Steve Jobs NeXT Demo
DrunkenBlog posted a video of Steve Jobs demoing NeXT.

To be frank, NeXT was butt ugly. But some of its technologies and innovations were quite impressive its day. DrunkenBlog posted another article about striking similarities in some of the apps under OSX and NeXT. I guess when being good just wasn’t enough, you just gotta ride on the cool kid to bring out the edge.
Has anyone noticed what was wrong with the video? Somehow Steve just didn’t quite look himself in that grown-up-wannabe attire. Maybe that was why NeXT didn’t do too well — he tried too hard being someone he wasn’t. He’s meant to be a rebel.

When I tried to play the video I got a message saying that QuickTime is missing some components (but not which ones!) and that I should look for them here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html Does anyone have any idea of what I might need, or how to find out what I need?
Thanks,
John Link

Assuming you are using the latest verssion of Quicktime on a Mac, it’s probably a good idea to install Flip4Mac’s player for AVI and other Windows media formats: http://www.flip4mac.com/
If you are on Windows, try using Windows Media Player.

I already have Flip4Mac installed. I tried playing the video with Widows Media Player and that didn’t work either.
