Hi All, PBS premiered "Steve Jobs -- One Last Thing" yesterday in the U.S. I know that this just under an hour documentary was produced for PBS (Public Broadcasting System) and UK's Channel 4, so this may be old or redundant news for some of you. It features interviews with Ronald Wayne, the little-discussed third co-founder of Apple; Ross Perot, former U.S. presidential candidate who invested in NeXT Computer as the company was floundering; the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg; will.i.am., frontman and producer for The Black Eyed Peas; Dean Hovey, designer of Apple's original mouse; Robert Palladino, the calligraphy professor at Reed College whose classes inspired Jobs with his typography for the Mac; Woz, and many others. It also includes a previously untelevised 1994 interview where Jobs talks about his life's philosophy.
In the U.S. at least, you can currently access the program from the web at the URL: http://video.pbs.org/video/2163706349 This plays as an embedded flash video, so you have to be able to play Flash. Navigate past the heading level 3, "PBS Presents Steve Jobs: One Last Thing", and click on the "Flash". Interestingly, on my system, when I bring up the Safari preferences menu (Command+comma), and uncheck "Enable Plug-ins" on the Security tab, then go to the web page, so I get the message "To view the full experience of this website, please download and install Adobe Flash Player 9." instead of the "Flash" message when I navigate past the header, and then when I check the box for "Enable Plug-ins", the audio immediately starts playing (or I may have to reload with Command+R). Apparently, the video doesn't load, but the audio just plays. I'm running Snow Leopard, mainly because I didn't want to upgrade to Safari 5.1, and I have the Click To Flash plug in. Maybe somebody can report back if the web site works for users outside of the U.S., or if there is a UK Channel 4 web site.
