Thats not Steve Jobs ghost. Thats HAL-9000!!! HAL is the computer that took control of the tech on the '2001: A Space Odyssey' space station. HAL is probably most famous for the "Open the pod bay door, HAL" and the response "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid i can't do that". Also, as he's deactivated, the scene with the "Daisy Girl" line
The Apple II was one of the first Apple computers released. It came out in 1977. GUI is short for Graphical User Interface. It's what the screen looks like. For example, for today's Macs the full screen, minimize, and close buttons are the 3 dots green, yellow, red. For Windows its the minus, the box, and the X. Jobs' line "I got a PC" before he died, the PC he's referring to is Pancreatic Cancer. My favorite ERB is Winston Churchill vs Teddy Roosevelt
“And the GUI that Melinda uses” GUI stands for graphical user interface which is essentially how the user interacts with the PC over graphic symbols, he’s basically claiming she’d rather use Apple products over Bill’s but when he adds the smirk it does sound like it’s a sexual innuendo, which I thought at first when I was a kid and didn’t know what it stood for😅
The Hal robot at the end is not supposed to be Jobs talking from heaven, it's supposed to be Linux (another computing system) represented by a fictional AI from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The company was always called Apple, and because Macintosh is a type of apple, they named their Operating System after it and then later shortened THAT to MacOS and then just Mac. The Apple II was before Mac though and what really got the company going as it was one of the first and one of the best personal computer systems in the early to mid-80s. You might be too young to remember much if anything about DOS (Disk Operating System) but it was all typing and text. GUI means Graphical User Interface, which is systems like Mac and Windows, the whole thing where you have a mouse pointer and click on icons and stuff, that's a GUI. Jobs didn't steal anything from Woz, they were partners playing to their own strengths and they co-founded Apple. Woz was the brains behind the tech and Jobs was the dreamer and brains behind the marketing. If you want to know more about the history of this battle, watch Pirates of Silicon Valley from 1999. Also, you REALLY need to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey. 😛
The last part with HAL-9000 basically represents AI. Using HAL as an icon was a way of basically saying: "Tell me you're an AI, without actually telling me you're an AI."
Apple II was one of the original computers available for sale to the home computer market in the late 70s. In the early 80s, the Commodore 64 and IBM PC came out, and really started being affordable to the average family. The original Mac (Macintosh) came out in 1984 with a black & white-only 9-inch screen, but it was one of the very first home computers with a graphical user interface (GUI) - icons on screen, where you had to use a mouse, etc.
There is a book out there that was made into a tv documentary called "Accidental empires. How the Boys of Silicon Valley Make Their Millions, Battle Foreign Competition, and Still Can't Get a Date" which explains this Job vs Gates 1980's-90's "rivalry" between them and others fairly well. This "rap battle' does a pretty good job at telling about the major events of that era.
I do find it interesting that so many people only get the HAL/Space Odyssey reference, but don't realize that HAL is only personifying GNU/Linux, an open source platform that's "in your laptop and your pocket", as it's the basis for Android systems and used extensively by the military. ("How you gonna shoot me down when i fire the rocket?") "I'm on Linux, bitch. I thought you GNU." Since Linux is open source, it has no centralized spokesperson or company behind it. So they had to pick a persona that could deliver the lines credibly. I've gotten into the habit of researching most, if not every line in an ERB, however briefly, because there's so much you can actually learn from them unironically. Even to this day, usually from watching reactions like these, I'll learn something from someone else that I totally missed or misinterpreted.
I think this rap battle should have linus torvalds for that third part. Linus did invent linux operating system and it runs on more devices than apple by a lot. But Linus made linux free for everyone to use so no money and fame like bill gates or Steve jobs for him :/
Steve Jobs was basically a mouth piece for Apple. He had no clue how to run code or do anything technical. And the computer is HAL 9000 the computer from 2001 A Space Odyssey who guided the ship and becomes self aware.
Especially currently in the face of AI programs like ChatGPT that can now basically create things on their own (albeit with prompting). This battle is arguably more relevant now than when it was first released.
@@chickenwings6172 Yes H.A.L.9000 is the AI from 2001 A Space Odyssey, but in this rap it represents the growth of AI, and by the way I'm 63 and a boomer if you don't mind.
The Mac was preceded by the Apple 1 and Apple II computers, which were succeeded by a few variations on the Apple II. Then the Macintosh computer was developed.
ERB could have used Linus Torvalds to represent everything open source and alt-tech, but they used HAL 9000. Sometimes, I see HAL 9000 represent BSD as well.
GUI = Graphical User Interface. Windows took the way Apple computers functioned with clickable icons and adapted it to Microsoft products. You use a GUI every time you click a button instead of typing 80 commands.
Apple II was the first big computer released by Apple. It was really easy to use compared to other computers at the time. As a result it was the computer used in schools. Before that it was the Commodore 64 or 128, either of which were more complicated.
The ending is about Linux. Everything they're talking about was done on Linux, from AI to guiding rockets to the Terminator references (The T-800 is seen running a Linux kernel in the movie) and everything in-between.
The apple II E was a computer that was before the Mac I had one it used really small thin disc's that where like a paper envelope with the readable part sandwiched in between we called them floppy disks
Apple II was before Macintosh and all of the others. It was (and still is) one of the best selling Personal Computers of all time. It came with a built in Keyboard and monitor, unlike the Apple I and the other computers around at that time.
Oh! I think the rapping computer at the end is meant to be an AI that has become conscious, modelled on HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey, and here to stomp on all the tech rich kids that created it. It had never occurred to me that it could be Jobs’s consciousness uploaded after he died, kind of cool idea though.
HAL-9000 was an AI in the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey. But due to the intentional programming directives, it became paranoid and went mad and killed the mission crew. It killed those it was built to serve. We sowed the seeds of our destruction.
When it comes to the "Apple II" story, basically Gates made the "Personal Computer" a thing, Jobs made a prettier version which included technology and ideas stolen from Xerox (and others), that sold rather well and Apple in the beginning ended up a much bigger business than Microsoft. Then jobs did a bunch of weird things and more or less ran Apple into financial ruin, then Gates (his old friend) intervened and made a loan to him so he could restart. Apple only exissts as a company today because Micrrosoft saved it.
GUI = Graphic User Interface. In short its the software that ultimately lets a user control the function of whatever system they are using. Don't know the intended meaning, but can think of several different ways to twist that into a dirty joke
Loved the direct injection from Jobs as he started " Let me jump right in.." as if not to wait for the ERB intro to get done. And just for the record....Hal won this lol
95% of the servers that run the top million most popular sites websites run on Linux Every one of the top 500 super computers back in 2021 ran on Linux. Android, which currently holds about a 72% of the smartphone market, is built on top of Linux. Linux has always been everywhere. And desktop Linux distributions are continually growing more popular and is currently in a place that's perfectly acceptable for the average user. I use Arch btw. XD
as others have said, the ending was gates battling A.I.. which is actually pretty spot on given whats been happening. it's also speculated that the battle was ACTUALLY supposed to be Gates Vs HAL, but steve jumped in before the name could be revealed thinking it would be about him (a reference to his infamous narcissism). but i dunno if this was ever confirmed. and yeah, their rivalry was played up by fans and media much more then it actually existed. I think the sad part is, this battle was much closer then then it is now. apple has fallen alot since the days of Jobs. more money for the company, but lower quality products being produced.
I'm always sad to find that people don't recognize HAL. (or the future equivalent used for that video) I was lucky enough to get to see the movie, so that design and sound has special significance. :)
There are sooooo many things to comment on here. First of all the HAL 9000 red light is a play of the movie "2001 space odyssey and HAL converts to IBM. Ironic Next, no body remembers this but Microsoft saved Aple from bankruptcy. Look it up. Those are the only two I want to address.
I love your reactions, but when it comes to ERB's, I highly recommend watching them with your cousin. ERB reactions are hard to watch when the reactor isn't too familiar with the history of the opponents featured in the raps.
I never used an Apple computer because they are to expensive, the same with all their products. Also can't upgrade an Apple's GPU, have to buy a whole new Apple.
Actually Apple wasn't the best at editing sound and video. It was actually the Amiga which was bought out by Commodore and they went under then Gateway bought them and shelved everything that was Amiga. The reason they did that is because they were destroying everyone out there. Windows and Apple could not compete against Amiga at all. If they had not went under due to Commodore then Amiga would be the big giant in the industry.
i liked this battle but it always bothers me when people say "pc and mac".....because apple computers are also pcs......literally. i suspect normies mean windows vs the apple operating system. but to call windows "pc" is silly.....the pc is the hardware.....
This was made over a decade ago. Elon Musk was already a public figure to some degree but nowhere near as much as he's become in the last five years or so.
The HAL-9000 is the computer in the book/movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. The computer was self aware and plotted against the people on the space station.
So few people caught this reference. So sad.

What’s even more fun about the HAL-9000 is that it’s a nod to IBM. H-A-L is each one letter to the left of IBM.
Most people overlook the line “I got a PC but it wasn’t from you” he was referencing his Pancreatic cancer.
And the part being adopted "second hand jeans (Genes)"
And the line "and people with jobs/Jobs use PC"

Hal 9000 was a AI from 2001 A Space Odyssey. Basically saying the computers will take over like Skynet.
Funny thing about HAL is it one letter off from IBM, A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M H is next to I, A is next to B, and L is next to M.
