Dos_Box Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 On the Discovery Channel iGenius:How Steve Jobs changed to world. It may make interesting viewing, or it may make you want to throw things at the tv. Anyway, just a heads up for those of you who are interested. For our US members you saw this last night, so please, no spoilers. I don't want to know how it ends.
CyberNerd Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I don't want to know how it ends. he dies. sorry
Little-Miss Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Adam and Jamie from Mythbusters host it!!
garethEds Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Just to say that at 23:00 there is a programme on the same channel called iPod Revolution. Can someone record both onto DVD? Could be handy for lessons. Gareth
Arthur Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Adam and Jamie from Mythbusters host it!! Jamie Hyneman sounds really bored and it's obvious he is reading from an autocue. Dr Michio Kaku should have presented it instead IMO. At least he shows some enthusiasm.
russdev Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Must admit Jamie did sound very wooden but in end a very good documentary consider short time frame it was made in. Russell
mattx Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 I'm downloading this now and will be in the throw stuff at the TV camp - but I will watch it. Only to vent my anger and laugh at the no doubt stupid and out outrageous quotes that will broadcast.

mattx Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 I've just started watching this now and 5 mins in I've have started shouting at the telly. This has been really rushed to be made and it clearly shows. Factually incorrect, loads of library film snippets and still pics with the wishy washy cuts. All in all terrible with people making commetns who are idiots [ apart from wozniak ]
Arthur Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 All in all terrible with people making comments who are idiots [apart from Wozniak] I completely agree. It reminded me of those "100 Greatest" programmes on Channel 4 or Five where you have Z-list celebs interrupting every few seconds. So annoying (like most American TV programmes)!!! I like Steve Wozniak though. He's a really nice person and actually interesting.
GrumbleDook Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Slightly OT but ... iWoz ... best biography I've read this year. Waiting for Steve's to arrive but still think I'll prefer iWoz.
Arthur Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Is this the one that was on CBS? 60 Minutes? The programme can be watched online if you click the link. I've only watched a few minutes, but it's vastly better than iGenius. Edited October 24, 2011 by Arthur
Dos_Box Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 Yeah, I was slightly underwhelmed by iGenius. It missed out huge gaps in his career (his return to Apple for instance was barly mentioned) and jumped from Pixar (Toy Story) to the launch of the iPod almost ignoring the interveining decade. As for the iPod documentary that followed, the less said the better.
Arthur Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Yet another documentary on the way. Hopefully it's better than the last two. PBS airing Steve Jobs documentary on Nov 2, with new interview A never-before-broadcast interview with Steve Jobs will be included in a new documentary being aired by PBS November 2 called One Last Thing Steve Jobs may be dead at the age of 56, but as with most world-movers there’s always more to learn about him. PBS announced it will be airing an hour-long documentary next month on Apple’s creative co-founder. The documentary is titled Steve Jobs—One Last Thing, and will explore the major influences that made Jobs who he was. A never-before-broadcast interview from 1994 is also promised. One Last Thing, airing Wednesday November 2, and beginning at 10 p.m. ET, will be taking an “unflinching look at Job’s difficult, controlling, and offers unique insights into what made him tick,” says PBS. To do so, the documentary will employ many interviews with figures you all may be familiar with from Walter Isaacson’s instant best-selling biography on the Apple Computer innovator The interview list includes Bill Fernandez, who connected Jobs with Wozniak as well as Robert Palladino who’s calligraphy classes at Reed College inspired Jobs with the design for the Mac. Others interviewed for the program Apples’ other co-founder [Steve Wozniak], Ronald Wayne, Ross Perot, columnist Walt Mossberg, mouse designer Dean Hovey and even Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am. Along with these peripheral interviews, PBS promises a new interview with the man himself where Jobs talks about his driving life lesson. "You tend to get told that the world is the way it is, but life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact; and that is that everything around that you call life was made up by people no smarter than you", Jobs says in the 1994 interview. "Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again." (Source) One Last Thing is a production of Pioneer Productions for Channel 4 (UK) and PBS. The film is funded by PBS, Channel 4 and Mentorn International. (Source)
russdev Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 It should be better as PBS stuff tends to be quite good... Russell
Arthur Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 ComputerWorld have posted an 83 minute interview with Steve Jobs from 1995. No annoying presenters, just Steve himself doing the talking. Starting at around the 12 minute mark, he talks about schools and education too. http://i.imgur.com/COG19.png [b]Direct Download Link[/b] (approx. 2GB) http://idg-f.akamaihd.net/hd/1351824782/1351824782_1244727922001_SteveJobs-CWHonors-everything.flv
