Do you guys remember any particular moments where Steve Jobs was demoing something on a Mac during one of his keynotes and something didn't go right? His Mac crashed, froze, was slow, something he was using didn't function properly?
Any specific incidences?

I remember things like that happening to Steve. He always handles them with grace.

Unreal Tournament crashing in an OSX demonstration, saying "It should look cool".
Digital camera not turning on, throwing it at an employee.
SJ is as cool as you and me.

Steve: Looks like we have a bug here... Well that's why we have back up machines. (Steve flicks a switch, and the crowd goes wild) [MacWorld 2005, I think]
Steve: (Steve declares OS 9 dead, and then declares all developers should focus on OS 9 from here on out) [WWDC 2003 I think]

I believe it was Quake III with Phil Schiller as the other player, in Jan 2000. IIRC, Steve had trouble creating an iCard, too.

The Sony CEO ripped Steve a big one in MWSF 2005 when he told him his software was buggy (after TIger had crashed)

A giant wall of 50 iMacs failing to netboot on cue. A Tokyo keynote I think maybe around 2001-02. I think this was a classic where everything went wrong.

I have that video clip. I uploaded it to Rapidshare for you here
It wasn't really a "crash" per se, the game just froze when Schiller was attempting to load the game under Single Player mode.

at the special event in 10/05, he said when he picked up the iPod w/ video "let me get the iMac", and also in the same presentation, when he showed the specs for the iMac G5 w/ front row, it said 160 MB SATA, & 250 MB SATA. All I can think of.

Apparently, I'm a sig violator. I feel honored. Oops.

I can't find the instance where he said
"let me get the imac", do you have the minutes and seconds where it happens? What part of the presentation? Beginning, middle, end?

I don't remember that first part - but yes, you're right about the size of hard-drives for the iMacs w/ iSight. Quite a blunder to overlook.

Probably because he was in Japan, where Airport is called AirMac.
AirMac Extreme Page (in Japanese).

This one is fresh: Jobs saying that he didn't see a video iPod in the future (or something to that effect).
Also, Jobs saying that CRTs are dead, as far as Apple was concerned, and yet they continued to sell the eMac to the public for quite a while later.
iTools, as has been mentioned, but specifically the "@mac.com" fiasco which convinced me not to fully trust in Apple's word again after I had ordered and received hundreds of little address labels with my "@mac.com" e-Mail address just to spread the word.
