So so funny
I don’t know what’s happening exactly but i have to say that Steve Jobs is doing his work correctly …
Hey Youssef,
Indeed, Steve Jobs is an amazing speaker to say the least.
2 things struck me about this parody broadcast on MadTV though:
1) the fact that for the first time maybe, people think of Apple as ‘evil’. It’s aimed at being funny of course, but if Microsoft has long been criticized for being an Empire (a stance I find truly stupid: MSFT is a challenger on many markets eg. Internet (Google), database (Oracle), video game (Sony), etc.), if some people perceive Google as a Big Brother (stupid stance too: it’s Google’s business to analyze who you are to target its ads best) it actually never occurred with Apple who has always been sort of protected (thanks to its relatively small size). This era is probably over and Apple will at last become a normal company getting lots of criticism.
2) I find the laughter hilarious. People laugh and applause for basically no reason. There’s been lots of imitators of Steve Jobs (and this one’s definitely no the best, I find him crappy), but this is maybe the first time the emphasis is put on the ill-started laughters and claps. This being said, Steve Jobs has it all, and I admire him a lot: great speaker, great vision, tremendous leadership skills, fantastic strategic mindset, and most of all, he’s not a CEO in an ivory tower but he knows his products perfectly.
Hey Jeremy,
Sure, Steve Jobs is one of the minority of CEO’s who are coming to grips with a good communication skills and tremendous presentation of their products. More over, i don’t like just his manner of comparing practically every time the performance of Mac products with those of MSFT or so on…
BUT, as you said Jeremy, SJ is a perfectionist, and he demands excellence from himself and others who might also be speaking with him.
