossible.
1018
01:08:29,814 --> 01:08:32,727
RUBINSTEIN: Steve did create
reality distortion around him.
1019
01:08:32,859 --> 01:08:35,021
You know, if he told you
the sky was green, for a while,
1020
01:08:35,153 --> 01:08:37,145
you'd kind of go, "Yeah, OK.
Yeah, the sky's green."
1021
01:08:39,866 --> 01:08:45,282
To me... marketing is about values.
1022
01:08:45,455 --> 01:08:50,371
This is a very complicated world.
It's a very noisy world.
1023
01:08:50,501 --> 01:08:53,790
And we're not going to get a chance
1024
01:08:53,921 --> 01:08:59,417
to get people to remember much
about us. No company is.
1025
01:09:00,470 --> 01:09:02,587
And so, we have to be really clear
1026
01:09:02,722 --> 01:09:05,055
on what we want them to know
about us.
1027
01:09:05,183 --> 01:09:07,391
Our customers want to know
who is Apple
1028
01:09:07,518 --> 01:09:09,384
and what is it that we stand for.
1029

MAN: Here's to the crazy ones.
1032
01:09:22,950 --> 01:09:25,283
NARRATOR: Jobs was so moved
by the ad he'd commissioned
1033
01:09:25,495 --> 01:09:28,988
that he produced a version where
he did the voiceover himself.
1034
01:09:29,123 --> 01:09:32,457
MAN & JOBS:
The round pegs in the square holes.

JOBS: The ones

They're not fond of rules, and they
have no respect for the status quo.
1037
01:09:41,678 --> 01:09:47,595
You can quote them, disagree with them,
glorify or vilify them.
1038
01:09:47,725 --> 01:09:51,059
About the only thing
you can't do is ignore them
1039
01:09:51,187 --> 01:09:53,099
because they change things.
1040
01:09:53,231 --> 01:09:59,353
While some may see them
as the crazy ones, we see genius.
1041
01:10:00,571 --> 01:10:04,190
Because the people who are crazy enough
to think they can change the world...
1042
01:10:05,451 --> 01:10:07,818
are the ones who do.
1043

It honors those people
who have changed the world.

Some of them are living,
some of them are not.
1045
01:10:21,384 --> 01:10:26,925
But the ones that aren't, you know
that if they ever used a computer,
1046
01:10:27,056 --> 01:10:28,217
it would have been a Mac.

The theme of the campaign is
"Think different."
1050
01:10:37,483 --> 01:10:39,145
NARRATOR: Think different.
1051
01:10:39,277 --> 01:10:41,815
In one brilliant, ungrammatical phrase,
1052
01:10:41,946 --> 01:10:47,863
Jobs told a story of rebellion,
the triumph of the iconoclastic genius.
1053
01:10:47,994 --> 01:10:51,829
With "Think different," was Jobs
trying to frame his own story?
1054
01:10:51,998 --> 01:10:55,412
More than a CEO,
he positioned himself as an oracle,
1055
01:10:55,543 --> 01:10:58,877
a man who could tell the future
of technology.
1056
01:11:09,098 --> 01:11:10,839
RUBINSTEIN: You know, a lot of times,
1057
01:11:10,975 --> 01:11:16,141
great products are sort of convergence
of the right set of technologies.
1058
01:11:16,272 --> 01:11:19,686
And Steve was brilliant
at getting to a fork in the road
1059
01:11:19,817 --> 01:11:22,434
and choosing the right fork.
1060
01:11:22,612 --> 01:11:26,322
We got a chance to play
with a variety of music players,
1061
01:11:26,449 --> 01:11:28,236
and they sucked.
1062
01:11:28,409 --> 01:11:32,653
So, we decided, Steve said,
you know, "Go build a music player."
1063
01:11:32,789 --> 01:11:37,033
So, I assembled a small team to take
a look at what it would take to do it,
1064
01:11:37,168 --> 01:11:40,627
and the conclusion was the technology
really wasn't ready yet.
1065
01:11:40,755 --> 01:11:44,169
Then in February of 2001,
1066
01:11:44,300 --> 01:11:47,509
the Toshiba guys brought out
the 1.8-inch hard drive.
1067
01:11:47,637 --> 01:11:48,923
So, as soon as I saw that I go,
1068
01:11:49,055 --> 01:11:51,138
"That's what we need
to build the iPod."
1069
01:11:51,265 --> 01:11:55,259
So, I went to Steve, and I go,
"OK, I know how to do it now."
1070
01:11:55,394 --> 01:11:56,805
"I need $10 million."
1071
01:11:56,938 --> 01:12:00,431
And Steve goes, "OK,
I'll write you a $10 million check."
1072
01:12:00,608 --> 01:12:03,646
I went to Fred to make sure
the check wouldn't bounce,
1073
01:12:03,778 --> 01:12:06,270
and Fred said, "Yeah, you know, go."
1074
01:12:06,405 --> 01:12:08,567
And so I started ramping the team up,
1075
01:12:08,699 --> 01:12:12,568
and, you know, we delivered
the iPod later that year.

01:13:03,379 --> 01:13:04,790
You know,
the whole computer industry
1094
01:13:04,922 --> 01:13:09,292
wants to forget about the humanist side
and just focus on the technology,
1095
01:13:09,427 --> 01:13:12,340
but we think there's
a whole other side to the coin,
1096
01:13:12,471 --> 01:13:14,554
which is what do you do
with these things?

the "sleep wake" button.
1148
01:16:01,182 --> 01:16:03,094
There we go, right there.
1149
01:16:03,225 --> 01:16:06,559
And to unlock the phone, I just take
my finger and slide it across.
1150
01:16:06,687 --> 01:16:09,145
All right, you want to see that again?
1151
01:16:09,273 --> 01:16:10,639
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
1152
01:16:10,816 --> 01:16:14,025
GRIGNON: So, he's got, you know,
several discrete parts of the demo.
1153
01:16:14,236 --> 01:16:20,028
We had a flask of Scotch with us,
and after every little part,
1154
01:16:20,159 --> 01:16:23,994
the person who was responsible for
that portion, you know, took a hit.
1155
01:16:24,121 --> 01:16:26,488
JOBS: I want to make a call to Jony Ive.
1156
01:16:26,707 --> 01:16:27,914
I can just push here,
1157
01:16:28,042 --> 01:16:30,580
and I see Jony Ive's contacts
with all his information.
1158
01:16:30,711 --> 01:16:33,419
The Jony Ive call, oh, my God.
1159
01:16:33,547 --> 01:16:36,460
There's all sorts of ways that
this could have gone sideways.
1160
01:16:36,592 --> 01:16:39,926
- Hey, Jony, how you doing?
- I'm good. How you doing?
1161
01:16:40,054 --> 01:16:44,640
Well, it's been two-and-a-half years,
and I can't tell you how thrilled I am
1162
01:16:44,767 --> 01:16:47,555
to make the first public phone call
with iPhone.
1163
01:16:47,686 --> 01:16:50,394
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
1164
01:16:50,523 --> 01:16:51,934
He goes to the music.
1165
01:16:52,066 --> 01:16:54,274
Let's go into Dylan here.
1166
01:16:54,401 --> 01:16:56,313
Let's play Like a Rolling Stone.

(MUSIC PLAYS)
1168
01:16:58,989 --> 01:17:00,605
He gets the web browser up there.
1169
01:17:00,741 --> 01:17:04,234
I want to show you Safari
running on a mobile device.
1170
01:17:04,370 --> 01:17:06,532
So, let's go to the web. Boom.
1171
01:17:06,664 --> 01:17:08,326
- (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
- Unbelievable.
1172
01:17:08,457 --> 01:17:11,120
And then at the end,
he has that moment
1173
01:17:11,252 --> 01:17:13,289
where he swizzles it all together.
1174
01:17:13,420 --> 01:17:17,004
At the end, where he orders thousands
of lattes from some, you know,
1175
01:17:17,133 --> 01:17:19,420
poor woman at a Starbucks
down the road.
1176
01:17:19,552 --> 01:17:21,965
WOMAN: Good morning. This is Starbucks
and how can I help you?
1177
01:17:22,096 --> 01:17:24,554
Yes, I'd liked to order
4,000 lattes to go, please.
1178
01:17:24,682 --> 01:17:26,093
- (LAUGHTER)
- No, just kidding.
1179
01:17:26,225 --> 01:17:29,639
- Wrong number. Thank you. Bye-bye.
- (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
1180
01:17:29,770 --> 01:17:31,477
OK.
1181
01:17:38,737 --> 01:17:41,275
As soon as the demo was over,
we left.
1182
01:17:41,407 --> 01:17:46,243
And we just turned San Francisco
into a... It was a shit show.
1183
01:17:53,586 --> 01:17:55,498
That was a night to remember.
1184
01:17:56,672 --> 01:18:00,211
Man, you just had this release
of years of anxiety.
1185
01:18:00,342 --> 01:18:03,585
And then we got up tomorrow,
the next day, and did it all over again.
1186
01:18:03,721 --> 01:18:05,587
And we had to finish the product
at this point.
1187
01:18:05,764 --> 01:18:08,302
And that was tough,
especially with a raging hangover,
1188
01:18:08,434 --> 01:18:10,346
but it was a lot of fun.
(LAUGHS)
1189
01:18:10,477 --> 01:18:14,312
The biggest thing he made was
the iPhone, definitely.
1190
01:18:14,440 --> 01:18:15,976
He made the iPhone,
1191
01:18:16,150 --> 01:18:19,769
which shocked the world
with its touch screen and stuff.

What? What is that?
Is it an iPhone?

No, it is that 4G phone on Sprint.

why would I want it?

Well, it's similar to an iPhone,
but has a bigger screen.

I don't care.
1221
01:20:29,783 --> 01:20:32,446
The internet speeds
are around three times faster.
1222
01:20:32,578 --> 01:20:35,195
- I don't care.
- It fucking prints money.

Even if one of those wishes
is for an iPhone.

- OK, fine.
1226
01:20:43,589 --> 01:20:46,457
Then what the hell entices you
about the iPhone 4,
1227
01:20:46,592 --> 01:20:48,549
if you don't mind me asking?
1228
01:20:48,677 --> 01:20:50,384
It is an iPhone.
1229
01:21:00,606 --> 01:21:05,192
TURKLE: I remember the first set of
people I interviewed about the iPhone.
1230
01:21:05,319 --> 01:21:07,902
I've been interviewing people
about their computers
1231
01:21:08,030 --> 01:21:09,987
for, you know, decades.
1232
01:21:10,157 --> 01:21:16,324
I've never seen this kind of connection
before with an object.
1233
01:21:18,290 --> 01:21:21,909
In the beginning,
the impulse was to sit you down
1234
01:21:22,044 --> 01:21:25,754
and to show you everything
on their iPhone.
1235
01:21:25,964 --> 01:21:29,548
As time's gone on,
there's been less of that
1236
01:21:29,676 --> 01:21:34,341
and more of what I call
the "alone together phenomenon."
1237
01:21:37,851 --> 01:21:42,016
It has turned out to be
an isolating technology.

01:21:56,829 --> 01:22:00,823
TURKLE: Yes, I love that.
People fall in love with their dreams,
1241
01:22:00,958 --> 01:22:04,622
and they walk around
with hoods over their head
1242
01:22:04,753 --> 01:22:09,043

fascinated by their dreams.

was having fresh batteries
for her video monitor.
1245
01:22:19,059 --> 01:22:20,721
TURKLE: It's a little bit like that.
1246
01:22:20,853 --> 01:22:24,938
It's a dream machine,
and you become fascinated
1247
01:22:25,065 --> 01:22:28,979
by the world that you can find
on these screens.

but unlike Bill Gates,
1280

Jobs told people that giving away money
was a waste of time.

Under Jobs, Apple terminated
its philanthropic programs.
1282
01:24:57,050 --> 01:25:00,168
Jobs kept acting
as if Apple was a start-up,
1283
01:25:00,345 --> 01:25:04,635
but by 2010, it was one of the most
valuable companies in the world.
1284

Among the rich and famous,
Jobs was a compelling character.

But what were his values as a citizen?
1286
01:25:14,860 --> 01:25:17,443
Was he interested in power
to change the world

I get a call from Steve's admin,
"Steve wants to see you."
1296

He sits down. He just kind of sits
there, and he looks at me.
1297
01:25:53,190 --> 01:25:56,604
And I start to kind of launch
into my little spiel that I had planned,
1298
01:25:56,735 --> 01:26:00,854

you fucked up Bluetooth, right?"

01:26:28,725 --> 01:26:33,561
Jobs was willing to let Apple bend
or even break the law.
1309
01:26:33,689 --> 01:26:36,853
In 2011, a class-action lawsuit
1310
01:26:36,983 --> 01:26:40,272
filed by more than
64,000 Silicon Valley workers
1311
01:26:40,445 --> 01:26:44,689
revealed that Jobs, along with
the CEOs of Google, Intel and Adobe
1312
01:26:44,825 --> 01:26:48,364
had colluded not to recruit
each other's employees.
1313
01:26:48,537 --> 01:26:51,655
If you're working there at Apple,
or wherever you're working,
1314
01:26:51,790 --> 01:26:54,749
you've got another company
that you might move to
1315
01:26:54,876 --> 01:26:57,789
and take your expertise with you
and earn more money at that company.
1316
01:26:57,921 --> 01:27:00,834
They won't accept your résumé.
They won't return your phone calls.
1317
01:27:00,966 --> 01:27:03,504
Right. Because they won't
let them poach each other.
1318
01:27:03,635 --> 01:27:06,048
- Correct.
- That's not a legitimate situation.
1319
01:27:06,179 --> 01:27:08,045
You know what some of
the strongest evidence was?
1320
01:27:08,181 --> 01:27:10,468
E-mails of the late, great Steve Jobs.
1321
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:12,262
- Really?
- Tons of them, yes.
1322
01:27:17,733 --> 01:27:20,692
NARRATOR: Less than a month after
Google co-founder Sergey Brin
1323
01:27:20,819 --> 01:27:22,856
received this threat from Jobs,
1324
01:27:22,988 --> 01:27:28,529
Google circulated a "do not cold
call" list that included Apple.
1325
01:27:28,660 --> 01:27:31,198
Two years later, Google tried again,
1326
01:27:31,329 --> 01:27:34,197
and Jobs e-mailed Google CEO
Eric Schmidt
1327
01:27:34,332 --> 01:27:36,745
to remind him of their
gentlemen's agreement.
1328
01:27:39,254 --> 01:27:41,587
Schmidt placated Jobs by assuring him
1329
01:27:41,715 --> 01:27:45,584
that the culprit would be fired
within the hour.
1330
01:27:45,719 --> 01:27:48,427
When Jobs learned
that the woman had been canned,
1331
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:52,390
he showed his pleasure
in two efficient keystrokes.
1332
01:27:58,023 --> 01:28:01,266
MAN: Someone's going to come out
of the door. Do we want a shot of that?
1333
01:28:05,530 --> 01:28:08,022
WOMAN 1: Are you taking a picture
of the inside?
1334
01:28:08,158 --> 01:28:10,616
WOMAN 2: We're taking a picture
of the Apple logo on the door.
1335
01:28:10,744 --> 01:28:14,203
OK, we cannot have people
taking pictures.
1336
01:28:14,331 --> 01:28:16,072
REPORTER: Tonight, a Wall Street scandal
1337
01:28:16,208 --> 01:28:19,042
has reached deep into
an iconic American company,
1338
01:28:19,169 --> 01:28:20,705
the Apple Corporation.
1339
01:28:20,837 --> 01:28:23,295
It all centers on an alleged scheme
1340
01:28:23,423 --> 01:28:27,667
to under-report Apple's expenses
by $40 million,
1341
01:28:27,803 --> 01:28:29,544
including $20 million
1342
01:28:29,679 --> 01:28:33,218
that went straight to the company's
celebrity CEO Steve Jobs,
1343
01:28:33,391 --> 01:28:38,227
in the form of what are known
as backdated options.
1344
01:28:38,355 --> 01:28:42,895
I first met Steve Jobs shortly after
I became editor of Fortune magazine.
1345
01:28:43,944 --> 01:28:46,652
"And I said," Listen, we'd love to have
a good relationship with Apple
1346
01:28:46,780 --> 01:28:47,780
and do stories about you."
1347
01:28:47,906 --> 01:28:50,489
And he said, "Look,
this is how it's going to work."
1348
01:28:50,617 --> 01:28:52,779
"You know,
you want to do a story about us,
1349
01:28:52,911 --> 01:28:56,780
you call us up, propose it,
you know, we'll think about it."
1350
01:28:56,915 --> 01:28:59,783
"We'll basically
come up with the ideas with you,"
1351
01:28:59,918 --> 01:29:02,160
or come up with the ideas,
we'll call you,
1352
01:29:02,295 --> 01:29:06,960
"we'll figure out who the writer is going
to be on your staff to do the story."
1353
01:29:07,092 --> 01:29:11,211
And I said, "Well, you know, Steve,
that's not really how we do things."
1354
01:29:11,346 --> 01:29:13,429
And he goes, "That's how
you do things with Apple."
1355
01:29:14,432 --> 01:29:15,432
So I say to myself,
1356
01:29:15,517 --> 01:29:18,601
"Why don't we do a story
about the stock options?"
1357
01:29:18,728 --> 01:29:21,095
"Because no one's
really figured it out."
1358
01:29:21,231 --> 01:29:25,851
So, I decided to put one of our top
investigative reporters on the story,
1359
01:29:25,986 --> 01:29:26,986
Peter Elkind.
1360
01:29:27,112 --> 01:29:30,526
Steve Jobs had a very talented group
of key lieutenants around him.
1361
01:29:30,699 --> 01:29:34,989
And he wanted give his people stock
option grants that were so big,
1362
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:37,328
that they wouldn't even think about
going somewhere else
1363
01:29:37,455 --> 01:29:39,367
because the upside was so enormous.
1364
01:29:39,499 --> 01:29:44,619
The key thing is if the stock goes up,
1365
01:29:44,754 --> 01:29:47,872
which we always hope it does,
1366
01:29:48,008 --> 01:29:53,299
then the golden handcuffs are
dramatically increased,
1367
01:29:53,430 --> 01:29:56,639
which is what I was hoping
would happen.
1368
01:29:57,517 --> 01:29:59,725
NARRATOR: To make those option deals
even sweeter,
1369
01:29:59,853 --> 01:30:04,063
companies would allow executives
to buy stock on dates in the past
1370
01:30:04,190 --> 01:30:05,351
when the price was low
1371
01:30:05,483 --> 01:30:08,442
so executives could make
millions in the blink of an eye.
1372
01:30:08,570 --> 01:30:10,357
This was called "backdating."
1373
01:30:10,488 --> 01:30:12,320
And it seemed like
the perfect solution,
1374
01:30:12,532 --> 01:30:13,532
except for one thing.
1375
01:30:13,700 --> 01:30:16,943
If not properly reported,
backdating is illegal.
1376
01:30:17,078 --> 01:30:20,571
200 US public companies
are under investigation
1377
01:30:20,749 --> 01:30:24,914
over charges of backdated stock options
for their senior executives.
1378
01:30:26,296 --> 01:30:28,128
NARRATOR: Backdating was a dicey game,
1379
01:30:28,256 --> 01:30:30,919
and it landed several executives
in jail for fraud,
1380
01:30:31,051 --> 01:30:34,544
but it became a frequent practice
at Apple under Jobs.
1381
01:30:34,721 --> 01:30:37,134
ELKIND: Apple eventually conducted
an internal investigation
1382
01:30:37,265 --> 01:30:38,551
and found thousands of cases
1383
01:30:38,725 --> 01:30:40,933
where stock options had been
handled inappropriately.
1384
01:30:41,061 --> 01:30:43,599
None of that had taken place
according to the company's own report
1385
01:30:43,855 --> 01:30:46,063
before Steve Jobs had returned there.
1386
01:30:46,191 --> 01:30:49,229
A key advisor on many of
the troubled backdating schemes
1387
01:30:49,361 --> 01:30:52,980
was a powerful Silicon Valley attorney,
Larry Sonsini.
1388
01:30:53,114 --> 01:30:55,197
ELKIND: Larry Sonsini had kind of
1389
01:30:55,325 --> 01:30:57,487
spread this dark art
in the world of Silicon Valley.
1390
01:30:57,619 --> 01:31:01,363
He's the guy who whispered to the CEOs
of all the top tech companies,
1391
01:31:01,539 --> 01:31:03,030
"Here's how you can do this."
1392
01:31:03,166 --> 01:31:05,909
He was certainly very close
to Steve Jobs.
1393
01:31:06,044 --> 01:31:09,537
NARRATOR: Sonsini had known Jobs
since Apple went public in 1980
1394
01:31:09,714 --> 01:31:13,298
and had been a board member at Pixar
when it created a vast program
1395
01:31:13,426 --> 01:31:16,635
of brazenly backdated options
for top executives.
1396
01:31:16,805 --> 01:31:19,593
Yet despite Jobs's long history
with backdating,
1397
01:31:19,724 --> 01:31:23,092
Apple's own investigation,
led by Al Gore,
1398
01:31:23,228 --> 01:31:26,016
absolved Jobs of any wrongdoing.
1399
01:31:26,147 --> 01:31:28,855
ELKIND: Their conclusion was that
Steve Jobs didn't appreciate
1400
01:31:28,984 --> 01:31:31,522
the accounting implications
of the issue.
1401
01:31:31,653 --> 01:31:34,817
MAN: I know you're not an accountant,
but do you have an understanding
1402
01:31:34,990 --> 01:31:38,609
as to what generally accepted
accounting principles are?
1403
01:31:38,785 --> 01:31:40,447
Not really.
1404
01:31:40,578 --> 01:31:42,410
NARRATOR: Jobs's accounting naiveté
1405
01:31:42,539 --> 01:31:45,407
would be challenged by
his own CFO, Fred Anderson.
1406
01:31:45,542 --> 01:31:48,000
A hero during Apple's comeback,
1407
01:31:48,128 --> 01:31:52,623
Anderson was one exec who
took the fall for backdating.
1408
01:31:52,799 --> 01:31:55,917
MAN: As Apple's chief financial officer,
Mr Anderson,
1409
01:31:56,052 --> 01:31:59,295
you had overall responsibility
to ensure that the company
1410
01:31:59,431 --> 01:32:03,095
complied with all financial
reporting requirements, true?
1411
01:32:03,226 --> 01:32:05,343
On advice of council,
1412
01:32:05,478 --> 01:32:09,563
I decline to answer based
on my Fifth Amendment rights.
1413
01:32:09,691 --> 01:32:11,273
NARRATOR: When the SEC investigated,
1414
01:32:11,401 --> 01:32:14,610
Apple effectively
threw Anderson under the bus.
1415
01:32:14,779 --> 01:32:17,112
He was forced to resign
from Apple's board
1416
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:20,404
and to pay $3.6 million in penalties.
1417
01:32:20,535 --> 01:32:24,279
But in a very unusual statement,
Anderson's lawyer made it clear
1418
01:32:24,414 --> 01:32:28,829
that Fred had relied on statements
by Jobs that turned out to be false
1419
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:32,829
and that Anderson had explained
the dangers of backdating to Jobs.
1420
01:32:32,964 --> 01:32:37,550
Now, this contradicted exactly what
Jobs and the company had maintained
1421
01:32:37,677 --> 01:32:40,215
which was that Steve Jobs didn't
appreciate why this was a problem.
1422
01:32:40,346 --> 01:32:42,929
ELKIND: I think the notion
that Steve Jobs knew nothing
1423
01:32:43,058 --> 01:32:45,596
and Fred Anderson and Nancy Heinen
were entirely responsible
1424
01:32:45,852 --> 01:32:46,852
is ridiculous.
1425
01:32:47,979 --> 01:32:49,345
REPORTER: The company has confirmed
1426
01:32:49,481 --> 01:32:52,474
that Jobs himself
was awarded backdated options
1427
01:32:52,609 --> 01:32:55,602
that carried a false date
in October 2001.
1428
01:32:55,737 --> 01:32:58,571
According to Apple's own report
to the SEC,
1429
01:32:58,698 --> 01:33:03,159
"The award was" improperly recorded
as occurring at a special board meeting
1430
01:33:03,286 --> 01:33:06,870
when in fact such a board meeting
did not occur."
1431
01:33:06,998 --> 01:33:12,960
NARRATOR: A fictitious board meeting
that awarded Jobs 7.5 million options.
1432
01:33:13,088 --> 01:33:15,045
Just what was going on?
1433
01:33:15,173 --> 01:33:17,165
At first, all fingers pointed
1434
01:33:17,300 --> 01:33:19,963
to another member
of the Apple comeback team,
1435
01:33:20,095 --> 01:33:21,757
General Counsel Nancy Heinen,
1436
01:33:21,930 --> 01:33:25,514
who had certified the minutes
of the phony board meeting.
1437
01:33:25,642 --> 01:33:28,885
Like Anderson,
Heinen would settle with the SEC
1438
01:33:29,020 --> 01:33:31,683
without admitting or denying guilt.
1439
01:33:31,856 --> 01:33:37,147
But her silence raised questions.
Would she have just decided on her own
1440
01:33:37,278 --> 01:33:41,898
to fake a board meeting
in order to enrich Steve Jobs?
1441
01:33:42,033 --> 01:33:44,070
Who wanted this done?
1442
01:33:45,578 --> 01:33:51,074
As we've seen in the discussions
of the past hour,
1443
01:33:51,209 --> 01:33:55,954
I spent a lot of time trying
to take care of people at Apple
1444
01:33:56,089 --> 01:34:02,962
and to, you know,
surprise and delight them
1445
01:34:03,096 --> 01:34:08,342
with what a career at Apple
could mean to them and their families.
1446
01:34:09,310 --> 01:34:13,350
And I felt that the board wasn't
really doing the same with me.
1447
01:34:13,481 --> 01:34:17,316
- MAN: Right.
- So I was...
1448
01:34:20,697 --> 01:34:24,566
hurt, I suppose would be
the most accurate word.
1449
01:34:24,701 --> 01:34:27,990
I'd been working, you know,
I don't know,
1450
01:34:28,121 --> 01:34:30,613
four years, five years of my life,
1451
01:34:30,748 --> 01:34:34,583
and not seeing my family
very much and stuff.
1452
01:34:34,711 --> 01:34:37,169
And I just felt like
1453
01:34:37,297 --> 01:34:40,131
there's nobody looking out
for me here, you know?
1454
01:34:40,258 --> 01:34:41,419
Right. OK.
1455
01:34:41,551 --> 01:34:47,843
So, I wanted them to do something,
and so we talked about it.
1456
01:34:48,016 --> 01:34:51,134
NOCERA: There's no question that
the directives came from him.
1457
01:34:51,269 --> 01:34:53,602
Yet, when the SEC investigated,
1458
01:34:53,730 --> 01:34:56,973
it was as if he was immune.
1459
01:34:58,026 --> 01:35:01,940
I'd wished they'd have come to me
and said,
1460
01:35:02,071 --> 01:35:05,690
"Steve, we've got this new grant
for you,"
1461
01:35:05,825 --> 01:35:08,693
without me having to suggest anything
1462
01:35:08,828 --> 01:35:12,947
or be involved in anything
or negotiate anything.
1463
01:35:13,082 --> 01:35:16,120
That would have been much better
from the company's point of view
1464
01:35:16,252 --> 01:35:23,045
because it would have made me
feel better at that time.
1465
01:35:24,886 --> 01:35:26,673
NARRATOR: According to one analyst,
1466
01:35:26,804 --> 01:35:28,761
if Jobs had gone to jail
for backdating,
1467
01:35:28,890 --> 01:35:32,850
the company's value would have
dropped by $22 billion.
1468
01:35:35,521 --> 01:35:37,979
But Jobs was Apple's indispensable man,
1469
01:35:38,107 --> 01:35:43,353
and Apple, Silicon Valley's

NARRATOR: When the US Senate
questioned Jobs's successor,
1475
01:35:57,001 --> 01:35:59,493
Tim Cook,
about the company's tax practices,
1476
01:35:59,629 --> 01:36:03,088
many of the subcommittee members
took a moment to state,
1477
01:36:03,216 --> 01:36:08,086
for the record, just how tough
they were willing to be.
1478
01:36:08,221 --> 01:36:13,762
I love Apple, and I'm very proud
of Apple as an American company.
1479
01:36:13,893 --> 01:36:17,307
Apple is an American success story.
1480
01:36:17,522 --> 01:36:22,392
Its products are justifiably well-known
and used throughout the world.

Just like millions around the world,
I carry an iPhone in my pocket.

What may not be so well-known
1483
01:36:28,032 --> 01:36:32,402
is that Apple also has a highly
developed tax-avoidance system,
1484
01:36:32,537 --> 01:36:36,577
a system through which it has
amassed more than $100 billion
1485
01:36:36,708 --> 01:36:39,621
in off-shore cash in a tax haven.

01:36:41,796 --> 01:36:45,164
NARRATOR: Apple found its tax haven
in the green fields of Ireland
1488
01:36:45,300 --> 01:36:49,294
where Jobs and his team set up
holding companies in the early 1980s.

The scheme is known as
a "Double Irish".

REPORTER: Holly Hill industrial estate
1491
01:36:55,518 --> 01:36:58,226
can scarcely be compared
to California's Silicon Valley.
1492
01:36:58,354 --> 01:37:02,564
There is the feeling that Apple of Cork
may become something of a Silicon Hill.
1493
01:37:07,405 --> 01:37:12,946
NARRATOR: Today, Apple holds more than
$137 billion of its profits overseas.
1494
01:37:13,119 --> 01:37:18,080
Much of it in two small Irish
companies, one with no employees.
1495
01:37:18,207 --> 01:37:22,372
While the actual cash is held
and invested by New York banks,
1496
01:37:22,503 --> 01:37:26,338
the paper profits are steered
through an office park in Reno, Nevada,
1497
01:37:26,466 --> 01:37:31,257
and then back to the Emerald Isle
where it's taxed at rates less than 1%.
1498
01:37:32,388 --> 01:37:34,596
Senator, we're proud
that all of our R&D,
1499
01:37:34,724 --> 01:37:36,807
or the vast majority of it,
is in the United States.
1500
01:37:36,934 --> 01:37:40,018
LEVIN: I know, but the profits that
result from it are sitting in Ireland
1501
01:37:40,188 --> 01:37:43,852
in corporations that you control
that don't pay taxes.
1502
01:37:44,025 --> 01:37:48,486
Part of the mythology
of these new companies
1503
01:37:48,613 --> 01:37:53,699
was that they in some way reflected
something about America.
1504
01:37:55,119 --> 01:37:58,829
Both Google and Apple
have played on the idea
1505
01:37:58,956 --> 01:38:02,245
of political virtue as part
of selling their company.
1506
01:38:02,377 --> 01:38:09,170
So then to find out they weren't about
political virtue is distressing.

NARRATOR: Steve Jobs said he wanted
to change the world, but into what?
1508
01:38:20,144 --> 01:38:23,763
Companies all over the world
make choices on how to treat workers,
1509
01:38:23,898 --> 01:38:26,891
what to give back
and where to put their money.
1510
01:38:27,026 --> 01:38:29,188
What were Steve's choices?
1511
01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:32,438
In meditation, he found simplicity.
1512

KANE: I thought it was important
to cover China
1516
01:38:56,806 --> 01:39:01,267
because Apple has
all of its products made there.
1517
01:39:01,394 --> 01:39:04,307
I mean,
they design their own products,
1518
01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:06,772
but the manufacturing is done in China,
1519
01:39:06,899 --> 01:39:10,768
and so it's caught up in another
country's industrial revolution.
1520

out of Apple's control.

at two Apple supplier factories

caused by careless safety procedures.

The solvents used to sparkle
Apple's touch screens
1527
01:39:31,883 --> 01:39:35,376
were powerful but dangerous,
causing nerve damage
1528
01:39:35,511 --> 01:39:39,425
that led to weakness
and loss of touch in workers.

saturate the run-off that flows
into local waterways.

to discuss the issue
and even wrote to Jobs personally.

except one. Apple.

01:41:31,168 --> 01:41:37,381
What makes his story incredibly vivid
is that in today's day and age,
1555
01:41:37,508 --> 01:41:41,047
there's CCTV cameras recording
where his movements were.
1556
01:41:41,178 --> 01:41:45,798
He had a conversation with his friends
on the Chinese Twitter site,
1557
01:41:45,933 --> 01:41:49,847
and you could really track
what had happened.

high and low for the prototype
1559

before reporting it missing
to Foxconn security.
1560

That evening, officials took him
into an interrogation room
1561
01:42:00,448 --> 01:42:01,905
where he was assaulted
1562
01:42:02,033 --> 01:42:05,617
and was told police would arrive
the next morning to question him.
1563

Yong was finally permitted
to leave the factory at 10:41pm.

He wandered to an internet cafe

where he chatted online
with his friends.
1566
01:42:32,772 --> 01:42:35,640
He logged off
around 1:30 in the morning.
1567

spotted him in an elevator

At 3:33am, security cameras recorded
Sun Danyong jumping to his death.

KANE: Over a period of two years or so,
there were 18 suicides.
1572
01:43:19,652 --> 01:43:24,989
Foxconn set up these nets
to catch people who fall off.
1573
01:43:25,116 --> 01:43:27,403
People were jumping
off of the buildings,
1574
01:43:27,535 --> 01:43:29,822
so they were going to
prevent people from dying
1575
01:43:29,954 --> 01:43:32,992
by having safety nets to catch them.
1576
01:43:38,963 --> 01:43:41,797
You know, they've had,
if you count the attempted suicides,
1577
01:43:41,924 --> 01:43:43,881
13 so far this year.
1578
01:43:44,009 --> 01:43:49,721
And while that is still...
They have 400,000 people at this place.
1579
01:43:49,849 --> 01:43:53,843
So, 13 out of 400,000
is 26 per year so far.
1580
01:43:53,978 --> 01:44:00,100
For 400,000 people or, you know,
let's say seven per 100,000 people,
1581
01:44:00,234 --> 01:44:04,319
that's still under the US suicide rate
of 11 per 100,000 people,

WOMAN: Right. It's in one place, too.
1584
01:44:08,284 --> 01:44:10,697
Well, you measure it
by number of people.

You measure it by numbers of people.
So, we're all over this.

And it's... It's very troubling.
1587

to understand what's happening,

and more importantly,
trying to understand how we can help.

NARRATOR: Apple isn't the only company
to manufacture in China,
1590
01:44:34,894 --> 01:44:38,808
but it is different in one way.
Its enormous profit margin.
1591
01:44:38,939 --> 01:44:43,024
The profit on every iPhone 4
was over $300.
1592
01:44:43,194 --> 01:44:48,110
Yet Apple paid its Chinese workforce
less than $12 per phone.
1593
01:44:48,240 --> 01:44:51,950
If Jobs had really "thought different,"
shouldn't he have cared more

about the people
who touched the iPhones
1595

Even the most reasoned,
judicious criticism

about labor practices in China,
for crying out loud, it didn't matter.

They loved this company.
They loved its products.
1602
01:45:34,078 --> 01:45:37,697
They loved the status symbol
of having these things in their hand
1603
01:45:37,832 --> 01:45:41,246
and looking at it all the time,
and it just felt cool,
1604
01:45:41,377 --> 01:45:46,122
and they'd stood in line for two days
to buy one,
1605
01:45:46,257 --> 01:45:48,670
and they didn't want to hear it.
1606

NARRATOR: I was one of those people
who had to have an iPhone.
1607
01:45:57,893 --> 01:46:00,601
I didn't want
to hear about other products,
1608
01:46:00,729 --> 01:46:02,470
and I believed against all reason
1609
01:46:02,648 --> 01:46:06,016
that owning an iPhone made me
part of something better.
1610
01:46:06,151 --> 01:46:09,986
And when it was in my pocket,
for every idle moment,
1611
01:46:10,114 --> 01:46:14,529
my hand was drawn to it,
like Frodo's hand to the ring.
1612
01:46:15,411 --> 01:46:18,404
NOCERA: The real magic of it
is that these myths
1613
01:46:18,539 --> 01:46:24,001
are surrounding a company
that makes phones.
1614
01:46:25,504 --> 01:46:27,917
A phone is not a mythical device.

Um...
1616
01:46:31,218 --> 01:46:38,842
And it sort of makes you wonder
less about Apple than about us.
1617

NOCERA: The myth-making
around technology in general
1618
01:46:43,981 --> 01:46:50,854
allows the technologist to do things
that would be viewed as heinous
1619
01:46:50,988 --> 01:46:54,152
if they were done
by other kinds of companies.
1620

JOBS: This is a story that's amazing.
1621
01:46:58,537 --> 01:47:03,032
It's got theft, it's got buying
stolen property, it's got extortion.

about it,
1626
01:47:13,177 --> 01:47:16,670
the first scene would be set in
a beer garden in Silicon Valley.

As he swilled a few steins of Pilsner,

Apple's Gray Powell was testing out
a new iPhone prototype.

But when Powell staggered
out of the bar, he forgot one thing.
1630
01:47:28,776 --> 01:47:30,517
The iPhone.
1631
01:47:30,694 --> 01:47:35,814
It was found on a bar stool
by a college student named Brian Hogan.
1632
01:47:37,159 --> 01:47:39,071
MAN: And this e-mail
comes into our tip box,
1633
01:47:39,203 --> 01:47:43,538
and there was this guy claiming
that he had this new iPhone prototype.
1634
01:47:43,707 --> 01:47:47,872
Getting inside Apple's security fort,
1635
01:47:48,003 --> 01:47:50,461
and look at something
that is under wrap.
1636
01:47:50,589 --> 01:47:54,424
But back then, when Steve Jobs was
at the helm and in his full power,
1637
01:47:54,551 --> 01:47:56,543
it was impossible
to get anything from them.
1638
01:47:56,720 --> 01:47:58,632
It was incredibly exciting.
1639
01:47:58,806 --> 01:48:01,719
At that point, Apple didn't have
a whole lot of leaks.
1640
01:48:01,850 --> 01:48:04,843
And then I go to Nick and I say,
1641
01:48:04,979 --> 01:48:08,063
"We think it's the real thing,
and they want their money."
1642
01:48:08,190 --> 01:48:10,182
And Nick said, "Anything you want."
1643
01:48:10,317 --> 01:48:14,106
For us, there's no question
as to whether we write the story or not.
1644
01:48:14,238 --> 01:48:17,402
That's what was so disturbing,
I think, to Steve Jobs,
1645
01:48:17,533 --> 01:48:19,775
was that he'd been used to having
1646
01:48:19,910 --> 01:48:22,323
a much more controlled
relationship with the press.
1647
01:48:22,454 --> 01:48:25,162
Our plan was to take pictures of it,
1648
01:48:25,290 --> 01:48:28,499
write about it,
and then return it back to Apple.
1649
01:48:28,627 --> 01:48:31,165
Hey, I'm Jason Chen.
This is the new iPhone.
1650
01:48:31,296 --> 01:48:33,333
Here are some of the new features.
1651
01:48:33,465 --> 01:48:36,879
DIAZ: In the beginning, it was OK.
Only nerds looking at it, I guess.
1652
01:48:37,011 --> 01:48:38,422
And then the story
started to pick up.
1653
01:48:38,554 --> 01:48:40,386
(MOUSE CLICKING)
1654
01:48:40,514 --> 01:48:43,848
You know, it was the biggest
scoop in tech in history.
1655
01:48:43,976 --> 01:48:46,059
("MARIMBA" RINGTONE PLAYS)
1656
01:48:46,228 --> 01:48:49,312
"Hi, this is Steve Jobs.
I want my phone back."
1657
01:48:49,440 --> 01:48:51,557
And it was
in a really charming voice.
1658
01:48:51,692 --> 01:48:55,936
And it's same way you'd ask for,
you know, a hat you'd lent a friend.
1659
01:48:56,071 --> 01:49:00,782
I'd met him a couple of times before.
It was his voice, unmistakably.
1660
01:49:00,909 --> 01:49:02,400
He said, "You know, I'm not mad at you."
1661
01:49:02,536 --> 01:49:04,573
"It's someone we worked with
who lost it."
1662
01:49:04,705 --> 01:49:06,697
"But you've had your fun,
and we need this phone back
1663
01:49:06,874 --> 01:49:08,490
before it gets into the wrong hands."
1664
01:49:08,625 --> 01:49:12,118
And at that point, I was thinking,
"Isn't it already in the wrong hands?"
1665
01:49:17,551 --> 01:49:21,886
Nick at that moment said,
"Ask for a letter."
1666
01:49:22,014 --> 01:49:24,006
"Ask for an official letter
asking for it."
1667
01:49:24,141 --> 01:49:26,679
"We need the actual confirmation
that this is the real thing."
1668
01:49:26,894 --> 01:49:29,932
LAM: The next call,
he said he didn't want to claim it.
1669
01:49:30,064 --> 01:49:32,226
He really changed his tone
at that point,
1670
01:49:32,357 --> 01:49:34,974
because it would affect
the sales of the current model,
1671
01:49:35,194 --> 01:49:36,901
which is kind of disappointing,
you know?
1672
01:49:37,029 --> 01:49:39,521
You hear all these stories about
this guy not caring about money.
1673
01:49:39,656 --> 01:49:42,069
And he goes,
"This is some serious shit."
1674
01:49:42,201 --> 01:49:45,114
"If I have to serve you papers,
I'm coming for something,
1675
01:49:45,245 --> 01:49:48,079
and it's going to mean someone in your
organization is going to go to jail."
1676
01:49:48,207 --> 01:49:51,291
For a reporter who's got a chip
on his shoulder against corporations,
1677
01:49:51,418 --> 01:49:55,037
that's like,
"Martyr me. Please, martyr me."
1678
01:49:55,172 --> 01:49:59,257
"I'll go to jail for an iPhone.
Like, really."
1679
01:49:59,384 --> 01:50:03,219
He called back later and he said,
"OK, we'll get you the letter,"
1680
01:50:03,347 --> 01:50:05,555
and he was just resigned and cold.
1681
01:50:05,682 --> 01:50:08,720
DIAZ: So, they sent us the letter,
and they sent a lawyer from Apple
1682
01:50:08,894 --> 01:50:11,227
to Jason's house to pick up the phone.
1683
01:50:11,355 --> 01:50:13,563
It was a very cold exchange.
1684
01:50:13,732 --> 01:50:16,270
He said, "I believe you have
something of mine," or something.
1685
01:50:16,401 --> 01:50:19,485
And I handed it to him, and he said,
"Thank you very much," and he left.
1686
01:50:19,613 --> 01:50:22,481
PRODUCER: Was that the end of it,
as far as Apple was concerned?
1687
01:50:22,616 --> 01:50:23,948
No, of course not.
1688
01:50:24,076 --> 01:50:27,695
(CHUCKLES)
Then all the nightmares started.
1689
01:50:30,749 --> 01:50:32,706
(SPEAKING IN KOREAN)
1690
01:50:43,595 --> 01:50:45,882
(LAUGHTER)
1691
01:50:46,098 --> 01:50:48,636
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
1692
01:50:54,773 --> 01:50:58,517
The cops had to bash in the guy's door?
1693
01:50:58,652 --> 01:51:01,941
Don't they know there's an app for that?
1694
01:51:02,072 --> 01:51:04,439
DENTON: Anyone who'd worked
with Jobs before
1695
01:51:04,575 --> 01:51:07,693
would know of other instances
where he'd been a bully.
1696
01:51:07,828 --> 01:51:10,616
But this was probably
the most public evidence of bullying.
1697
01:51:11,832 --> 01:51:15,451
CHEN: My wife and I went out for dinner.
We came back home,
1698
01:51:15,586 --> 01:51:18,124
and we noticed the garage door
was slightly opened.
1699
01:51:18,255 --> 01:51:21,623
You know, and I was wondering,
"What's going on?"
1700
01:51:21,758 --> 01:51:24,501
And I opened it all the way,
and I noticed there were people inside.
1701
01:51:24,678 --> 01:51:28,171
And I thought, you know,
"Holy crap, I'm being robbed."
1702
01:51:28,307 --> 01:51:30,765
And then I looked closer
and realized it was cops.
1703
01:51:33,061 --> 01:51:35,769
NARRATOR: The cops seized boxes
of Chen's personal property
1704
01:51:35,939 --> 01:51:38,682
including four computers,
two cellphones
1705
01:51:38,817 --> 01:51:41,400
and a box of his business cards.
1706
01:51:43,155 --> 01:51:48,196
For the Gizmodo movie, this raised
questions of plot and motivation.
1707
01:51:48,327 --> 01:51:53,243
Why break down Chen's door
after he returned the iPhone?
1708
01:51:53,373 --> 01:51:57,413
CHEN: They showed me the warrant
to search the premises and said,
1709
01:51:57,544 --> 01:51:59,331
"We're part of the REACT team."
1710
01:51:59,463 --> 01:52:02,581
After they searched the house,
obviously I went and Googled it.
1711
01:52:02,716 --> 01:52:04,753
NARRATOR: The officers
who raided Chen's apartment
1712
01:52:04,885 --> 01:52:08,424
were part of a little-known criminal
task force called REACT,
1713
01:52:08,555 --> 01:52:11,764
composed of local, state
and federal officials
1714
01:52:11,892 --> 01:52:15,385
on the lookout for corporate espionage
in Silicon Valley.
1715
01:52:17,397 --> 01:52:20,310
My initial response was,
"This is cool. It's Apple."
1716
01:52:21,401 --> 01:52:23,188
NARRATOR: Chris Feasel
was the deputy DA
1717
01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:25,858
advising REACT on the case.
1718
01:52:26,031 --> 01:52:28,023
After the raid on Chen's apartment,
1719
01:52:28,158 --> 01:52:31,492
Feasel was received at Apple
by Jobs himself.
1720
01:52:31,620 --> 01:52:35,660
He was very, very nice,
very high-energy.
1721
01:52:36,625 --> 01:52:39,709
We had a back-and-forth about
what he wanted to see happen
1722
01:52:39,836 --> 01:52:42,328
versus what some of the realities were
about doing a prosecution.
1723
01:52:42,464 --> 01:52:46,583
He was very supportive about whatever
choices that we made on the case.
1724
01:52:46,718 --> 01:52:48,755
MAN: Where do people
come down on this?
1725
01:52:48,887 --> 01:52:51,800
- Where do you come down on it?
- Well, I can just tell you what...
1726
01:52:51,932 --> 01:52:58,270
There is an ongoing investigation
by the DA, and I'm not current on it.
1727
01:52:58,397 --> 01:53:01,936
He was very involved in it
and very interested in it
1728
01:53:02,067 --> 01:53:03,649
and wanted to be kept abreast
1729
01:53:03,777 --> 01:53:06,019
about what was going on
in the investigation.
1730
01:53:06,947 --> 01:53:10,440
NARRATOR: Jobs had every reason to
expect that he would be kept informed
1731
01:53:10,575 --> 01:53:13,613
because REACT wasn't
a purely government agency.
1732
01:53:13,745 --> 01:53:15,077
It had a steering committee
1733
01:53:15,247 --> 01:53:19,207
composed of many of the major
companies in the Valley.
1734
01:53:19,376 --> 01:53:22,790
In a town so completely dominated
by the tech industry,
1735
01:53:22,921 --> 01:53:25,288
had law enforcement become the muscle
1736
01:53:25,424 --> 01:53:27,837
for the largest corporations
in the world?
1737
01:53:31,263 --> 01:53:38,352
FEASEL: He was very, very adamant
and very passionate about his creation.
1738
01:53:38,478 --> 01:53:42,142
And the only analogy I can think of is
if somebody stole your baby,
1739
01:53:42,316 --> 01:53:44,182
you would be very upset about it.
1740
01:53:44,401 --> 01:53:48,862
That's how Mr Jobs felt.
Somebody had taken his baby.
1741
01:53:51,366 --> 01:53:53,323
NARRATOR: In spite of pressure
from Apple,
1742
01:53:53,452 --> 01:53:56,445
the DA decided
not to pursue the charges against Chen
1743
01:53:56,580 --> 01:53:59,243
because he hadn't received
stolen property.
1744
01:53:59,374 --> 01:54:01,582
He was a journalist doing a story.
1745
01:54:02,961 --> 01:54:06,796
When this whole thing
with Gizmodo happened,
1746
01:54:06,923 --> 01:54:11,714
I got a lot of advice
from people that said,
1747
01:54:11,845 --> 01:54:18,137
"You shouldn't go after a journalist
because they bought stolen property,
1748
01:54:18,268 --> 01:54:22,558
and they tried to extort you.
You should let it slide."
1749
01:54:22,689 --> 01:54:27,104
"Apple's a big company now.
You don't want the PR."
1750
01:54:27,235 --> 01:54:29,192
"You should let it slide."
1751
01:54:29,321 --> 01:54:34,487
And I thought deeply about this,
and I ended up concluding
1752
01:54:34,618 --> 01:54:37,702
that the worst thing
that could possibly happen
1753
01:54:37,829 --> 01:54:42,324
as we get big and we get
a little more influence in the world,
1754
01:54:42,459 --> 01:54:48,877
is if we change our core values
and start letting it slide.
1755
01:54:49,049 --> 01:54:53,214
I can't do that. I'd rather quit.
1756
01:54:54,304 --> 01:54:57,342
NARRATOR: What values
was Jobs talking about?
1757
01:54:57,474 --> 01:55:02,469
When Apple was taking on IBM,
it was David versus Goliath.
1758
01:55:02,646 --> 01:55:08,017
But when Apple became Goliath,
to whom was Jobs giving the finger?
1759
01:55:12,656 --> 01:55:17,492
DIAZ: The sad thing is that how many
months did he have left after that?
1760
01:55:17,619 --> 01:55:22,990
This was a guy who knew,
who knew at the time,
1761
01:55:23,166 --> 01:55:30,164
he was dying, and he dedicated,
what, ten minutes of his life
1762
01:55:30,298 --> 01:55:33,336
to talk about these guys
who found a phone in a bar
1763
01:55:33,468 --> 01:55:38,259
and then published a story about it?
Isn't that a little bit strange?
1764
01:55:39,766 --> 01:55:41,302
(APPLAUSE)
1765
01:55:41,435 --> 01:55:45,019
JOBS: My third story is about death.
1766
01:55:46,064 --> 01:55:50,058
About a year ago,
I was diagnosed with cancer.
1767
01:55:50,235 --> 01:55:52,227
I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning,
1768
01:55:52,362 --> 01:55:55,446
and it clearly showed
a tumor on my pancreas.
1769
01:55:55,574 --> 01:55:57,566
I didn't even know
what a pancreas was.
1770
01:55:57,701 --> 01:55:59,283
The doctors told me
1771
01:55:59,411 --> 01:56:03,405
this was almost certainly
a type of cancer that is incurable,
1772
01:56:03,540 --> 01:56:07,625
and that I should expect to live
no longer than three to six months.
1773
01:56:07,752 --> 01:56:12,338
My doctor advised me to go home
and get my affairs in order,
1774
01:56:12,507 --> 01:56:15,841
which is doctor's code
for "prepare to die."
1775
01:56:15,969 --> 01:56:17,756
It means to try and tell your kids
1776
01:56:17,888 --> 01:56:21,723
everything you thought you'd have
the next ten years to tell them
1777
01:56:21,850 --> 01:56:23,307
in just a few months.
1778
01:56:23,435 --> 01:56:28,601
I lived with that diagnosis all day.
Later that evening, I had a biopsy.
1779
01:56:28,732 --> 01:56:32,066
I was sedated, but my wife,
who was there,
1780
01:56:32,277 --> 01:56:35,441
told me that when they viewed the cells
under a microscope,
1781
01:56:35,572 --> 01:56:38,280
the doctors started crying
because it turned out to be
1782
01:56:38,408 --> 01:56:42,743
a very rare form of pancreatic cancer
that is curable with surgery.
1783
01:56:42,871 --> 01:56:46,490
I had the surgery
and, thankfully, I'm fine now.
1784
01:56:46,625 --> 01:56:48,366
(APPLAUSE)
1785
01:56:50,128 --> 01:56:52,836
ELKIND: Steve Jobs talked about
his cancer very emotionally
1786
01:56:52,964 --> 01:56:56,548
at the Stanford graduation ceremony
in 2005.
1787
01:56:56,676 --> 01:56:58,668
And he very clearly told the story
1788
01:56:58,803 --> 01:57:01,341
to make it sound as though
he had been diagnosed
1789
01:57:01,515 --> 01:57:04,303
and moved immediately to surgery,
and been cured.
1790
01:57:04,434 --> 01:57:05,720
That simply wasn't true.
1791
01:57:05,852 --> 01:57:09,436
What I found out, over a period
of months of reporting,
1792
01:57:09,564 --> 01:57:12,307
was that Steve Jobs actually
had been diagnosed with cancer
1793
01:57:12,442 --> 01:57:16,186
nine months earlier, and that
for a period of nine months,
1794
01:57:16,363 --> 01:57:19,822
he had refused to have the surgery
that every medical expert said
1795
01:57:19,950 --> 01:57:22,613
was necessary to increase
his prospects for survival.
1796
01:57:22,744 --> 01:57:24,736
Instead of having the surgery,
1797
01:57:24,871 --> 01:57:28,581
he had sought
alternative medicine approaches
1798
01:57:28,708 --> 01:57:30,791
to try to cure himself of cancer.
1799
01:57:31,962 --> 01:57:34,705
MALONE: Entrepreneurs have
an almost pathological need
1800
01:57:34,839 --> 01:57:36,751
to control their own fate.
1801
01:57:36,883 --> 01:57:38,169
They'll take any suffering
1802
01:57:38,301 --> 01:57:40,133
if they can just be in charge
of their destiny
1803
01:57:40,303 --> 01:57:42,295
and not have it
in somebody else's hands.
1804
01:57:42,430 --> 01:57:47,516
REPORTER: Apple's stock has been
volatile on rumors about Jobs's health.
1805
01:57:47,644 --> 01:57:49,852
The company's stock
was halted for a time,
1806
01:57:49,980 --> 01:57:53,690
then took a big hit when it re-opened
in after-hours trading.
1807
01:57:53,817 --> 01:57:55,774
WOMAN: Apple's share prices have dropped
1808
01:57:55,902 --> 01:57:58,815
with every pound
that Jobs has lost in recent months.
1809
01:58:00,198 --> 01:58:02,656
KANE: Apple really landed
into a dicey situation
1810
01:58:02,784 --> 01:58:04,616
when Steve decided
to issue a letter saying,
1811
01:58:04,744 --> 01:58:06,610
"Well, you know,
nothing's wrong with me."
1812
01:58:06,746 --> 01:58:09,238
"It's just a minor problem,"
And it wasn't a minor problem.
1813
01:58:10,667 --> 01:58:14,160
ELKIND: Steve Jobs made a point
of withholding from the world
1814
01:58:14,337 --> 01:58:16,795
that he faced this illness.
1815
01:58:16,923 --> 01:58:18,710
That's something
investors want to know,
1816
01:58:18,842 --> 01:58:20,549
because when you
bought Apple stock then,
1817
01:58:20,719 --> 01:58:22,631
you were buying into Steve Jobs.
1818
01:58:22,804 --> 01:58:26,218
He was obligated
to tell shareholders right away
1819
01:58:26,349 --> 01:58:27,840
about this serious illness.
1820
01:58:29,019 --> 01:58:31,727
KANE: You do personally
want to give Steve the privacy,
1821
01:58:31,855 --> 01:58:34,814
but Steve put the spotlight on him,
1822
01:58:34,941 --> 01:58:38,730
and you can't turn that off
just because it's inconvenient.
1823
01:58:41,615 --> 01:58:44,358
SERWER: After the story came out,
I saw Steve.
1824
01:58:44,492 --> 01:58:47,075
He started talking about Apple,
and he said,
1825
01:58:47,203 --> 01:58:51,447
"You know, Apple is really a company
that doesn't have any divisions."
1826
01:58:51,583 --> 01:58:53,700
"We don't have all this bureaucracy."
1827
01:58:53,835 --> 01:58:56,748
And I said, "Steve, that would be
a great story for Fortune."
1828
01:58:56,880 --> 01:59:02,501
And he looked at me, and he said,
"No."
1829
01:59:02,636 --> 01:59:08,382
"I don't think we can do that story
with you. Not now."
1830
01:59:09,976 --> 01:59:11,592
"Not now."
1831
01:59:11,811 --> 01:59:15,725
And then he said,
and the whole room went quiet,
1832
01:59:15,857 --> 01:59:19,817
and he said, "you know, we used to..."
1833
01:59:21,154 --> 01:59:24,693
"We used to really be friends
with Fortune,
1834
01:59:24,824 --> 01:59:31,788
I used to be friends with Fortune,
but not anymore. Not anymore."
1835
01:59:31,915 --> 01:59:35,454
And then I remember these tears
came out of his eyes,
1836
01:59:35,585 --> 01:59:37,042
and one was on his glasses,
1837
01:59:37,170 --> 01:59:41,665
and then one, I remember it rolling
off his cheek and hitting his shirt,
1838
01:59:41,800 --> 01:59:46,841
and he was just crying,
and the whole room was silent.
1839
01:59:48,890 --> 01:59:52,600
Apple CEO Steve Jobs today
made his first public appearance
1840
01:59:52,727 --> 01:59:54,593
since getting a new liver
five months ago.
1841
01:59:54,729 --> 01:59:55,845
REPORTER: For the first time,
1842
01:59:55,980 --> 01:59:58,893
the 54-year-old CEO
publicly acknowledged
1843
01:59:59,025 --> 02:00:02,484
the liver transplant this spring
that saved his life.
1844
02:00:02,612 --> 02:00:08,233
Well, I now have the liver
of a mid-20s person.
1845
02:00:11,871 --> 02:00:16,491
I'd like to take a moment and thank
everybody in the Apple community
1846
02:00:16,626 --> 02:00:20,836
for the heartfelt support I got, too.
It really meant a lot.
1847
02:00:20,964 --> 02:00:25,834
And I'd also like
to especially thank Tim Cook
1848
02:00:25,969 --> 02:00:29,679
and the entire executive team of Apple.
1849
02:00:29,806 --> 02:00:32,219
They really rose to the occasion
1850
02:00:32,350 --> 02:00:36,469
and ran the company very ably
in that difficult period.
1851
02:00:36,604 --> 02:00:38,937
So, thank you, guys.
Let's give them a round of applause.
1852
02:00:39,065 --> 02:00:40,272
(APPLAUSE)
1853
02:00:40,483 --> 02:00:42,065
BELLEVILLE: He loved what he did.
1854
02:00:42,193 --> 02:00:44,230
I do have an e-mail from him
saying that.
1855
02:00:44,362 --> 02:00:46,854
He said, you know,
"Both of us were fortunate," he said,
1856
02:00:46,990 --> 02:00:49,357
in that we loved what we did
1857
02:00:49,534 --> 02:00:52,277
and we were able to do it
for a long time.
1858
02:00:52,412 --> 02:00:54,825
And he said,
"What else could you ask for?"
1859
02:00:56,207 --> 02:01:00,918
We're maybe a little more experienced,
certainly more beat-up,
1860
02:01:01,045 --> 02:01:04,755
but the core values are the same.
1861
02:01:04,883 --> 02:01:09,503
I don't see why you have to change
if you get big.
1862
02:01:09,679 --> 02:01:11,887
JOBS: Straightforward to me.
1863
02:01:12,015 --> 02:01:14,348
NARRATOR: Apple was big.
1864
02:01:14,517 --> 02:01:18,807
By this time, one of the biggest
corporations in the world.
1865
02:01:21,274 --> 02:01:24,858
But each time we saw Jobs,
he seemed smaller.
1866
02:01:28,364 --> 02:01:32,278
As his devices got stronger,
Jobs got weaker.
1867
02:01:32,410 --> 02:01:35,903
It's so much more intimate
than a laptop,
1868
02:01:36,039 --> 02:01:39,282
and it's so much more capable
than a smartphone
1869
02:01:39,417 --> 02:01:41,249
with this gorgeous, large display.
1870
02:01:41,377 --> 02:01:45,166
MALONE: I think that a lot of the grief
at Jobs's death
1871
02:01:45,298 --> 02:01:50,464
was a fear that we had been
very comfortable
1872
02:01:50,637 --> 02:01:52,970
for the last decade in his hands.
1873
02:01:53,097 --> 02:01:57,762
It's phenomenal to hold the internet
in your hand.
1874
02:01:57,894 --> 02:02:00,181
MALONE: That he was going to keep
doing these amazing things.
1875
02:02:00,313 --> 02:02:04,273
Now he's gone, and there's no indication
that anyone's going to replace him.
1876
02:02:27,090 --> 02:02:29,002
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
1877
02:02:36,975 --> 02:02:38,716
Welcome.
1878
02:02:44,691 --> 02:02:46,057
Thank you.
1879
02:02:58,454 --> 02:03:00,161
Thank you very much.
1880
02:03:03,960 --> 02:03:05,542
- It always helps...
- MAN: We love you!
1881
02:03:05,712 --> 02:03:09,296
- (LAUGHTER)
- Thank you.
1882
02:03:09,507 --> 02:03:12,796
It always helps,
and I appreciate it very much.
1883
02:03:12,927 --> 02:03:16,841
NARRATOR: He resigned officially
in August. Two weeks earlier,
1884
02:03:16,973 --> 02:03:20,466
Apple had become the highest-valued
corporation on Earth.
1885
02:03:20,643 --> 02:03:22,259
And thank you for coming so much.
1886
02:03:22,395 --> 02:03:24,978
JOBS: We've got a great week
planned for you.
1887
02:03:49,923 --> 02:03:52,916
JOBS: This is a field
where one does not write a principia
1888
02:03:53,051 --> 02:03:55,634
which holds up for 200 years
1889
02:03:55,762 --> 02:03:58,095
or paints a painting that'll be
looked at for centuries,
1890
02:03:58,222 --> 02:04:01,932
or builds a church
that will be admired
1891
02:04:02,060 --> 02:04:03,972
and looked at in astonishment
for centuries.
1892
02:04:04,103 --> 02:04:06,436
No, this is a field
where one does one's work,
1893
02:04:06,564 --> 02:04:08,476
and in ten years, it's obsolete
1894
02:04:08,608 --> 02:04:11,225
and really will not be useable
within ten or 20 years.
1895
02:04:11,361 --> 02:04:13,273
I mean, you can't go back
and use an Apple I,
1896
02:04:13,404 --> 02:04:14,565
cos there's no software for it.
1897
02:04:14,739 --> 02:04:17,197
In another ten years or so,
you won't be able to use an Apple II.
1898
02:04:17,325 --> 02:04:19,783
You won't even be able to fire it up
and see what it was like.
1899
02:04:21,537 --> 02:04:24,996
JOBS: It's sort of like
sediment of rocks.
1900
02:04:25,124 --> 02:04:26,831
You're building up a mountain,
1901
02:04:26,960 --> 02:04:30,124
and you get to contribute
your little layer of sedimentary rock
1902
02:04:30,254 --> 02:04:32,246
to make the mountain that much higher.
1903
02:04:32,382 --> 02:04:35,966
But no one on the surface will,
unless they have x-ray vision,
1904
02:04:36,135 --> 02:04:37,842
will see your sediment.
1905
02:04:41,265 --> 02:04:44,679
NARRATOR: In Japan, there's
an idea called "mono no aware,"
1906
02:04:44,811 --> 02:04:48,145
meaning "the deep awareness of things".
1907
02:04:48,272 --> 02:04:51,231
It celebrates the melancholy
of the passing of life
1908
02:04:51,359 --> 02:04:55,148
and sees more beauty in the fallen leaf
than the one on the branch.
1909
02:04:56,406 --> 02:04:59,319
Maybe that's what Japan held for Jobs.
1910
02:04:59,450 --> 02:05:04,320
The sadness of the soul
as expressed in the beauty of things.
1911
02:05:09,252 --> 02:05:11,869
In the end, I was left
with the same question
1912
02:05:12,005 --> 02:05:13,541
with which I began this journey.
1913
02:05:13,673 --> 02:05:18,213
"Why did so many strangers weep
for Steve Jobs?"
1914
02:05:18,344 --> 02:05:21,633
It's too simple to say it was
because he gave us products we love
1915
02:05:21,806 --> 02:05:25,675
without asking why we love them
the way we do.
1916
02:05:25,852 --> 02:05:28,060
It's too simple even to conclude
that we love them
1917
02:05:28,229 --> 02:05:30,346
because they connect us
to a wider world
1918
02:05:30,481 --> 02:05:33,599
and the people in our lives
that are far away,
1919
02:05:33,776 --> 02:05:37,110
because these machines isolate us, too.
1920
02:05:39,699 --> 02:05:43,568
Perhaps the contradictory nature
of our experience with these gadgets
1921
02:05:43,703 --> 02:05:46,286
mirrors the contradictions
in Jobs himself.
1922
02:05:48,666 --> 02:05:52,706
He was an artist who sought perfection,
but could never find peace.
1923
02:05:54,964 --> 02:05:58,833
He had the focus of a monk,
but none of the empathy.
1924
02:06:01,095 --> 02:06:04,805
He offered us freedom,
but only within a closed garden,
1925
02:06:04,932 --> 02:06:07,049
to which he held the key.
1926
02:06:11,314 --> 02:06:13,306
To reconcile these contradictions,
1927
02:06:13,441 --> 02:06:17,185
I think we have to look to the other
half of our relationship with Jobs.
1928
02:06:17,320 --> 02:06:18,982
To ourselves.
1929
02:06:22,241 --> 02:06:26,451
As Jobs wanted it,
the screen of my iPhone is dark.
1930
02:06:26,621 --> 02:06:29,204
A Zen landscape of the unseen.
1931
02:06:29,332 --> 02:06:34,293
If I stare into it, I see
an obscure reflection of myself,
1932
02:06:34,420 --> 02:06:37,037
but this impression
lasts just a fleeting moment
1933
02:06:37,173 --> 02:06:40,757
before I press the home key
and the screen lights up.
1934
02:06:40,927 --> 02:06:44,762
But perhaps I should spend a moment
regarding that reflection,
1935
02:06:44,931 --> 02:06:50,928
asking myself what, in buying
and using this product, I am doing?
1936
02:06:51,062 --> 02:06:53,554
What is the full nature
of my transaction
1937
02:06:53,731 --> 02:06:58,146
with the maker of this magical
and intimate machine?
1938
