The Macintosh's Twisted Truth 01/10/2004 07:17 AM
Apple's CEO Steve Jobs and the Macintosh are intertwined in most people's minds. But contrary to many popular histories of the machine, the Mac wasn't Jobs' idea at all. In fact, he wanted to kill it. By Owen Linzmayer.

Little leter 'i' is king of marketing among the alphabet. As in iPod, iTunes, iBook. "Because of consistent marketing, Apple literally own the letter 'i'. 'I' means Internet and interactive -- and it means Apple." By Marlon Manuel, Cox News Service (via MyAppleMenu)

Someone posted a copy of the Mac introduction video from 21 years ago. I made a mirror here. Jason Kottke has a list of more mirrors. Of course it's not early as much fun or as exciting as the 1984 commercial (torrent) (please don't like directly to the movie, rather link to this entry)....

Video of Jobs introducing the Macintosh
in 1984 02/01/2005 09:26 PM

The Apple Macintosh turns 21 years old today and as a birthday present, the long-lost video of its introduction by Steve Jobs has been posted to the web by TextLab on their weblog:

Fear not, faithful Mac believers. We have found it. We have found what seems to be the only copy of a public TV broadcast on that very day. It was recorded and preserved by Scott Knaster, the "legendary Mac hacker", as Amazon puts it. Scott kept the tape (a NTSC Betamax III longplay) for 21 years since he keeps everything. Andy Hertzfeld saw it when he wrote the story "The Times They Are A-Changin'" on folklore.org. From there we followed the hints, and that's how we found it.

We worked with Scott to convert it from NTSC to PAL, we've polished it, cleaned it, huged it and digitzed it. Here it is. It goes back to the people who've made the Macintosh, and to the world. The complete material of about 2 hours is returned to Scott, Andy and the folklore.org people, and this weblog will report the story of the "missing 1984 video" in detail. We'll release other clips in the coming days, so bookmark and check back.

That page is super slow right now, so I've compiled a few links to the video (QuickTime, 20.9 MB). Enjoy:
