She acknowledges that HAL said hello and it scared her (i.e., the film he is referring to is 2001: A Space Odyssey). This computer is designed to look warm and friendly and inviting and he wants it to say hello. He later admits that he needs it to say hello because Hollywood has turned the computer into a monster in their films. She tries to convince him to just leave the hello out of his demo, that no one will realize there is supposed to be a voice program, but he is insistent it happen because this machines success will dictate whether he is a success or a failure. Joanna suggests pushing the demonstration back while they work on the voice feature but Steve says they will always start exactly on time (this will come back to play throughout the film). When she informs him that the fire department will not let them dim the lights for safety reasons, he tells her, If a fire causes a stampede to the unmarked exits, it will have been well worth it for those who survive. She comes over and he tells her to make sure the Exit signs go off during the video presentation so there is total blackness. Steve says that since Andy Hertzfeld is already on stage with him, he obviously wants the other Andy. Steve then calls for Andy Andy Hertzfeld asks which one (since there is Andy Hertzfeld and a female, Andy Cunningham, who is in charge of the launch). He mentions how he wants to sell a million units in three months. Steve is furious but Joanna tells them not to talk loudly about the machine they're introducing to the world being hard to open she points out that Joel Pforzheimer from GQ Magazine is in the nearly empty audience already, having been shadowing Steve for three weeks. Andy tells him that they need special tools to get inside the machines hardware you cant just use a screwdriver. Steve refuses and insists that it must work. Joanna suggests that he just leaves it out of the demo, which is minutes away. Its revealed they're in a performing arts center, about to do a heavily anticipated product launch for Apple shareholders and press. A 28-year-old Steve Jobs (Michael Fassbender), his right-hand woman Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslet), and one of the inventors of the Apple Macintosh, Andy Hertzfeld (Michael Stuhlbarg), are all gathered around a projection screen trying to figure out why the Macintosh computer won't say 'hello'. Clarke explaining how personal computers will be a part of our future.

STEVE JOBS 2015 SYMBIANIZE MAC
The significant people in Jobs' life are also presented, they who are at the three launches, if not in person than in direct spirit to the proceedings: Steve Wozniak, Apple's other co-founder who sees himself more as the nuts and bolts man compared to Jobs being the big picture man, with Wozniak wanting as much of a focus on Apple's successful brand as opposed to Jobs' want to focus purely on his product being launched Joanna Hoffman, his ethnic-Polish head of marketing for each of the three launches, and who acts as much as his mother figure and his moral center John Sculley, Apple's CEO who is more concerned about meeting the wants of the Board and the shareholders than Jobs' Andy Hertzfeld, one of the two Andy's, who is chief engineer for the Mac and who needs to meet Jobs' every whim for the product, even if he feels it cannot be done and Lisa Brennan, who the courts deem to be his biological daughter, a claim which he tried to deny largely to spite Lisa's mother, Chrisann Brennan, whose every action, in Jobs' mind, is for her own best interest as opposed to Lisa's as she claims. The state of his life is presented at three specific times, on the day of preparation for the launch of three different products, each for which he is the lead: in 1984 for the Macintosh computer, it being the first new product for Apple since the debut its most successful product, the Apple II, seven years earlier in 1988 for the NeXT computer, which Jobs outwardly is more concerned about the integrity of the perfect black cube design than its unknown capabilities, but for which he secretly has a specific end goal and in 1998 for the iMac computer. That control often places him at odds with those around him, about which he doesn't care as long as he gets what he wants at the end, including a closed end system for each of his products to maintain his vision rather than users being able to transform his products for their own wants. He always wants to be in control, in large part an outcome of his childhood, where he knows his biological mother willingly gave him up for adoption. Steve Jobs is largely the iconic name and face of Apple Computers, a company he co-founded.
