Playboy's photo of 29 year-old Steve Jobs.Playboy republished 1985 interview with Apple CEO Steve Jobs on the internet.
I already read this interview, but I’m surprised to see this in the headlines.
According to Switch.com and Atlantic.com, Playboy publishes their interview with 29 year-old Steve Jobs 25 years ago via the magazine’s UK site.
The Playboy interview with Apple CEO Steve Jobs was published in the February 1985 issue of the magazine, one year after the début of the Macintosh.
Here are my two favorites. First, Playboy Magazine’s question about Mac, and the possibility of it being out of date. 
And, Steve Jobs talking about making portable products (like iPhone 4 and iPad, LOL):
Playboy: At the rate things are changing, won’t Mac itself be out of date within a few years?
“Jobs: Before Macintosh, there were two standards: Apple II and IBM PC. Those two standards are like rivers carved in the rock bed of a canyon. It’s taken years to carve them–seven years to carve the Apple II and four years to carve the IBM. What we have done with Macintosh is that in less than a year, through the momentum of the revolutionary aspects of the product and through every ounce of marketing that we have as a company, we have been able to blast a third channel through that rock and make a third river, a third standard. In my opinion, there are only two companies that can do that today, Apple and IBM. Maybe that’s too bad, but to do it right now is just a monumental effort, and I don’t think that Apple or IBM will do that in the next three or four years. Toward the end of the Eighties, we may be seeing some new things.
Playboy: And in the meantime?
Jobs: The developments will be in making the products more and more portable, networking them, getting out laser printers, getting out shared data bases, getting out more communications ability, maybe the merging of the telephone and the personal computer.
Playboy: You have a lot riding on this one. Some people have said that Macintosh will make or break Apple. After Lisa and Apple III, Apple stock plummeted and the industry speculated that Apple might not survive.
Jobs: Yeah, we felt the weight of the world on our shoulders. We knew that we had to pull the rabbit out of the hat with Macintosh, or else we’d never realize the dreams we had for either the products or the company.”
Epic. So, so.. epic.
