It will never happen because the hero worship that is going to sell this movie would die if people knew the real Steve Jobs. You know the guy that stole other peoples ideas, actively suppressed worker wages, humiliated employees and random people he met, screwed over Steve Jobs, refused his own daughter for years, tore apart people's life work, disrespected other companies intellectual property and then started World War P.

You could fill this thread with war stories from the people that Steve Jobs burned. That's now what's going to sell this movie at this time, give it a few years and someone might be willing to do so, but until the idol worship tempers down it simply wont sell.


Steve Jobs screwed his own daughter for years

Dear dumbass, In one scenario, if future evidence is discovered that exonerates a person who was wrongfully convicted, the innocent person can be removed from their sentence. In the other scenario, there's no takesy-backsies. Can the dumbass figure out which scenario is which?

Stop watching the news media reporting on crime 3 states away and realize that urban violence and murder rates are at historic lows in the cities of America.

Surely, the news of a video driver that "works fine if you don't care about performance or are fine with running hardware that's a few generations old" is the awesome secret magic that the masses have been waiting for.

Instead of misusing words like 'homophobia' and 'hypocrisy', how about you actually explain in essay form, what is homophobic, and what is hypocritical? Correct answers must also explain why someone who is so pissed off at this article appearing on slashdot is so engaged in the comment thread.

Oh really? You sound like someone who reads DailyKos, didn't you get the message about Operation Hilarity?

While I realize that the GOP is adamant in its opposition of funding public education -- despite the long-term ramifications such a policy has toward global competitiveness -- surely, your coloring books depicting Jesus Riding Dinosaurs taught you that when citing primary sources, you should make sure that they support your argument?


So let me get this straight, in your world, the chances of "the one candidate who has a chance against Obama" is such a weak candidate that a small number of Democratic voters in Michigan is able to futz with his ability to secure the GOP nomination? Wow. I knew Republicans were shitting bricks, but I didn't realize that they were shitting so many bricks that they could build a Romney-sized mansion out of them, complete with a Romney car-elevator.

Somehow you've confused Santorum's homophobia -- homophobia that as a Senator, he sought to have inscribed into the letter of the law of the United States; homophobia that as a Presidential candidate, he sought to have executed by the powers of the office -- with a successful, embarrassing-to-said-homophobe re-definition of his surname.

I don't understand your outrage. You should praise the beauty that is the living language we call English.

The second part of your point (respectfully bolded for your genius):

Its only when the US goes fucking up in other countries (which seems to be quite often lately) do we notice, mostly because we have to go in and help clean up your mess.

Contradicts the first part of the point that you thought you were making:

I know many Americans are too arrogant to grasp this, but most of the world's population don't actually know let alone care about most things that happen in the USA.

Given the above,

Regardless of your personal view of how important US politics may be, even on a global scale, Slashdot is meant to be a Tech. news site. Lets keep it that way please.

Regardless of your clear genius, the political direction of the US Congress, Presidency (and judiciary that they put into power) directs the crafting and execution of legislation that applies to geeks. If your head wasn't preoccupied with spelunking the deeper regions of your colon, you'd be aware of such geek-centric topics as net neutrality, copyright, and piracy, and how US policy is deeply intertwined with global policy.

That is, people who view Mormanism as an anti-Christian cult, and thus, distrust Romney. Romney's pledge to "Say whatever it takes to agree with the crowd I am currently speaking in front of" has only fueled this distrust.

That is to say...

His backers were the same ones who pushed Gingrich and Bachmann; trying to make the Republicans attack each other for as long as possible
