The movie’s major thread is Jobs’s relationship - or lack of one - with his daughter, Lisa, who’s toted into the convention hall by his ex-girlfriend (Katherine Waterston).

On the outside the Mac might smile and say hello, but inside it’s, hands-off. More important is Wozniak’s indignation at the Mac’s closed operating system, which he regards as selfish, even antidemocratic. Neither do the pleas by famed Apple pioneer Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen), who argues unsuccessfully with Jobs to recognize publicly the team that built the Mac’s predecessor, the Apple II. His paternalistic reassurances that Jobs has worth don’t register.
Even more fervent is Apple CEO John Sculley (Jeff Daniels), a father figure who thinks the secret to Jobs’s conscienceless ambition is his inability to make peace with having been adopted. Mac team member Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslet) - whom Sorkin depicts as a kind of executive assistant - tries to temper Jobs’s fury, but no one can impede his drive for absolute control.

The question the movie raises is if Jobs has a human face. It’s the key to differentiating his computer from the soulless-looking machines of IBM and other competitors, portrayed in a new, controversial, 1984-inspired commercial in which look-alike Orwellian slaves are liberated by the arrival of artists, dancers, and other wayward individualists.

Mac software designer Andy Hertzfeld (Michael Stuhlbarg) can’t guarantee the first part of the Mac demo - a smiley face that says “hello” - won’t crash the computer, which prompts Jobs to bully, threaten, and promise to kill him. The first act - which leads to the unveiling of the first Macintosh computer - has all the seeds of the movie’s undoing, but it’s still amazing to watch: so many balls in the air. Steve Jobs could be a study in what’s wrong with a mainstream cinema that venerates celebrity above all and locates the tragedy of American life in the absence of good dads. Shame about that third act, though, and the ending that retroactively diminishes everything that preceded it.
The first act is a thing of beauty and the second, good enough. It’s Aaron Sorkin’s way of turning Steve Jobs into a theatrical tour de force, compressing the exposition in Walter Isaacson’s 2011 biography to the point that it boils - and nearly boils over. The structure is ingenious: three plainly demarcated, 45-minute acts set in 1984, 1988, and 1998, each building to a momentous product launch and a seminal moment in the life of Steve Jobs (Michael Fassbender). I am showing a few pics of the car and the documentation.Photo: Francois Duhamel/Universal Pictures Of course would not turn down a large check or ACH transfer but really more in this for the thrill of trading up a few times to see what happens. Would consider newer vehicles, art, timepieces or other collectibles. The car is very operational, handles well and has many years worth of service records. Thinking to trade the vehicle for something interesting and of greater value. New Stereo with Bavsound Speakers, Shocks, Struts, and Tires with less than 500 miles on them. Comes with Certified DMV history document showing the car was purchased new and owned by Steve and Lorraine Jobs during the time he was not at Apple. Here's the copy as of Thursday morning: 1995 BMW Unique Owner History "trade?" - $11000 (mountain view)ġ995 BMW 325i Convertible. And now we have someone offering what is purportedly Steve Jobs' old BMW, "for something interesting and of greater value."Ī Mountain View based Craigslist user posed the ad for the 1995 convertible four days ago, but based on this screencap caught by CBS5, it's been edited since. (His office at Apple remains untouched, for example.) But instead of collecting gross talismans like bones, Jobs worshippers stick to more prosaic objects, like that set of Jobs' business cards that recently went for $10,500. Since his death in 2011, we've seen a veneration of Steve Jobs that's reminiscent of the attention focused on, say, a European saint.
