steve jobs

I'm sure he was a complete monster to deal with, but I like him. Is it OK to like him? I'm generally 100% anti-asshole IRL, but Jobs gets me a little inspired and I'm embarrassed about it.

don't be

Big part of it may be tied to him saying dropping acid changed his life. I like the ~mystic vibe~ he brought to the tech world. I connect with that. Like 2001 and John Whitney.

This shit, basically:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_Cinema

there are aspects of steve jobs' personality i relate to. mostly the wearing the same outfit everyday. sometimes i feel like that kind of consistency would give me an extraordinary peace of mind, but i am way too vain to do something like that, which would draw attention to myself.

Don't accept the dogma of wearing different shirts.

if there's one thing I learned from steve jobs, it's to follow my fart,

Steve jobs and Andy Kaufman both getting kicked out of transcendental meditation groups for being disruptive
makes me hold out hope that one day David lynch will also.

Saw the movie Jobs yesterday. It's very incompetent. Like that Sylvia Plath biopic with gwyneth paltrow, this movie seemed to consciously avoid dealing with abything interesting about its subject. A real missed opportunity.

Also, people in Singapore seem to be fine with people talking through the entire movie. The theater was packed and nobody even confronted these obnoxious teenagers.

Maybe it was just this specific audience that was so patient.

the more I see the trailers for Jobs, the more it seems like the worst fucking movie ever made

It's close. There was no directorial vision to this thing, it's a highly generic biopic about a guy overcoming obstacles to accomplish blah blah blah. Kutcher does a good impersonation of Steve Jobs' walk though.

This looks hilarious imo

personally, im waiting for markers' review

TWO DAYS

you will have one. it may be short, but you will have one.

where to begin

the ipod scene at the beginning was . . . not good. probably the worst scene in the whole thing?

the thing about there being "no sex in the products" or whatever was a jobs saying, not an ive saying

i don't think markkula was actually pissed when he was kicked off the board or whatever

i somehow doubt that einstein posted was in jobs' house. it was part of the think different campaign though.

didn't the movie suggest woz was on the mac team or something? lol

that's a good one to get wrong

i think some of the stuff re the byte shop was wrong too

they show jobs doing the voiceover for the think different commercial at the end, and he did do that, but that version was never used irl. not that that's an inaccuracy tho

i never got the impression that jobs fucked a bunch of random ppl in college, but who knows

this was quoted at some point

I want to watch iSteve tonight, but maybe the real film is funnier?

actually, just tried to watch that, and it was awful.

is that the funny or die thing? i haven't seen it

Yeah. The idea seems good and maybe the beginning just drags.

markers felt

yah it's my font

if you want real jobs info, read the official bio

then watch the all things d d conference vids and the keynotes

here are some interviews: http://allaboutstevejobs.com/sayings/stevejobsinterviews.php

can that be the title of your opinions blog

'markers felt'

I met Woz once and he is SO NICE

didnt tom cruise already play jobs in that biopic with ben stiller

Every time I think of Woz, I think of him sitting in that casino with a booklet of two-dollar bills that he's perforated himself.

Wozniak Says 'Lot of Things Wrong' With Jobs Movie (video): http://www.bloomberg.com/video/wozniak-says-lot-of-things-wrong-with-jobs-movie-Mm1dnrz8QJuikP6iFdCJmQ.html

Seems a bit weird that they sent the first draft to Dan Kottke and Mike Markkula but didn't talk to Woz until the script was finalised and nothing was going to get changed.

Anyone know if Kottke ever got the stock options he mentions not getting in the Slashdot piece? Was he one of the people Woz gave some of his own options to?

gimme a few minutes and i'll go look something up

is he someone's dad yet?

he's not frank's dad.

lol "is he someone's dad yet?" was supposed to go in the umairh thread!

lol

USPS announces "collectable" stamps for 2015:

http://cdn1.appleinsider.com/14.02.20-Jobs-Stamp.jpg

no comment.....

I though you had to be dead for eight years before they put you on a stamp.

used to be ten i think (one if you were president), which would make sense w/ johnny carson, some story i googled says it's five now which jobs would be at in 2016. wilt chamberlain's been dead for fifteen years.

time to introduce a bill to put him on one of the outdated denominations of currency, like idk the dime

there should be cultural figures on our currency in addition to political figures. not jobs necessary, but people like whitman, ellington, apatow, etc

I agree - let's kill Apatow now and hopefully we can have him on a stamp by 2019

cool it

the world would be a lot better off if people on ilx stopped talking about technology

I dig this stat

this was published on his website yesterday, but i just saw it a little earlier: http://donmelton.com/2014/04/10/memories-of-steve/

Obligatory slo-mo transition scene set to 1970s classic rock staple. Every movie should have one, especially Bible movies.

this dude really isn't so interesting. stop making art about him.

you're definitely a lot more interesting, i'll give you that

anyway

http://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Steve-Jobs-Evolution-Visionary/dp/0385347405/

if only my interesting life were the threshold for art inspiration. there'd be 30 biopics about every being. squirrels with ghost writers, etc.

A rich and revealing account that will change the way we view Jobs, Becoming Steve Jobs shows us how one of the most colorful and compelling figures of our times was able to combine his unchanging, relentless passion with a more mature management style to create one of the most valuable and beloved companies on the planet.

lots of good replies, keep em comin
