Even Steve Jobs slips up from time to time.
Watch a compilation of Steve Jobs’ and others’ Macworld Expo Keynote Presentation bloopers over recent years here.
MacDailyNews Take: Some funny stuff, many of which we witnessed firsthand. One of the very best we experienced in person was Jobs tossing the digital camera that wouldn’t work off the front of the stage. Ah, the memories!

Happy 51st birthday, Steve Jobs! – February 24, 2006
Insider secrets reveal behind-the-scenes of a Steve Jobs Macworld keynote – January 05, 2006
On the occasion of Steve’s 51st birthday, I guess this is the equivalent of the embarrassing 21st birthday speech!
Pretty funny stuff, after all, I did think the Letterman/Gates thing was a riot. Remember that MDN piece a while back about how SJ gets wound-up WAY tight before a MW presentation? I guess he’s trying to avoid moments like these.
Precious.
I sent this to all my PC-loving friends.
And I’m the guy who got hit in the head by one of those flying batteries from that thrown camera.
No kidding, Steve apologized naturally.
I asked him for his autograph and he said no.
MacDude – take the medal for the most boring poster on MDN.
What?
Funny video,
take a look at this luxury laptop, it’s only a few hundred more than a Mac Book Pro.

Classic! Thanks MDN.
Is it my imagination or did most of those bloopers happen while using an early classic version of explorer? Now we know why Apple developed Safari.

The way Steve handles these bloopers is just awesome… He makes Apple feel more humane and that is always a good thing for the brand in the long run. We all make mistakes!
THAT is the infamous camera throwing incident?!?!?! People are making way too much out of nothing. To say Steve is an ass because he threw a camera at an employee is ludicrous. Watch the video, the whole thing is so benign I can’t beleive that anyone but the stanuchest Apple hater would say that was anything but him just tossing it to lighten the mood and move on.
And underhand toss to a guy in the front row of the audience. Yeah, real hostile.
Guess that laptop you linked to proves that Mac Book Pro’s really aren’t overpriced then.

I liked the way everybody kept their sense of humor through it all.
haha…..Everybody makes mistakes- lets see the blooper reels from M$’s keynotes (we’ll be here for days)

OzzysCross101 –
I believe that the definition of “blooper” concerning Micro$oft is a misnomer. I mean, when it becomes the norm then “blooper” loses its punch.
Just think…How many Apple employees lost their jobs during the creation of those bloopers?
i recall another instance where his Keynote remote stopped working, to which he commented, after picking up a backup remote,
“well, we’re not the ones who make these.”
My favorite awkward moment, however, is when he was showing off Widgets and he opened up the stock one to see that apple’s price had fallen.
“oh…It looks like we’re actually a bit down… well, the keynote isn’t over yet.”
you know you don’t have a life when you can quote mac keynotes.
This video desperately needs a Bob Saget voiceover…
another Widget moment: during the Intel announcement keynote, before he actually announced the switch, Steve opened up Dashboard and one of the news Widgets (Bloomberg?) had as its lead story that Apple was switching to Intel chips.
Steve quickly scrolled down a little to other stories and quipped something like “never mind that”
great video
Dank:
“you know you don’t have a life when you can quote mac keynotes.”
LOL!
I love this…
Now we know why they don’t offer a live feed of the keynotes anymore.
Could this be the reason Apple legal shut down
