- lo0ol, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4So, since I was original poster four days ago (http://digg.com/apple/Video:_Apple_Keynote_Bloopers) and spawned a whole bunch of dupes, I take it I should abort on the whole concept of "English" and just add random exclamation!!! points in my title!!! and descr!!iption in order for it to be dugg by the enlightened intelligentsia here? I suppose it makes sense.
- meekar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3the poster put this video in the completely wrong light -- this is not a message of defeat, rather a humorous collage
- blurplevtx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3All of these seem to be 3rd party applications or hardware (the one in OS 9 is Internet Explorer, which has always sucked on a Mac). Funny stuff, but this isn't even in the same league as having Windows BSoD come up for Bill Gates.
blurp - durandal2005, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Is the part where he's struggling with the camera the infamous "throwing the camera" fiasco? Because I'd never seen it, and the way people talk about it I thought it was a lot going to be a lot more vicious than it actually looked. It looked like more of a "I don't want to walk over there, let me toss it to you" sorta throw, not the "You suck, I'm going to assassinate you with a camera" throw it gets made out to be.
- Amplix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2inkswamp: "Fercrissake, I think a majority of Mac users can and will laugh at this, including me, but what gets annoying are patronizing comments like yours assuming that some overly vocal fanatical minority speaks for the rest of us. How about we all laugh at this and you don't be an ass about it. Sound good?"
Totally agree.
I dugg someone else's submition with this same vid so I wont digg this one. - drakino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The "thats why we have backup systems here" was a direct poke at the CES disaster that was 05 for Microsoft just days earlier. That was the one with Conan doing a fake talk show, and them trying to do a photo slideshow probably 4 times before it worked right. Ironic that the bug Jobs hit in the beta Tiger version there started a photo slideshow when he didn't want one.
As others have said though, problems happen during presentations. I think beyond his camera throwing fit, Jobs has done well not to let it impact the show too much. Similar to Gates saying "that must be why we aren't shipping Windows 98 yet" when it blue screened, in a joking manner to then move on. - kejistan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2A lot of those were really minor. Still, it was interesting (and funny) to see how different people dealt with problems while on stage.
- inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2> Thank god some (maybe very few) mac users know
> how to laugh on their own expense like the windows crowd.
Fercrissake, I think a majority of Mac users can and will laugh at this, including me, but what gets annoying are patronizing comments like yours assuming that some overly vocal fanatical minority speaks for the rest of us. How about we all laugh at this and you don't be an ass about it. Sound good? - tfaz1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Fantastic video. An instant classic.
Funny thing is, none of these bugs made it to the public versions of these apps/products. All were squashed in the Beta phase. More than you can say about the numerous blue screens Bill had to contend with while presenting. - t3hX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1>all the fanoboys are either calling the probles minor, bashing other people's speling, or just give lame excuses for obvious bugs.
Your perfect spelling perhaps?
Heh, can't even SPELL fanboy.
Seriously, this is NOTHING compared to what Microsoft has had. I think that the point of the video is to show the worst of what went wrong for Apple, and make Microsoft look stupid by comparison. Obviously you can't see that. - Prod_Deity, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I seen this a few days ago. It was pretty funny about Q3A locking up.
Like Hanthus stated, I am a mac user, and I still got a chuckle out of it.
***** ups of any kind are funny. - Chasin_Fat_Kids, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Putting Steve Jobs 'into' shame" - what does that mean?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2And wtf was that sony guy thinking? he couldn't speak and then talks about bugs! damn! he was not a good guest choice!
- meekar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yeah, that slideshow feature has never crashed for me
- CLIFFosakaJAPAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1About the "Sony Guy"...if you watched the whole keynote, you would have seen that he started his presentation off well, but towards the end he started mumbling...the fact is, he got a signal to shorten his presentation because the keynote was running over time, and he was at a loss as to how to smoothly end his presentation.
The difference between Steve's "bloopers" is that he at least says something funny when it happens, but Bill often has a blank look on his face and/or he'll have one of his "Lieutenants" speak for him. Another point is that Steve doesn't "make believe" he know every single technical issue and becomes one of "us" when he says things like "whatever that means"; giving us a laugh at the expense of his lack of knowledge; I don't know how many times I've seen blank stares from the audience during Bill's droning on and on in his monotone voice about every little technical doo-dad and acronym. - MikhoohkiM, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1great video, but i dugg it already atleast once
- rspeed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's worth mentioning that only one of these bloopers was OS X having problems. Specifically, it was when he searched for "love" and accidentally opened a slideshow (which obviously wasn't part of the demo since he said "oops"). Not exactly the same as the OS crashing while demonstrating plugging in a USB scanner.
Reported for dupe. I'd report for inaccurate as well if I could. - t3hX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Also, since when was about five bloopers cut into small pieces and shuffled up "tons"?
- BSpolice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0All the parts where he said, "And here's this great new technology called ....I don't know what it does, but it works great" reminded me why I never bother to listen to these sorts of CEO speeches, from _any_ CEO.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0saw this a week ago. nothing in there was actually serious. things wont work perfectly as planned all the time.
you should see the messups from the old windows videos.. those are hilarious. the blue screen pops up with an error and the entire audience stands up with a standing ovatioan haha - LatvianHedgehog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Goon one. At least Jobs makes these bugs into jokes.
- lo0ol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0jkfan87- I'll make changes accordingly for the future then. I just didn't want to sensationalize things like this pathetic title is doing. :rolleyes:
- underburn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://digg.com/apple/Apple_Keynote_Bloopers:_When_Stevenotes_go_wrong
No Digg, as this is a week late. - jholdaway, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Actually apple fanboys (yes me too) are regular good humored people, many of us may be the tech fixing your PC! *gasp. But just because most broken computers are macs doesnt mean that we can't laugh too when a keynote goes awry!
We zealots didn't take it off, old news missleading discription is the hand that pushed it off the front page.
(and apple fandom doesn't ban you from being a microsoft fan, however you do have to bow to nintendo.. its in the charter of our zealot handbook) - theprez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The video is supposed to be funny as the way that it was editted. Obviously the poster didn't see this as the Sony CEO has nothing to do with an OS problem, but of course it was annoying to see and hear him stutter so much on stage in that presentation. The video's supposed to be funny to watch, not prove anything.
And, people, please get over it. Some prefer Windows, some prefer OS X, what's so hard to understand?
No digg because the poster's comments are misleading and inaccurate. Besides, it's a duplicate story. - Sonic84, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol, it's funny, nice to see that Steve is human after all. Dugg
- TmasterT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0......the browser that isnt displaying the pages is IE...
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why does everyone have to jump on their Mac/Linux/Windows bandwagon when something like this comes up? OSX isn't perfect because nothing is perfect. The video is funny, and it shows that the human element in everything can mess things up. Steve Jobs isn't God..................I repeat, Steve Jobs is not God
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This would have been a lot better if they had the theme song to Benny Hill playing in the background, it would have made it exactly 45.99754% funnier
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"This somehow got lamed off the front page? Looking through the comments I don't see any large number of people having a problem with it... What happened?"
Apple have fans, and apple have zealots. - Kryptonitfusion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Quality is is quite nice...dugg because its halarious
- MyBotPiko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That was hilarious, I've only seen the "we have backups" keynote before when spotlight froze and I was impressed then that they thought about having backup systems... now after watching this I know why ;)
- StatusQuoRules, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Don't forget that "OS X locking ( and jobs have to switch to a backup mac)" was a beta of 10.4 and not a final release.. At least they have backup and don't just skip demoing the feature!
- gotamd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This somehow got lamed off the front page? Looking through the comments I don't see any large number of people having a problem with it... What happened?
- TheShrike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Considering that most of those aren't actually Mac bloopers, but the failings of 3 party software and hardware, that most of the rest are just clever edits of sessions where nothing went wrong, I'd have to say no digg. Lame, even.
- e3mw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hasn't this already been on front page recently?
- McZiggz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Who let "that sony guy on stage?" That was Kunitake Ando, Sony's President. Not just "some guy".
Also, fyi- the comment Steve made about "thats why we have backups" was a shot @ Bill Gates. Gates was just on daytime television the week prior showing off his OS (i think it was XP media center) when it froze & they didn't have a backup... so he just looked helpless.
Funny blunders though. Good digg. - iBookG4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's funny...I dugg it and I obviously use a Mac. Say what you will about Steve Jobs, but you can't deny he's a pretty amazing person.
- t3hX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0>Weird. I've never ever had a single lockup or anything of the sort on my powerbook. Maybe they were using development/prototype equipment?
Probably yeah.
>I would like to see a compilation of Windows/PC crashes. :)
Already done. Look for MS History 2005 and MS History 2006 on live.watchmactv.com - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"barely any of this has to do with actual OS/Hardware issues.
Meanwhile, the infamous Win98 crash video is an OS crash. That was funny."
Didn't you see when jobs changes to a backup computer? thats the os crashing! the difference is that the blue screen is terribly ugly but informative.
OSs have more similarities than we think! - t3hX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nothing compared to what M$ had.
Pretty funny. But at least Apple can cope with it well.
And if you were actually watching, nearly all of them were not Mac OS, or Apple stuff going wrong. - DarthPilatus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0At least Steve doesn't run and (shadow box) like a 3 yr old girl on stage.
Funny video.
p.s. You know the only thing that has every crashed my G4 was MS Word and PowerPoint. - Achilles1942, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hilarious
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dugg, but its just a funny montage, not steve ***** up. In branch prediction - must predict branches! hehe What does steve care what it does, for that matter what does any end user care what it does, just so long as it works. That for me is fundamental to being a mac user.
- ronaldpoi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Funny video!... even being a "fanboy", this is fun for me! =)
Also, i remember the new iMac with 250Mb hard disk... hehe, that was a good one... - jholdaway, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0jobs is so funny. Lets hope he can do with disney what he did with apple. Maybe even see a profit someday?
- cbrack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this video is from so long ago, i'm surprised people haven't seen this till now.
- ultraelite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0if i could only double digg
- tsunamisteve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0a lot of those cuts were simply stutters or things he corrected moments later, but the corrections were left out. steve has a way of making the mistakes humorous and the show goes on. i mean, we ARE dealing with humans here, right? well not the computers.
- xioner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I don't know what it does... but its a good thing"
