  • Steve Job’s “take” on Final Cut Pro X

    Posted by Devin Crane on June 23, 2011 at 1:35 am

    At one point, Jobs asked his team what “Final Cut Pro X” was supposed to do. Upon receiving an answer he quickly fired back, “So why the f*** doesn’t it do that?” Jobs even invoked the name of trusty ally “Walter Biscardi” – who was critical of “Final Cut Pro X” – to drive home the point that the “Final Cut Pro X” rollout was a flop.

    What are you referring to? Is there a meeting that Steve Jobs was at that you are referencing? And if so, how do you know what was said? Give us the full story here.

    Where is this info coming from?

    Guys, this is a joke relating to Job’s reaction to the negative feedback of Mobile Me.

    Satire from the Mobile Me debacle:

    At one point, Jobs asked his team what MobileMe was supposed to do. Upon receiving an answer he quickly fired back, “So why the f*** doesn’t it do that?” Jobs even invoked the name of trusty ally Walt Mossberg – who was critical of MobileMe – to drive home the point that the MobileMe rollout was a flop.
