The founder of Apple had a lot of strange, unpleasant, useful, repulsive, and other habits. One of them is a specific idea of how to draw the audience's attention to important points in your speeches. Jobs simply overused the sonorous "BOOM!" during live performances.

Boom is such a local clap of thunder, after which you need to stop yawning, start up and start eating through the eyes of the host of the show. Not that such a measure had to be taken too often, on the contrary, Apple's presentations after Steve's return to the leadership of the company usually took place in an atmosphere of excitement and general attention. But why not "boom", thereby emphasizing how innovative is what we are talking about now? The record is held by Jobs' performance at WWDC 2003, the word "boom" was used 37 times. Users of the fan channel EverySteveJobsVideo on YouTube have created a cut from fragments of different "booms" gurus - enough for 4 minutes.

And this is a meticulously compiled list of speeches, where the first number is the number of "booms" uttered by Steve Jobs during these.
