I was browsing innovation and startup videos on yt because that's what I am studying in uni and what I am interested in. It lead me to this video, and I clicked on "harker school". I am amazed at the students at that school. I saw their semifinalists for their year 10-12 research projects and their research is of the same complexity as many research papers conducted by honor students and post graduate candidates. Wow, way to get ahead in life. Btw, thanks for posting this presentation.
This was a great seminar, with great information to absorb here. But, one thing to remember is that even though Apple has always been a great company, it has not always been a profitable one. Microsoft dominated the PC market for a long time, despite running their business as an antithesis to the information contained in this speech. Only within the last 10 years has Apple dominated in electronic consumer products, and their product(s) that hit big were not Macintosh desktops and laptops.
I liked the part, A players hire A+ players which should be the case in a competing company. This is opposite in my country, no one is strong enough to accept people better than they are.
This should have been a 2 minute video reminding you of all the stuff you've already read in technology and business blogs and in the Steve Jobs book. The one new thing I learned from Kawasaki is that experts are apparently clueless at making short, succinct videos that introduce new material.
Good to frankly admit Xerox invented or reduced-to-practice GUI ( clear image) & mouse concept & that Steve Jobs essentially copied after visiting Xerox. Usually that step is omitted in Apple's story. (Interestingly, in history, RCA scientist, in the early '30s, switched line of research as soon as Sarnoff got back from visit to Farnsworth TV lab; was mazed by his advances in cathode ray. 2nd pt., Apple could manufacture & ship items with those concepts faster ( seemed true) may also be valid, and may suggest ruthless Jobs could be in annexing ideas if there was no push-back from the entity being raided. I am a historian and like to see dispassionate truth.
- Ignore experts - Except for these lessons from Steve Jobs. o.O - Design matters - design doesn't matter to everybody - only 5% of personal computer users use Macs, implying that only Mac users care about design. o.O - Do something that is valuable AND unique - after admitting that Apple took many of their ideas from Xerox, meaning those ideas weren't unique. o.O - I could go on, but I'm running out of space in my comment. Apple rhetoric is so full of holes!
Great session. I always enjoy Guy Kawasaki's talk. Inspiring
Thank you so much:)
clear and useful presentation

Great presentation Guy! You're definitely enchanting!
Some things need to be believed to be seen! Thats my favourite :)

I'm amazed this is the first time you've ever done a TED talk! So glad to see your presentation! You've inspired me for years!
love it

can anyone explain why he mentioned " Viet Nam" here? is there any implications?
Somebody can tell me that why welcome to IBM computer business related to Welcome to Vietnam. What the hidden meaning he mentioned? Thanks
Really didn't need to be sooo long
He's the Guy! What more can I say.:) snackhealthysnacks
"This BOZO is reading his own slide verbatim."
Goes and reads the rest of his slides verbatim.
Are you still alive for comments here pal?

Apple rhetoric is so full of holes!
Even after 7 years your rationale is still severely flawed. Watch the video again and start thinking...
Guy Kawasaki hace presentaciones fantasticas pero sus camisas son horrorosas.
