Full Steve Jobs Interview Posted—Wow!

The All Things Digital Web site has posted the full interview with Steve Jobs from their recent D8 conference. It’s a pretty amazing performance from someone who was once near death, both physically and career-wise, but who has returned to full strength. Jobs is so un-technical during the interview that it’s hard to realize that he heads Apple Inc., a major tech company. He talks personally, jokes and generally provides some great insights into how the company operates. His perspective on Google is that the Flash decision is not personal, but rather in line with how Apple usually selects technology. He talks about the controversy over app analytics by saying he was “pissed,” and still is. To really see how amazing Jobs’ remarks are, take a (short) look at Steve Ballmer videos at the same conference. Ballmer is entirely technical, talking about revenue, competition, blah, blah. No insights into people or how they work. Here’s the Steve Jobs video.
