His enthusiasm is contagious. He seems to see the good and the potential in others. Yet he always has his purpose, a big goal to achieve.
At the time of this interview, he could not have known he would quickly take over Apple and turn it into America's most successful company. I would have loved working with him, I think.

I read the reviews and yeah have seen all of this before but hearing in this format and the way discussed so openly this video is one of the best Jobs videos I have in my collection!

This interview gave an opportunity to really understand how Steve Jobs thought. It is far better and more interesting than listening to someone else providing their interpretation of how Steve Jobs thought. The body language helps tell the story.

As a linux enthusiast I've always been a bit contemptuous of apple products - oversimplified, restrictive, too proprietary. And while much of this is true and while apple has changed dramatically over the years, watching this interview, I have a much greater respect for the vision and character of a man who has unquestionably altered the course of personal computing.
Jobs elegantly describes his passion and drive to create digital environments that are both aesthetically unique as well as functional. Very curious to learn more about how things evolved at Next and more of the history of how apple initially grew - Jobs and Wozniak in a basement hacking on hardware and ideas that would revolutionize an industry that was just beginning to be introduced to the general public.
This is absolutely worth watching (and I imagine one of the best interviews of Jobs in existence).
Enjoy

The film is about 90 minutes long. The first 30 good, but the last 60 are great. It is during that last portion that I believe you get an understanding of the charasmatic Steve Jobs.

This was by far one of the best interviews of Steve Jobs I've seen. He's less guarded having not yet returned to Apple and very candid about his business philosophy. And if you're a prime member you can't beat the price!

This was an extraordinary interview, and to put my opinion in perspective, I have never nor will ever own an Apple product in my life. That's just how personal and revealing this interview was. Genius.
The most fascinating aspect of the interview was seeing the seeds in the mid 90's that would eventually germinate into modern day Apple. For example:
1) Steve's focus on product over process ensured that quality and user experience was never compromised.
2) The sadness he felt when he said Apple was being destroyed led to the cash hoard the buoyed the stock during the great recession
3) Steve's love of the liberal arts and admission that Microsoft has 'no taste' led to artful devices
4) It only seems natural that after his hacking into phones as a child, his mission to alter humanity was executed through a phone
5) His belief that for every hardware hobbyist, there were 1000 hobbyists that would prefer the Apple 1 hardware pre assembled led to the development of the ecosystem and Apple telling consumers what they need rather than the converse
6) His divestiture of control that ultimately led to his firing from Apple was recouped in a 'Top-Down' leadership style for his next tenure there
7) NeXt and Steve's exposure to the internet and software led him to make comments in the tail end of the interview that proved to be very true regarding e-commerce, free thought, and the experience of communicating...5 years before the dot com boom
8) Steve's mastery of factories, tooling, and understanding the process from idea to product led to a vertically integrated Apple
9) His witness of the failure of Xerox to capture the entire computing market when they had a chance led to Steve's focus on hiring and promoting highly skilled employees rather than generalists
10) Steve's own admissions of mistakes he made, while candid, were ultimately too painful for him to share. Some mistakes were even irreversible; this is a man whose passions and brilliance ultimately allowed the world to experience life as it never has before, at the cost of his own.
I highly recommend every employee, CEO, investor, consumer, passionate soul out there watch this modest yet powerful interview. 5 stars. RIP Steve Jobs

This is an hour-long interview of Steve Jobs in his younger years, long before the iPhone. I wasn't sure what to expect at first, having read everything already. It turned out to be extremely captivating as you get an unedited glimpse of the man's raw intelligence.

This interview (as a movie) played in my area last year, in Atlanta, and I went with my wife and some friends. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and I knew that I wanted to own it on DVD. It's very thought provoking and Steve Jobs shines light on what he felt went wrong at Apple when he left, and what was going wrong at the time in 1995. Robert X. Cringely did a fine job as interviewer too. There were a number of good documentaries made on Steve Jobs after he died, but I would recommend this simple interview as the best to own. It's mostly all just the man answering questions and talking, and that is mighty stuff from this particular man.
I received the DVD fast too! Great service from Amazon.com as usual.
