I am absolutely loving watching the following videos of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and even a little of Steve Ballmer.  I know the most about Jobs only because I am reading a book about him right now.  The ability to watch these people makes us smarter and supports that the idea that the Internet is making us smarter as a race, contrary to what Nick Carr believes.  It really is amazing to have these videos ON DEMAND.

Job’s outfit is ridiculous and I am loving that he wears the same thing almost everytime.  I am definitely getting one of those black, silk, mandarin-collar shirts.  Now I know this has been said a million times before, but Job’s cadence and delivery is out of this world: What a phenomenal speaker and presenter.

Ballmer being Ballmer. (laughing at iPhone)

I want to put a video of a good Gates presentation here but, well, let’s just say thank goodness for his sake that he is good at making software otherwise in order to be rich people would have to buy a whole lot of boooring.  And I think the demand for that is rather low.  BONUS: Matthew McConaughey appears as Gates’ trainer.  And there are tons of other celebs in this video who actually save it and make it funny.  Jon Stewart another master of delivery;  Warren Buffet is great; And  a Barack Obama appearence.
