This DVD won’t ship until October, but it is ready for preorder right now on Amazon.com and might make a good Christmas gift for someone.
Additional material on the DVD not available anywhere else include a commentary audio track and my 2005 NeRDTV video interview with original Mac system programmer Andy Hertzfeld in which he talks about his Apple experiences and recounts the hilarious story of what happened when Steve Jobs apologized to Bill Gates for telling me that Microsoft had no taste. This 65 minute interview with Andy has never before been available in full resolution and is well worth having in its own right.
But then what do I know?

Weeee! Christmas comes early this year (October!) 🙂
I was never much of a Jobs fan. If you ever release a Woz interview I will be very interested!
Thanks.
I agree with hamerfan. Another documentary, say an interview with a blue whale would be quite interesting indeed.
Hamerfan: Woz is in the tech news every other news. Steve Jobs has pased on.
Please get a clue?
Bob, make sure Amazon makes this one available in Europe, too (preordered in US anyway).
It is, at least it is available in Croatia…
Ich glaube, die Fakten in Ihrem Zuschreibung geschrieben ist wirklich super. Ich habe seit der Arbeit auf einer vorläufigen Analyse Mission zu diesem Thema und Ihr Weblog wirklich mit einer Vielzahl von Überlegungen, die ich hatte geholfen. Ich erstelle eine Hausarbeit für die Schule und ich? M folgen derzeit viele Blogs für die Bewertung.
“I think the facts are written in your write-up really great. I’ve been working on a preliminary mission analysis on this topic and your blog really helped with a number of considerations that I had. I create an assignment for school and I? M currently follow many blogs for the evaluation.”…Google Translate.
How quaint. This might be the last hard-copy electronic media item I ever buy.
No progress on the Apple Store front?
I’ll have to add it to my Xmas Gift List on Amazon. If Santa gets it for me, it will be one of the classier gifts I get this year.
I like the idea of including Woz too. I can understand why you picked Andy. I’d bet Woz would be willing to be in a new interview to discuss his parts of the DVD.
I wonder if we could organize an effort to send copies of the DVD to selected IBM executives?
Advance purchase, gift lists, etc are all examples of how good Amazon is. Instead of blaming Amazon for their problems, BestBuy should really take time and learn from them.
Imagine for a moment if BestBuy ran an advance purchase program for a great new product. They could negotiate a special price and make it really attractive to their customers.
Our cell phone contract ends in a few months. Our kids are already shopping for their next phones. If there was a really great phone coming out in a few months and if BestBuy could get a great price on it, I’d bet my kids would place an advanced order.
Imagine the value to BestBuy when 10,000’s of customers show up in their stores to pickup and/or activate those phones! Imagine the up-sale opportunities if they had chargers, cables, cases, accessories there and ready to sell.
Sadly this is why firms like Apple and Amazon are doing so well, and BestBuy isn’t.
Looks good– I’m guessing Jobs didn’t have approval over the cover photograph.
Ouija boards only do so much…
What, no click-thru to the item? Why make me type a search, I’m on an iPad!
Fear not…it WILL blend! And the Surface will be out soon.
Aee the blog page did…Apple mail went to Amazon.com
FYI – your amazon link is broken.
Sat 4 Aug – not showing in amazon.co.uk. Bob please ensure this is released in Europe too – I’ll be ordering one! And I know it will make an ideal Christmas present for one of my [Apple Fanboi] friends 🙂
Thanks

The fanbois can be pretty judgememental. They may love Apple products and simultaneous dislike Steve for something he did or failed to do in his personal life.
Is that the opposite of what a fanboy is? Sound like reasoned critical thought to me
No contradiction here. One can be a fan of a company’s products but not a fan of the person responsible. For example, “Hitler made the trains run on time.” Personally, I admire Steve as a CEO and in every other respect. I believe he provided for his family admirably. I just haven’t had a reason to buy an Apple product over a competitive product.
Just ordered it. Hopefully will play OK on my UK DVD player!
Thanks Bob!
Darn! I can’t download NerdTV episode w/ Andy Herzfeld – but, you do have the interview printed up, including the bit where he recalls Jobs apologizing to Gates about having no taste.

Hey there would you mind letting me know which webhost
you’re utilizing? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers
and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good hosting provider at a reasonable price?
Kudos, I appreciate it!
I believe the facts written within your write-up is really superb. I’ve been doing work on a preliminary analysis mission regarding this topic and your weblog really helped with numerous considerations that I had. I’m creating a term paper for school and I?m currently following many blogs for assessment.
I read this paragraph completely concerning the comparison of hottest and previous technologies, it’s remarkable article.
My heart. Steve at his most delicious — his hair still long, a bit of puppyfat still, his not-quite Caucasian features unreadable as to background. Yes, I’ll buy it, and thrill to the days when Susan Kare’s artwork ruled my bulky beige desktop, and I still had to defend my choice of operating system….”But, it’s so easy, and it hardly crashes at all, and besides, do you have the mother of all reset tools?” I’d say, straightening a paper clip. “But I LIKE Hypercard, and I’ll get color, real soon!”
And I’ll watch it on my tiny laptop and cry…
The documentary just got a nice review on the website of one of Germany’s biggest weekly news magazines, Der Spiegel.

Hello, Neat post. There’s an issue along with your site in internet explorer, might test this? IE still is the market leader and a good component to people will omit your fantastic writing because of this problem.
Do you want to add rich texture to your garden? Do you want to display trophies or other awards in a manner befitting their importance?
