Then the same can be said of Steve Jobs. People think that if Jobs didnt make iPhone we'd still be stuck on blackberry type phones, which isn't true.
Got a tip for us?

Looking forward to Telltale 'Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine'
Exactly, text based languages existed before C, Windows came from DOS, originally QDOS that Microsof acquired, Windows itself with the GUI, is from Apple by proxy, and of course Alan Kay and Xerox which in turn got ideas for that from Douglas Engelbart. There certainly would be programs, we would not be programming in binary, Unix may not have existed, but it's not entirely an invension of Ritchie but other people at Bell labs as well.
I'm not saying the he doesn't deserve more recognition, but that has nothing to do with Steve Jobs, and is no reason to say things about their contribution that is clearly not true.
I was just about to start my own list of Jobs related media because it's getting ridiculous. I guess his image and personality is just extremely marketable, not unlike Apple's products... and his legacy and image certainly go hand in hand with Apple's brand image, so any hype is probably good for them.
Excuse me, but who are YOU to discard the characterization we've heard from countless employees under Jobs' command?
So....Woz basically called Steve a blatant liar in this snippet.... Yikes. I don't use anything but Apple products, but that's a hard pill to swallow. Not only that, I really try to like the people behind the products I use. Call it OCD, call it what you will, but hearing things like that, like Steve had little to no integrity is ugly. This of course is not the first time I have heard such things.
Right because we would know that from a two minute trailer.
oh my goodness that was only the trailer? I thought it was the whole film. I'm such a dummy!!! Thank you both for clarifying that. I would've never known without your condescending replies <3 xoxo
Do you have a direct link to it? I'm asking because I always find MacRumor's links to be a confusing maze that seemingly always leads back to MacRumors..
Kind of disappointed you need flash to view the trailer on this site. I don't have or use it on my mac.
Reading your post, what are you? Manipulative ("let's not pretend"), insulting ("dick"), and of course it's easy to complain about and to accuse someone who is dead. Do you think you are a better man than Steve Jobs? And do you think you have any redeeming qualities? Feel free to explain yourself.
There is always someone complaining; in this case definitely not "countless", but a handful. And you don't hear the ones who were absolutely fine with him. It seems that as years go by, it's getting worse and worse in some people's mind.
Many people have had worse bosses than Steve Jobs. Since there is no slavery, nobody was forced to work for him. And many, many people working for him have created work that they will be proud of for the rest of their life. That's what other bosses are lacking, the redeeming feature that they led their employees to success. Would you rather have a boss you mistreats you just out of pure stupidity, or someone who forces you to do the best work you are capable of doing?
Well you missed a great era with the Mac Plus and some of the great ones running Classic Mac OS as well as OS X before the iPod.
I certainly prefer the look of this to the Fassbender film.
That said, I have seen Steve Jobs so much in keynotes and interviews, I don't feel the need to see this either.
There isn't really any need to make a film about Steve Jobs. He spoke for himself. I thought he was a great man.

Fantastic.
Eddy afraid people may find it mean-spirited but we actually love Steve. If you take something away from him, that won't be Steve Jobs anymore.
It may be the best movie about him. This one and Pirates.

Whatever you do you will always have critics for free. The same guy who wrote jobs bio did one for Einstein, I haven't read it but has nice reviews.
This is utter conjecture. Let me say right now that I would never have tolerated working for someone like Jobs. He could be erratic and mean but driving a singular vision, especially when you tend to be ahead of your time, is generally not something that happens while being nice. A lot of what people interpret as "nice" is getting along, adopting other people's opinions into your greater framework and compromise.
Jobs clearly did not operate like this. The man is no saint but to think that his attitude wasn't part of how he built what he built is ridiculous. It was very important. Gotta take the good with the bad and generally, after you passing, people who remember you will paint you in the light that best suits them and it's eerily biased.
