Jobs ’97 Keynote is fascinating

Here are some timestamped highlights because it’s 1:11 long:

@ 3-8 min in – talking about having vision, focus, and “pissing people off”.

@ ~14 min – Server side computing (his own staggeringly spot-on predictive network setup when you remember this is 1997) Including gigabit(!) and thin clients

@ 20 min – Rapid Software development

@ 40 min – How to increase developer productivity

@ 45:50 – Marketing, PR, TV, and press

@ 52 min – a nice succinct way of viewing user-centric design.

It’s amazing how razor sharp of a vision Steve Jobs had in ’97. Tim Cook may not be an equivalent visionary, but I think maintaining the culture Steve ingrained into Apple will be his most important responsibility.
