In this candid, in-depth interview filmed in 1995, Steve Jobs discusses at length his early days, career battles, and vision for the future. It provides a fascinating look at Jobs at a particularly interesting moment in his career, two years before he would go on to retake control of Apple. The video is free if you are a member of Amazon Prime.

Overview (from the official website):

In 1995, during the making of his TV series Triumph of the Nerds about the birth of the PC, Bob Cringely did a memorable hour-long interview with Steve Jobs. It was 10 years since Jobs had left Apple following a bruising struggle with John Sculley, the CEO he had brought into the company. At the time of the interview Jobs was running NeXT, the niche computer company he had founded after leaving Apple. During the interview, Jobs was at his charismatic best – witty, outspoken, visionary. In the end, only a part of the interview was used in the series and the rest was thought lost. But recently a VHS copy was found in the series director’s garage. Now, cleaned up with modern technology, and put into context by Cringely, the entire interview will be screened in Landmark Theatres.

Amazon has updated their Instant Video App to version 2.1, adding official AirPlay support for the content.

Previously, watching Amazon Video content on the Apple TV was possible only by streaming it from a Mac using AirPlay Mirroring or 3rd party apps like AirParrot, but it wasn’t always that reliable. It appears Amazon have heard their consumers by adding this long requested feature. The addition of AirPlay means Amazon’s Instant Video can be watched on the Apple TV via any device running iOS.

It was rumoured that the delay in adding AirPlay support was the agreements that needed to be in place with the content providers to allow the content to be streamed to other devices, so the addition of this feature is pretty big.

In addition to this, the 2.1 update brings deeper integration with IMDB to show information about the TV show or Movie including cast, crew, and other facts. It’s a surprise it took until 2.1 to add this integration, given Amazon own IMDB anyway.

Users can now also see iTunes-inspired metadata such as what customers are also watching and also cross-reference different content based on author or director.

Together with this are the usual performance and big fixes you’d expect from an update.
