Video: Boston Legal "Three Steves" speech
If you caught this week's episode of the silly-but-sultry ABC comedy Boston Legal, you probably remember Alan Shore (James Spader) giving an interesting closing argument while trying to get his colleague Denny Crane (William Shatner) off the TSA's "no-fly list." Shore cited the iPod as evidence of America's technological prowess, and suggested that TSA should ask innovative thinkers to step up and fix the problem of barring innocent people from planes.
It's lovely to see that Steve Jobs' influence on Disney/ABC has led to this sort of interstitial advertising praising Apple products in the middle of a show... but seriously: the top three tech innovators are "Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Steve BALLMER" -- are you kidding me? Time to sic Fake Steve on this guy and get him straightened out.

The netscape viewer really, really sucks. I couldn't get it to work *at all*, even after three tries.
This is an apple blog, where's the H264?

Steve Ballmer? An innovator? Are we talking about the same guy?

What no description? You are just going to post a video? I didn't know about this, but it is good. Don't be afraid of all the jerks out there who rip on every post. Great site, know that.

Boston Legal is a possibly the best show!
But we all knew that.
Nice find. I suppose David E. Kelley was struggling to find a third "pioneering" 'Steve' to add to the list. It would have been nice if Steve Ballmer wasn't one. Or at the very least Alan Shore (James Spader) could have made a knock towards him. After all there's nothing pioneering about shouting "developers, developers".
The End.

boston legal is one of my favorite shows!
you may also notice that they use apple products regularly on the show, but the apple logos are covered up with what appears to be duct tape. hmmm...

jjoonathan, I don't think the Netscape viewer sucks. In fact, the quality is clearly way above YouTube's.

Fanboys are missing something, Jobs in no innovater either... he's a marketing leech... Wozniak is the only one of the three that belongs there...
