Steve Jobs chats with Walt Mossberg about the iPad. Steve is really intimidating! Walt Mossberg seems to be afraid to ask any tough questions about the iPad.
I've never seen a video of Steve Jobs just having a conversation with someone. It's only been Jobs interviewing or presenting.
Flash-free video link:

That video was just... weird. It's strange seeing Stevsie like that. I like how she calls him "el jobso".

Thanks for a Flash-free link! And wow, yes Steve is wonderfully intimidating.. his self-confidence is almost tangible.
It's good to have Steve.

I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

I thought he came off cold and disinterested.... it was almost uncomfortable to watch.

Jobs is a genius in front of hundreds of people.
He is a tyrant in front of a small number of people.
That's the way he is. That's what makes him successful.
Jobs is truly remarkable. Very few visionaries and geniuses are able to implement and capitalize on their creative genius. Jobs did it.

Well, Apple is his baby, and he knows what he wants and won't stop until he gets it. I'd love to work for someone like that. After the ignorant ****s I worked for the in Navy for 20 years who don't know jack, working for Mr. Jobs would be nice.

Interesting to see Steve in the wild like that. Even through video that is very close RDF exposure.
edit: I followed that video with the first 5 minutes of the iPad keynote and the contrast is fun to see.

Uhm, yeah, there are dozens of the same video with different footage. It's become an epidemic.

Intimidating? He seemed a bit edgy and out of his comfort zone to me. Better on the big stage, where he is fantastic.

I think Jobs just didn't appreciate the annoying woman there... not to mention I think he was a bit on edge. I'm surprised he went out and talked with somebody, I'd have thought he'd be hanging back avoiding crowds. You can tell Steve cares a lot about the success of the iPad and I think Mossberg's bringing up Amazon as if they had something on Apple was a bit of a piss of... which really if you're Steve wouldn't that piss you off? I mean call me an apologist but I agree, just charge the damn thing! I mean the number of people who are going to use this first and foremost as an ebook reader is just a fraction of the eventual user base. For me, when I get one it'll be web browsing, photos, various apps, Pages, it's not gonna be to read books that often. Sure I'll probably actually read more as a result of owning this thing, especially if they port iBooks to the iPhone. But 10 hours is a really long time, and I think Walt was fixated on that and I'd have been annoyed too.

BTW, saving and emailing Pages documents as Word files right on the iPad is a nice surprise. But I guess Apple understood emailing native Pages documents would be of limited use to most people.
Also, I expect a version of Word and Excel to run on the iPad. Microsoft won't leave money on the table like that.

He acts like a cult leader who is uncomfortable with impromptu questioning. It's like when Scientology figures are approached out of nowhere by a reporter.

He just seems mildly annoyed and curt. I'm sure Apple has spend a great deal of time making the iPad do what it does and these questions/comparisons seem retarded. To him.
"To me... it seems like.. I mean... 10 hours... thats not a lot of time... compared to an... HP calculator..."

At the same time, it is clear that SJ is a manager who is not caught up in the bullshit heavy business/marketing language and tactics so common among IT business manager types. He could have used all of this high brow sort of calculated, political sort of language, but instead he comes across as just a regular dude that you can just talk with without all of this pretense. Mossberg seemed a little more in his formal interview-mode mode than SJ.

Scary analogy. I see it though. I could see Tim leaving Apple over the iPad failure.

Let me guess: you were one of the visionaries that predicted the iPod would fail ?
Steve's track record so far speaks FOR him. To announce that he failed this time is very bold.
I don't know you, but I doubt anything in your background would impress me enough to seriously think that you have the authority to back up such a claim.

I agree that was painful, but mostly because of the awkward, can't-stop-interrupting-each-other conversation between Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher, not anything to do with Steve Jobs. And i do not ever need to see Walt that up close and personal ever again. Take a step or two back, Kara. Yeesh.

You're nuts. Jobs handles interviews very well. The guy is now sick, probably exhausted by the demo prep work, and having a conversation in a loud and crowded room. There's nothing odd about Steve's behaviour here.

It's pretty much impossible to keep on top of internet video content trends unless you watch a lot of them and really follow this, I've pretty much given up on this and find myself surprised by what is new to me but old to others.
I know I'm not the only one, I know several people that missed out on some videos and things that I figured everybody knew about : All your Base, Star Wars Kid, fail, icanhazcheezburger talk, etc.

I agree. He's just like any salesman talking up his product.
