Jurors in an Oakland court have been submerged since the beginning of the week in a debate over whether consumers who bought Apple's iPod between 2006 and 2009 were effectively forced to purchase their music from the California titan's online iTunes store. Jobs' testimony from a few months before his death in October 2011 was played at the hearing Friday. In excerpts published by online news site "The Verge," he said that Apple was "very concerned" about retaliatory measures that could be taken by record companies if songs purchased in iTunes and downloaded to an iPod were then copied onto somebody else's computer. "We went to great pains to make sure that people couldn't hack into our digital rights management system because if they could, we would get nasty emails from the labels threatening us that they were going to yank the license," Jobs said. He argued that "lots of hackers" were trying to break into the system, and as a result, Apple had to be constantly "revving the iTunes and iPod software, closing any holes that might be in it, or any problems it might have." If these changes meant that competitors became locked out, then they were only "collateral damage," he said.[/quote]

Time is convoluted in Apple. Hardware models from centuries past phasing in and out...

I thought this was just going to be some guy who happened to be called Steve Jobs.
He's only been dead for 3 years? Feels like it was longer ago.
Does the video open with; " if you're watching this it means I'm dead" ? Or perhaps they have his mind on a computer somewhere like Max Headroom.

Man, first Joan Rivers comes back from the dead to advertise an iPhone and now Steve Jobs himself rises from the grave. Apple must have found the key to eternal youth.
