Apple Keynotes

In last month's post about Microsoft vs. Apple, I mentioned that Steve Jobs was giving a masterful PowerPoint presentation. It turns out I didn't know the half of it.

I always thought Steve Jobs' keynotes were especially fun to watch. They feel simple and passionate, like watching one of Apple's characteristic television commercials. But the preparation process is incredibly elaborate. The Guardian article Behind the magic curtain talks about all the perfectionism that goes into crafting one of those seemingly simple speeches.

See Steve Jobs in action -- watch his most recent presentation, introducing the iPod video, here.
