Ok so I know all of you Mac fanboy's are going to digg me down but here goes...
DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS. -
Heh, loved Gates' statement.
-
Bill Gates @ 6:25
-
"We have a dream. To design a computer that actually works."
EPIC WIN. -
I liked that they were defending actually having different fonts. Oh how far we've come :)
-
I was surprised they had 32bit microprocessors. and a 32BIT Screnn woah.....
-
Nice computer work. I really enjoyed this video.
-
"And because we're Apple, we'll be sure to toss in a few great games". Apple...gaming...apple...gaming... something does not compute.
-
Who wants to play Crysis!
-
What sane person could deny that these people were visionaries?
-
"And make it cheap so that everyone can afford it!" I lol'd.
-
awesome video! i really like those old little macs... ;)
-
"The Dream Machine"/"The Machine That Changed the World" was a BBC documentary had great info like this, from xerox parc to the Mac.
-
My god.
This video isn't just about Apple, that's a whole generation of hackers that actually built the new electronic frontier. -
Look how passionate they were about it back then...
-
What a boring video...
-
Holy *****, I did not expect 6:25!
-
Oh god, 7 and a half minutes of Windham Hill piano noodling.
-
"... other environments won't be interesting."
Hit the nail on the head, Bill Gates! -
That was kinda painful to watch wasn't it..
-
awesome! its cool to see people explaining how things work (like a mouse and cursor) when we've totally taken those things for granted now. It's like watching a video about the invention of silverware.
-
Man, I remember a lot of late nights in college typing papers on my Mac Classic. What a great little machine that was.
-
We were Rebels and running on the Way to Mainstream now ... unfortunately.
-
my games dont work. havent u guys thought about us gamers mac devs ?
-
They don't make start up chimes like they used to.
-
What an incredible time to be a part of something like that. Not just apple, but the whole scene in the early 80s making the computer a tool for people. Any modern computer does these things like GUIs, word processing, data storage and retrieval... but to think about making those simple things happen on (buy contemporary standards) such modest hardware! It must have been like solving this really great puzzle.
Now there are so many f***ing patent trolls I have to be afraid to try and come up with something that might be useful to the planet. -
This video has more diggs than views.
Weird -
Awesome mustache.
-
"And because we're Apple, we'll toss in some great GAMES...."
-
Apple, "the company of white guys designing computers for other white guys"
Obviously -
I always thought IBM was the first chipset in a mac, was surprised to hear it was Motorola
-
Did I hear the phrase, "Make it affordable" from a Mac developer?
-
In the software business volume is everything.
Microsoft is choosing this Apple Macintosh environment, because over time the other environments won't be interesting.
...Bill Gates -
Proof a good hair cut can make dreams come true.
-
Great background music.
-
I'm not really down with Macs anymore, but early Macs really rocked. I still have a Classic, and it still works perfectly. Maybe Mac fans will disagree, but I feel that Apple has been riding on the brilliance of those early machines ever since. I hope we can at least agree that Apple deserves the ride.
-
Apple developers were still idiots. One of the stupidest decisions was to go with a black and white display. Why? Because the dumb asses couldn't come up with hardware fast enough to render a high res screen in color. Just a year later the Amiga proved that high res COLOR graphics were fast and easy, if you included the right custom hardware.
Therein lies the problem, the Mac, though it needed NONE of the hardware used in PC machines at the time, never really did anything that different. They had little in the way of real custom hardware that give it a clear advantage of PCs in terms of graphics, sound, or disk throughput. The developers simply lacked the talent or foresight to come up with their own original hardware designs that could really push the envelope.
Gotta love the quote from Steve Jobs, "It was several years ahead of it's time. The best possible thing that could be done." WRONG. -
Watching that I felt like at any second I was going to get rickroled.
-
Give me an old Apple II over a modern PC running Vista any day. :)
-
That was really really booooring!!!!
-
-
Gives me "Pirates of Silicon Valley" flashbacks. That movie is awesome.
