The Dow Jones-owned AllThingsD is making available “Steve Jobs at the D: All Things Digital Conference (Video)”, a podcast on iTunes where fans of the late visionary genius can mouse over six episodes and choose to watch any one of them, free of charge.

Jobs’s appearances at D1, D2, D3, D5 and D8 are all there, including the historic face-off with Bill Gates, Microsoft’s founder.

The publication notes that “There's lots of video of the late Steve Jobs, primarily from his famous introductions of Apple products over the years, and his oft-quoted Stanford commencement address.”

“But, by far, the largest trove of video of the legendary innovator candidly answering unrehearsed questions and explaining his views on technology and business comes from his six lengthy appearances at our D: All Things Digital Conference, from 2003 to 2010,” according to the iTunes podcast description.

“As a memorial to a great man, and, in the spirit of sharing a priceless piece of history, we are making all six of these appearances available free, in high quality,” say the people at AllThingsD. “We thank Apple for its cooperation in making these videos available for all.”
