Good Apple that changed the world

Call this a tribute to a great man; this is one top ten list that's been on my mind for a while. Steve Jobs / Apple related videos here, in no particular order-

1. Microsoft makes third grade products
This holds true even today. What is that one central thought that drives and differentiates between a great company and a mediocre one? Very well articulated in few words here.

2. First iPod launch.
Very ballsy move when Apple's main computer business was tanking.
What do you do? Come up with a music player. Very few have the courage to think and act like this… and succeed!

3. Famous Stanford speech
Watch this anytime you don't seem to know where life is going exactly.

4. Of all Apple products, I have related to iPod the most; and the ads have been my all-time favorites. Here's the 'Pods unite' video for iPod and the VW Beetle.

5.iPod Feist ad for video on Nano

6. Hilarious Mac/PC ads

7. Apple ‘Think Different’ ad

8. iPad in schools
I teach art on Saturdays in a primary school for underprivileged children- with no technology whatsoever, over and beyond a blackboard and chalk. But looking at this capability of children with tech, their mature feedback and willingness to learn, all I can say is, ‘Way to go.’

9 . Siri in iPhone
Though the iPhone 4S was not received very well as expected, I thought this was one groundbreaker in phone tech- a device that ‘understands’ what you are saying. Ballsy decisions like this make this company and its people great; going where others fear to tread in a big way.

10. Thanks, Devinder- for video no. 10

Wordpress it is!

I have moved to Wordpress. After much introspection and discussion on what Blogger and Wordpress are capable of, I figured a one-stop shop...
