[videos] Hilarious Apple Videos From 1997; 11 Years Ago with John Sculley

It’s no secret that we absolutely adore old Apple videos around here. Especially ones with that awesome CEO we once had. No, not Steve… What was his name again? Sculley or something? Anyways, it seems as though Apple was predicting the future back in 1997. What with satellites and crazy airport terminal workstations and everything!

One can only imagine what Apple would have in store for us for 2018 if John Sculley were still steering the ship. Maybe the newton 8 with an extra compartment for your 3 stylus pens? ~~That would’ve be awesome!~~

[video] The birth of Macintosh.

In light of the end of this year’s WWDC, we thought you may enjoy this snippet from the vaults of Steve Jobs demoing the first Macintosh in January of 1984. Its amazing to see how far we’ve come in the past 24 years.

The video was captured by Andy Hertzfeld who states “Pandemonium reigns as the demo completes. Steve has the biggest smile I’ve ever seen on his face, obviously holding back tears as he is overwhelmed by the moment. The ovation continues for at least five minutes before he quiets the crowd down,” in his retelling of the event.

So for your Sunday evening viewing pleasure, please enjoy.

Apple & Gaming. The Pippin does NOT mean they gave it a shot.

Just for Clarification… This video and Apple’s flopped PIPPIN gaming console does NOT mean they have given gaming the shot it deserves. Apple knows this and will hopefully make up for this devastating flop of a device.

The Pippin sold 42,000 units.

It simply couldn’t compete against machines like the Nintendo 64, Sega and the original PlayStation.

Apple really needs to break out of its shell and do something that will blow the gaming world away. I’m not saying Apple needs to release a console that would directly compete with Microsoft’s Xbox, but a slight acknowledgement to the gaming community would sure put Apple in the proper light.

In the meantime, let’s get nostalgic about the video above, and hope that in our lifetime, we can see how Steve decides to make up for it.
