The failures on stage were kind of endearing, to be honest, especially the one with Zuck. Plus the products seem really cool, I hope I'll be able to try them out soon.

Zuckerberg has negative charisma, it's painful to watch...

Jobs handled this so much better; while clearly he is pissed, he doesn't leave you cringing in mutual embarrassment, goes to show it isn't as easy as he makes it look!

This is much better? He tossed the camera aggressively to the other person, and then made a snide comment, and that's better than blaming wifi?

Jobs was one of a kind. He had that aura that Bill G et al envied. He admitted so in a video that can be found on YT.

Yet even Bill G handled public failure better than Zuck: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jGwy4sb9aO8

		I mean Bill wasnt figuring out how to get back at girls that rejected him in college lol. Zuck carries that energy no matter what he does nor what amount of wealth he amasses.

Jobs was a clear communicator who emphasized user friendly products in aesthetically pleasing boxes. If Silicon Valley wasn't the most obtuse place on earth he wouldn't have stood out nearly as hard.

		I think youre underestimating the effort necessary to simplify. Most humans I have encountered, particularly the book smart ones, are absolutely horrible at this. It really takes a concerted desire to be disciplined and focused to do it well. Unsurprisingly Jobs spoke a lot about the idea of focus and being disciplined, as being the foundation for his success.

These ppl expect perfect ( made up answers) in their "tell me about a time" interviews.

Endearing is great for trying to sell a heartfelt, homeade piece of art. It clashes when it's a trillionaire company trying to pretend this product can replace entire sectors of human labor.

Zuck and "endearing" do not belong in the same galaxy, yet alone in the same sentence together.

Yeah. I’m impressed we have any sort of wave guide display on sale commercially this year.
