And one more thing...

"And one more thing..." was a famous line Steve Jobs, founder of Apple Computer, always used before unveiling an amazing new product.

Among all the legendary and visionary products Apple produced they also produced some amazing commercials and videos

Many people know the 1984 commercial introducing the Macintosh (a film-style commercial with reference to the George Orwell novel 1984), but that is #3 on my personal favorites list.

#1 and #2? These are my 2 favorite Apple videos...



The first is narrated by Steve Jobs and makes me think of an educator speaking to a student, inspiring them to be inspired and create...


Powerful.



The second video I found early in the week, before Jobs passed. It was unearthed after the Siri iPhone 4S introduction. It is a video from 1987 and Apple's Knowledge Navigator program (ironically during the tenure of CEO John Sculley, not Steve Jobs). It is Apple predicting, almost to the day, the Siri announcement. Apple has always innovated, this video makes it seem as they they literally know the future...




Steve Jobs and Apple didn't just innovate and inspire with hardware and software. Their ideas, their creativity, their whole concept of design and useful minimalism, all worked together to make Apple and Steve jobs what they are today, true visionaries.
