?Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview? Available For Rent In iTunes

lostinterviewSix months after its teaser trailer showed up online, Robert X. Cringley's "lost" interview with Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has now available for rent?in iTunes where it's available for $3.99. In 1995, Cringely interviewed Jobs, then running Next, and two years out from what would later be his triumphant return to Apple, for a PBS documentary called "Triumph of the Nerds." However, much of their discussion ended up on the cutting room floor - 70 minutes worth, in fact. In the unaired portions, Jobs talked about his approach to product design, team building and product evolution, among other things. At the time, those insights may not have had the impact they do now, as the iPod, iTunes, iPhone and iPad had yet to be invented.

Christian Dior changes its face in couture day 1

PARIS (AP) -- The start of haute couture week in Paris is a must on any self-respecting fashionista's calendar.

But day one of the French capital's fall-winter 2012 shows was different: It's what's called a fashion event.

Monday was the debut of Christian Dior's new designer Raf Simons ? the first chance to see into the future of a storied powerhouse.

He is only their fifth designer since Christian Dior founded the company in 1946.

The anticipation was evident in the front row turnout: a who's who of influence, from Marc Jacobs to Donatella Versace, Pierre Cardin, Riccardo Tisci and Diane von Furstenberg.

Ever since last year's dismissal of John Galliano, the house has been looking for a new, stronger direction.

In Simons' triumphant offering ? which modernized the cinched waisted New Look ? it would seem they've found it.

Haute couture is an artisan-based method of making clothes that dates back over 150 years.

The highly expensive garments, shown in collections in Paris twice a year, are bought by a core group of no more than 100 rich women around the world.

Other shows on a busy day included Giambattista Valli, who also channeled 1950s silhouettes in tulip and A-line silhouettes.

Meanwhile, Moroccan-born designer Bouchra Jarrar went back to haute couture's artisanal roots to produce an accomplished show of femininity.

Tuesday's shows include Chanel and Armani Prive.

CHRISTIAN DIOR

Say it with flowers.

That was the clear message from new designer Raf Simons in his 1950s-tinged haute couture debut for Christian Dior.

When the normally exuberant house first hired the Belgian designer, known for his minimalist and linear style, it raised eyebrows.

But Monday's show will win many over.

He revitalized with panache the curved Dior "flower women" silhouette.

It's what Christian Dior, the man, used to describe his revolutionary 1947 New Look of cinched waists and full skirts that resembled inverted flowers.

One thing's clear: Simons has done his homework.

In the four months since being named creative director, he's delved deep into the house's archives.

The result: a strong show in homage to Dior's love of flowers, but never a servile one.

Simons owned it.

Fifty four diverse looks paraded through several sweet-scented salons, wall-to-wall in myriad multi-colored flowers.

The first pieces were among the strongest.

Simons truncated the New Look, pairing high-waisted A-line mini dresses with contemporary black pants.

These were followed by a series of clean A-line archive pieces in bright reds and pale pink.

Their clean lines with large, hip-level pockets signaled a break from the vivacity of Simons' predecessor, John Galliano.

Dior's been looking for fresh direction ever since Galliano was sacked last year for a drunken anti-Semitic tirade.

This collection shows they've found their man.

Simons aimed to create a new kind of couture. He said it wasn't "just about reaching for a typical satin duchesse, a silk...but new forms."

And this was certainly fresh territory.

One bright yellow, show-stopping evening dress might have come in silk, but its skintight sheer top exposed the model's nipple ring.

Some of the looks in fur didn't quite work, but the misses were outweighed by plays on traditional form.

In a clever touch, Simons transformed the Bar Jacket into a tuxedo-dress, turning its cupped pockets into a Madonna-style conical bra.

Simons' show proves that change is a good thing. Now, Dior could well give Louis Vuitton and Hermes a run for their money.

BOUCHRA JARRAR

Bouchra Jarrar is relishing her feminine side.

The lauded designer opened Paris' haute couture week on a breeze of soft A-line silhouettes.

The 22 highly wearable dresses ? in a gentle palette of lavender, black and white ? floated by with clean draped collars and backs with effortless elegance.

But the simplicity of the collection was deceptive.

At work here was the atelier of the last great embroider, Francois Lesage, who passed away last year ? a huge loss to Parisian fashion.

But here his techniques carried on.

A perfect example was on one silk georgette knee-length dress with a deep green flash of crepe de chine. Its hand-woven draped collar in tweed showed off couture's accomplished fastidious technique.

"It was like magic," added Jarrar. "(The atelier) worked with Lesage for 30 years: you can see it in the clothes."

And you could.

GIAMBATTISTA VALLI

Giambattista Valli explored the flora and fauna of Mother Nature in a cinched waisted 1950s offering.

Models in billowing floral creations of lightweight silk organza and muslin fluttered by on Monday, some with butterflies covering their mouth.

His signature style of clothing ? known to be uber-feminine ? is rapidly building up a strong following among fashion's glitterati.

It was ? of course ? a VIP-filled front row.

"I'm dying to get into one of those dresses," gushed Jessica Stam, one of the world's highest paid models. "I just loved those butterflies."

The vibrant show was all about prints.

For the garden, tulip shaped or A-line skirts were covered in rose prints.

The silhouettes at times had a distinct feel of Christian Dior's 1950s looks ? this generating, on more than one occasion, shocked gasps from fashionistas.

There were some sublime looks. In several ensembles the models' head disappeared in the voluminous, petal-like muslin ruffles.

But Valli took it too far.

One bizarre green feathered evening dress, the program notes described as "wild grass." It looked more like a hedge needing a trim.

ATELIER VERSACE

On Sunday, in an emotional coming home, Donatella Versace finally took an Atelier Versace couture show back to the Ritz Hotel in Paris ? the last place she saw her late brother Gianni.

The Ritz has a particular significance for the storied Italian house.

Gianni staged his last runway show there shortly before his murder in Miami in 1997.

But Donatella ensured there was no room for mourning. Instead, her couture was a bejeweled celebration of a house with buoyant revenues and still lots to say.

The celebrity presence alone was proof enough of the house's enduring pull.

The 26 dresses were all strict, revealing and uber-sexy. Waists were cinched to within an inch of life on mainly corseted bodices ? in metallic gold rose, blush and purple. The longer length evening gowns billowed with techno chiffon, of Barbie doll proportions.

Donatella is a designer demanding of perfection. It seems that being 6 feet (1.8 meters) is still not tall enough: one model stumbled twice, her heel tangled in her gown's cascading layers.

But the garments, bought by a core group of no more than 100 rich women around the world, are not for the average Jane. Creations range in price from $19,000 to $125,000.

The show ended to Prince's hit "Kiss."

You don't have to be rich to rule Versace's world? Surely it must help.

In Florida fight, Obama and Romney scrap along I-4

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) ? In the presidential battleground with the biggest prize, Democrat Barack Obama is focused on ratcheting up voter turnout in Florida's university towns, its Hispanic enclaves around Orlando and its Jewish communities in the south. Republican challenger Mitt Romney is working to squeeze as many votes as possible out of north Florida's conservative military bastions, the senior-heavy Gulf Coast and Miami's Cuban community.

But their strategies to energize core supporters overlap in the central Florida swing-voting region that's key to winning the state and its 29 electoral votes. Voters along Interstate 4, which stretches from Tampa Bay to Daytona Beach, will determine the outcome if the race remains close into the fall, as expected. About 45 percent of the state's voters live in that 17-county area.

"Neither party has enough base alone, which is why those persuadable places, particularly along the I-4 corridor, are so important," said Steve Schale, a Democrat who ran Obama's Florida campaign four years ago.

It seems that's usually the case, judging by Florida's track record of hard-fought races and narrow presidential outcomes since the 2000 race landed at the Supreme Court, which then handed the White House to Republican George W. Bush.

Bush won the state again four years later, 52 percent to 47 percent, over Democrat John Kerry. But in 2008, the state sided with Democrats when Obama defeated Republican John McCain, 51 percent to 48 percent.

This year, the stakes are hard to overstate: Obama's re-election is nearly assured should he repeat his 2008 victory in Florida, based on how the states lean now. His standing in Florida is far more precarious than it is in other contested states ? so if he wins Florida, it's likely that he's won in many other states as he looks to cobble together the 270 Electoral College votes it takes to win. Romney's state-by-state routes to reaching the magic number are more limited than the president's, and a Florida victory would make it far more probable that he could win the presidency.

The electorate in Florida is virtually unchanged from 2008 because the ailing economy stifled the population growth of the previous decade. And in this campaign, the economy dominates.

The recession took a deep toll on the state's recreation industry, especially around Orlando. A decline in foreign trade hurt the Port of Tampa, Florida's largest shipping port. The housing crisis fueled widespread home foreclosures and severely hampered the construction industry on which much of the region's immigrant-heavy workforce relies.

Florida's unemployment rate was 8.6 percent in May, slightly higher than the national average and all other presidential battleground states except Nevada.

A little more than four months before the Nov. 6 election, Obama narrowly leads Romney in statewide polls.

The president and his Democratic allies spent roughly $17 million in television advertising in Florida from April, when Romney effectively became the GOP presidential nominee, through last week. Romney's campaign hasn't been on the air in the state since then, but his allies have doled out $12 million during that time. The ads are heavily concentrated on the Tampa and Orlando media markets, which are cheaper than Miami's and reach far more swing voters.

Of the $2.8 million spent on TV ads in the state last week, $1.8 million was in this region.

Obama is on defense in the I-4 corridor, which he won by a very slim majority in 2008 after Bush won it in 2000 and 2004. Republicans hope that holding their national convention in Tampa in August will give them an edge.

In a close race where anything could be determinative, organization could count hugely and, on this point for now at least, Obama has an advantage. He never dismantled his 2008 campaign infrastructure in the state and has 36 campaign offices. Romney has quickly opened 23, run jointly with the Republican National Committee.

"In a race like this, that is so close and so hard-fought, door-to-door, mail and telephones could make the difference," said Republican Sally Bradshaw, a top Florida aide to Romney during his failed 2008 presidential bid.

Of paramount importance for both candidates right now: energizing and mobilizing core supporters.

For Obama, that means working to tap the burgeoning Puerto Rican community ? an outlier in Florida's sluggish population growth ? around Orlando. Puerto Ricans tend to support Democrats.

Romney aides, in turn, see a chance to shave Obama's advantage among Jewish voters, for whom support for Israel is a top issue. Aides say Romney has tapped into some Jews' irritation over the president's seemingly sympathetic statements toward the Palestinians.

But both candidates stressed central Florida early on.

Obama was in Tampa in April, announcing a measure to promote trade with Latin America. Romney was in neighboring St. Petersburg in May, promoting plans to cut federal spending. Both stopped in Orlando last month to visit businesses and appeal for support from Latino voters.

"The reality is it's the most up-for-grabs part of the most up-for-grabs state," B.J. Neidhardt, manager of Orlando Democrat Val Demings' congressional campaign, said of Florida's midsection.
