Steve Jobs - It's not binary.

Steve kind of like the last shark [ __ ] you I wanted to ask you a favor my friend a long time ago you asked me a favor before a product launch and I said no you wanted me to I think if you're about to say you were wrong I want to prepare this journalist I was 100% right you were spectacularly wrong but I still owe your favor so name it Steve but it can't be about acknowledging the Apple to acknowledge the Apple to team how about in private no is this a prank knows I'm trying to remember that a 300 megahertz g3 chip just the top guys Steve excuse me okay yeah one second she said she'd rather not what do you mean she's sitting with her friends she said she'd rather not come back okay don't take her side I don't want embarrass in front of her friends but tell her I just scares the [ __ ] out of Andy and this time nobody's paying her [ __ ] all right don't say that but do your thing where you sound old and wise because of the broad tragic European canvass of your life you know I wasn't born in a 19th century shtetl right please tell her it's important everything all right yeah there are people around here and including a member of the impress wise just the top guys the ones who are getting laid off listen okay last year Apple lost 1 billion dollars I don't even know how that's possible you were less than 90 days from being insolvent I had three different accountants try to explain it to me the whole place has to be streamlined start with through the accountants I started with the all come off stage we're gonna go right there I started with the Apple 2 team because we don't you know make that anymore just acknowledge the top guys have a mimosa and relax you will not blow me off right now Steve the top guy there are the top guys all right on the Apple 2 team there are no top guys there B players and B players discourage da players and I want 8 players at Apple and not they're not B players and I'm a better dresser than 90 days from insolvency in part because somebody thought the Newton wasn't a box of garbage yo could you come off leave him I'm talking to guys designed and shipped a little box of garbage while I was coming talking about the Apple 2 which is not just a crucial part of this company's history it is a crucial part of the history a personal computer for a time at least you could do if you're going to downsize these people you're gonna live in the biggest houses of anyone on the unemployment will acknowledge them acknowledge them and the Apple 2 during this is a new animal this whole place was built by the Apple 2 you were built by the Apple 2 a matter of fact I was destroyed by the Apple 2 in its open system so that hackers and hobbyists could build ham radios or something and then it nearly destroyed Apple when you spent all your money on it and developed a grand total of no new products the Newton the little box of garbage you guys came up with the Newton you like want people to know that this is a product launch not a luncheon the last thing I want to do is connect the iMac to the only successful product that this company has ever made I'm sorry to be blunt but that happens to be the truth the Lisa was a failure the Macintosh was a failure I don't like talking like this but I am tired of being Ringo when I know I was John everybody loves Ringo and I'm tired of being patronized by you you think John became John by winning a raffle woz you think he tricked somebody or hit George Harrison over the head he was John because he was John he was John cuz he wrote Ticket to Ride and I wrote the Apple - you made a beautiful board which by the way willing to give out for free so don't tell me how you built Apple if it weren't for me you'd be the easiest day at Homestead High these people live and die by your praise so here's your chance acknowledge that suddenly good happened that you weren't in the room for no Steve do it it's right it's it's right sorry but no let me put it another way I don't think there's a man who's done more to advance the democratization that comes with personal computing that I have but you've never had any respect for me now I is that I'd at least consider the possibility that's because you've never had any for me what the hell is going on here nothing thank you for your time it's done she's coming back you came at half inch from putting this company out of business now who do I see about that I'm letting you keep your job you get a pass you know what people used to ask me what the difference was between me and Steve Jobs I would say Steve was the big-picture guy and I like the solid work bench when people ask me what the difference is now I say Steve's an [ __ ] your products are better than you are brother that's the idea brother and knowing that that's the difference it's not binary you can be decent and gifted at the same time he didn't mean it yeah he did he's a temperamental guy no he's not
