#7Ashton Kutcher plays Steve Jobs in the new movie and did a crazy amount of research for the role.
He listened to hundreds of Steve's talks, studied art & topics that influenced Jobs, read Jobs' favorite books, obsessed over him for months, ate Jobs' diet, even learned to walk like Jobs (who has an odd gait, likely due to years of walking barefoot).
I got to see a screening of the movie yesterday with subsequent QA by Kutcher. Even though he's humble and doesn't claim to be an expert, it was borderline freaky how well Kutcher seems to understand Jobs. At least, from the point-of-view of someone who wasn't friends or family.
I consider him an expert.
Related: I like when RapGenius branches out from rap. I wonder if it will always be called RapGenius for non-rap content, or if they'll come up with a more general brand name. I think it'd be neat if RapGenius became as broad as Wikipedia.

#8'That seems to dovetail with their goal of annotating the entire internet, a notion that would seem to sit well with Andreesen Horowitz and other Rap Genius investors including Ashton Kutcher and budding venture capitalist Nas.'

He also talked about Jobs extensively on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4GB-2l9_kc. It really looks like he studied everything Jobs had done, as well as he can. His reasons for accepting the role is kind of funny, but I liked that he was being honest about it.
