Found Footage: Steve introduces the "1984" ad
Here's a great video of Steve introducing the famous "1984" ad to a boisterous crowd (we're guessing the Macintosh team) a week before it aired during the 1984 Super Bowl. I'd say they liked it. If Steve's good at one thing, it's making a ...
Found Footage: Steve Jobs 1984 keynote
Being that this is TUAW and we're hounds for this stuff, I'm sure we've come across this footage some time ago, but I came up empty handed while traversing our archives, and even Google found nothing, so here we go: it's a blast from the past boys ...
Apple '1984' ad 10th in CBS countdown

Many people call Apple's 1984 ad (this one is slightly updated), which introduced the Macintosh, as the best ad ever made. It aired 23 years ago today during Super Bowl XVIII. Head on over to Tony Long's piece for Wired to see why this iconic ad ...

Hey Dvorak, welcome to 1984
Maybe I shouldn't even link to this latest John C. Dvorak column, since in the past he's essentially admitted to antagonizing Mac users just to get traffic, but it's not every day that Dvorak basically admits that the Mac is superior. He goes out of ...
1984 Computers and Electronics article on the Mac
Over at Jag's House I found an article from 1984 on the intro of the Mac. Billed on the cover as "Apple's exciting new business computer," it's a wonderful step back in time to a different era. I had to laugh at the lower headline on the ...

Futurama's 1984 ad parody on macTV
Allright, I'll admit it: I'm a huge Futurama fan. The show that I once thought was The Simpsons' heir apparent is still filling up my TiVo with repeats. On my iMac, I've got Futurama Konfabulator widgets as well as some great icons from The ...

Macintosh intro one of the top 10 best presentations ever
We all know that his Steveness is a master showman. His patented Reality Distortion Field often gets people to take out their wallets before he has even uncovered whatever product he is showing off. That is why it should come as no surprise that his ...

It's 1984. Meet the Lisa. I'm warning you now, this video is not short. It starts with a nostalgic look back by the expert who more than twenty years earlier introduced the Lisa in a televised interview. He talks about the moment in time, the ...
