How many times do you rehearse an important presentation? What kind of resources do you allocate to a major presentation? Have you ever watched Steve Jobs delivering one of his magical keynotes, and thought "How simple. How brilliant."
Well, the media frenzy is already buzzing in anticipation of Steve Jobs' presentation next week. Rumours are all over the Internet about what he might be showcasing.
Here's a behind the scenes look at what's involved in a typical Steve Jobs keynote, written by someone who was on his team. What seems like a simple, elegant presentation is actually a super produced, ultra rehearsed stage show. It's the ultimate presentation, produced with the talents of many people from the Apple organization. This is a real candid look at all of the planning, preparation and production that's involved behind the scenes.

Ever have your laptop freeze in the middle of a presentation?
