    There must have been very few geekier phrases in '79 that would come remotely close to trumping "oh, it's radio-linked to a mainframe."

    In reply to Learn How to Build iPhone Apps from Stanford University
    Ever since the App Store was announced, I always felt there was pent up demand for an app that would automatically substitute the term "Grammy nominated" for "Grammy winner" in reference to John Mayer.


    I think most iPhone users would likely pay at least .99 for it.


    Please don't steal my idea.


    Point being, I've been waiting for something just like this in order to be able to build the kind of quality app iPhone users have come to expect.

    So... why exactly is this a great speech? As someone who studied rhetoric and writing, I find it kind of dull. It's by no means a bad speech, but neither is it a great one. It's just good to me.

    @Anonymoose: But the point of a speech, or of any delivery of a message, is that the way of communicating, the style of the message is absolutely as important as the content of the message.


    If not, my Stanford commencement address could be me standing in front of this class, holding my junk, screaming "BE MOTIVATED! BE MOTIVATED!"

    @Pope John Peeps II: well, for me the content of this particular message wasn't just "be motivated." this really was more of a testimonial than a speech that allowed the listener, or at least me, to draw several conclusions about life in general. i thought it carried a good message that was given more gravitas by the messenger. seeing it borne out in his life lends a credence and even a level of accessibilty to his words.

    @Anonymoose: Cool. So you're more into the message of Jobs' actual life. Events lived, things gotten done, etc. etc. That I can understand.


    @Eli Morland: Based on that comment, I can guarantee that I'm more successful at every aspect of living life than you are. So you can just eat a thicket of dicks.

    @Pope John Peeps II: yeah, that's why i would label the speech more as a testimonial. but i can see where one still might disagree with you on what merits the greatness of a speech are measured. hitler and mussolini's speeches could be classified as great. their delivery was phenomenal, and the language striking and powerful. but the content, well...

    @Anonymoose: Well, the prose was slightly better. But I don't think either of them were particularly great. Hitler in particular was pretty much just an evangelist preacher. His forte was in personal charisma and intensity. Great speeches are usually made by really great statesmen - people like Churchill, Jefferson, ML King, Cicero, Seneca...


    A great speech sort of flows right into your brain. You sort of listen to it and get really hyper-aware of everything he's saying. You become an inspired vessel, but intellectually inspired also. A speech that's only good can motivate you, but it never really hits your brain with the same kind of poetry.
