Hi.
Recently I haven’t blogged as much as I should do. I am sorry for that. Also, recently I found out that there was a word-limit to the “triumph of the nerds”-post, so I realize I have to rewrite it. I will although keep the previous one so that no comments will get deleted. I will also write the 2 other blog posts this weekend, so stay updated! A little hint is that if you already commented my Triumph of the Nerds, you shouldn’t have to comment this one. It’s really the same, but a little shorter.
So, here it goes.
Noone at this time thought about the personal computer industry as a potential world-leading market. “I thought this was the most fun you could possibly have with your clothes on“, says some guy who worked for Microsoft in the documentary, which shows the importance of really enjoying what you do instead of just doing it for the money.
I think it’s funny how Steve Jobs critisize Microsoft for their lack of taste, but he also claims he has no problem with their success what so ever. It seems like he don’t care about the money, but the effect Microsoft has on people.
In the end of the documentary, the story-teller says “Apple, the company Jobs took from a garage to the fortune 500, is in trouble. It is now a fading force in the PC marketplace”…
I remember myself reading only yesterday at PingPong about 2 people who, out of everything in the world they had that they thought was bad, wrote Windows. And that they would, or had, changed to Mac. Somewhere, sometime.. Something happened. Steve Jobs came back to Apple 1997. Since then it has been a complete success. Ipod, Macbook, Pixar …
You’re right! I remember also that Jobs didn’t take it like a big problem.. maybe he thinks it’s okay because he liked to copy against somebody or he didn’t want to show what he really thought about it.
