Channel 4’s documentary “Steve Jobs: iChanged the World” will air tonight at 11:05 PM local time in the UK. This is the same documentary airing in the USA tonight on PBS at 10pm ET/10pm PT under the title, “Steve Jobs – One Last Thing.”
The story of the extraordinary life of one of America’s most successful innovators and entrepreneurs: from college drop-out to one of the wealthiest men in the world.
Through interviews with the people who Steve Jobs knew and who worked closely with him over the years, Steve Jobs: iChanged the World takes an unflinching look at his difficult, controlling reputation, and offers a unique insight into what made him tick.
In a never-before-broadcast, rare interview, Steve Jobs expounds his own philosophy of life, and offers advice to us all on changing our own lives to achieve our ambitions, our desires and our dreams. Steve looked back over his astonishing career and explained the principles on which he built his success.
[Thanks to MacDailyNews readers too numerous to mention individually for the heads up.]
The description of this broadcast sounds very much like the program airing tonight on PBS.
I wonder of they’re the same, just with different titles.
they are one in the same. Am watching it on PBS now. Much is summarized from the book, but it’s so nice to watch the people talk about him. Sad how they said “he logged out for the last time”, yet very fitting…made me want to cry.
“Logged out” from where?
“logged out” from his life 🙁 in this lifetime, @least I’d like to think!
watching it now
IGenius How Steve Jobs Changed the World airs in Australia on Discovery, on Saturday 5 Nov at 7:30pm (AEDST).
Hopefully we will also get iChanged the World sometime soon.
the article says:
“This is the same documentary airing in the USA tonight on PBS at 10pm ET/10pm PT under the title, “Steve Jobs – One Last Thing.””
Oh gawd, I hope not. ‘One Last Thing’ nearly inspired me to toss my dinner, it was so ridiculously fatuous.
trotted out some clichés, but also was fairly fair
iThink it’s a terrible name. Hopefully the actual program is better.
just watched it on PBS, was just a superb effort all the way through…they even touched on what a total POS John Sculley was.
I could not disagree more. The PBS ‘One Last Thing’ is an hour long POS, thanks in particular to disingenuous blowhard Walt Mossberg. I gagged.
:-Q*******
Just watched it and it was great!! Amazing what one progressive, forward thinking hippy can do to change the world. Thank you Steve!!!
Thank you for raising my spirits Pamela. I will have to catch a re-run of the program.
All the other Steve Jobs ‘tributes’ have been diabolically horrid.
Oops. Then I read it: This is the same documentary airing in the USA tonight on PBS at 10pm ET/10pm PT under the title, “Steve Jobs – One Last Thing.”
If you value your digestion, do NOT watch this fatuous POS documentary. I’m not done complaining at you yet, Walt Mossberg! BAD PIE! bad pie.
:-Q***
What was it that Walt said that actually annoyed you so much, seemed relatively benign to me I was hoping for a few more insights from him. Generally pretty good I thought though nothing particularly insightful and felt a little rushed (was it really an hour) especially the last third which just seemed to rush through the time when he returned to the company to the present day without any real feel or insight into what a great change from near irrelevance to domination and how how made it come about.
Also I felt the contribution from the Pixar guy with his own agenda who was clearly peeved that Jobs gained complete control by ‘daring’ to pile in money to keep it afloat and then claim the credit was pretty pathetic, most people at the time wouldn’t even know Jobs was associated with Pixar. Should either have left that on the cutting room floor or at least give us other brief insights of his time there from John Lasseter perhaps.
Jobs was quite humble within Pixar and never butted-in in actual art process. He contributed minimally on creative part, with only few ideas of his were ever used (he actually felt he did not need to add up artistically since the guys in Pixar were outstanding on their own).
So this talk about credits is obviously ill intent from that guy.
I just watched it on PBS.
It brought tears to my eyes. What a loss.
Watched it. Pretty much sucked. Not impressed at all and they want 24.99 for the DVD. They should have let the producers of NOVA or Nat Geo do the show. Would have been better.
Fair at best. Seemed cobbled together. Very disjointed. They should have taken a little more time and worked out the kinks.
I’m so glad Steve led the way and set the standard high when it comes to the devices we now all love to use. Saw a great tribute site featuring a new guitar song for Steve here:

It was OK. At least they had enough class to exclude Eric Schmidt.
Watched it on Channel 4 and thought it was rubbish. It was too short to do any of the material any justice, so just glossed over everything, and the whole iChapter thing to separate sections was just cliche and irritating.
Agreed! The only good bit about it is at the 1st and the last minute of the the entire program where they show the ‘lost’ interview of Steve Jobs in 1994.
+1
Yes, the iChapter things was so out of place and irritating. Seemed amateurish.
