Articles about interview: September 6, 2008

Steve Jobs: Coming to a TV near you tonight!

by Josh Holat on Apr 22, 2008 at 04:04 PM

Steve JobsThe co-founder of your favorite company, Apple, will be on the Starz movie channel tonight along with other famous people such as Tom Hanks and George Lucas.  This show is a interview called “The Pixar Story” and will air at 10 PM local time.  Here’s an intro from the website:

Here’s the problem with this doc, which charts the birth, near-death, and explosion of the multiple-Oscar-winning animation studio: It will make you realize that your job sucks.

If you don’t remember, Mr. Jobs founded Pixar Animation Studios and was at one point its CEO.  However, he stepped down from that position when the company was acquired by the Walt Disney Company.  It should be a pretty interesting interview given how Steve actually got a hold of the company in the first place and how he also founded another hugely successful company, Apple.  Check it out and let us know how it is!




Steve Jobs speaks with Fortune Magazine

Steve Jobs
In a very interesting article, Apple CEO Steve Jobs spoke with Fortune magazine on a variety of topics. The topics, presented in a slideshow format, include the iPhone, Apple’s connection with the consumer, Apple’s strategy, what drives Apple employees, Apple’s future without him, Apple’s focus, his management style, the benefits of owing their own operating system, the iPod “tipping point,” launching the Apple Store, failing with the Apple TV, and managing through the stock market’s downturn.

The article offers one of the best looks into Steve Jobs’ mind in a while; composed almost entirely of direct quotes from him. The most interesting segments I found were “On whether Apple could live without him,” and “On his management style.” He speaks very honestly about his management style, often described as extremely meticulous and almost dictatorial. He also has seemingly different ideas about how Apple would do without him than most of the Mac community.

I highly recommend this article to anyone who is interested in Apple in any capacity (which you probably are if you’re reading this!)
