    It's fascinating how Jobs isn't afraid to pause and wait while he thinks about his answer (07:00, 20:00). He doesn't have that habit most have of babbling to fill dead air. It makes him sound a lot more authentic/less rehearsed.

      The pause is probably rehearsed. I don't think anything Jobs did in public wasn't calculated.

        If this was a presentation, sure, but here he’s answering questions in a room full of journalists, surrounded by other Apple employees with specialised knowledge. It seems likely he really was pondering the right words to answer.
