“I got an early script... and was kind of abhorred by it,” commented Wozniak...

I'm hoping that Woz was incorrectly quoted there somehow :shocked2:

Can't bear Ashton Kutcher so won't be queueing to see what looks like a generic hagiography anyway.

Hollywood have a history of never letting the truth get in the way of a good story...so no surprises with this :rolleyes:

Such is the way of cults.

I always found Steve Jobs was the hero of people who didn't understand jack **** about engineering.

The kind of person who wasted their life at university on some humanities degree but thinks they could design a phone. They find Jobs accessible, he wasn't smart, he was a bully with a vision.

Pirates of Silicon Valley did a better job 14 years ago...

Totally. No offence but beside a couple things here and there and giving small time inventors a chance (like USB and the mouse i've been told), and launchingr the personal computer business, jobs was nothing but a thief and an amazing advertising genius.

USB was invented by a syndicate of big companies, Apple was not one of them. Apple did not invent USB. Apple didn't help with USB adoption, they refused outright to include a standard port on their phones and stuff.

The mouse had already been invented. What Jobs did do was push Dean Hovey to create a low cost mouse, which he did.

There is some vision in bringing this product to mass market, there was vision of running a business which Woz obviously isn't interested in.

But he was never and inventor, nor a visionary. He never invented anything, he had people at best refine existing products.

He was an amazing salesperson.
