A wasted opportunity to properly interview a great man. There are a few people that you interview with reverence: Woz is one of them.
Personally, I think 'reverence' makes interviews worse, not better.

#62I know this is going to sound petty, but I just think Ashton Kutcher was a bad choice. He is too dumb to play Jobs. I would go for someone with more intellect, perhaps Daniel Day-Lewis, somebody edgey, Peter Fonda, Duston Hoffman, I dunno, it is not that I do not like Kutcher, it just seems like he is too dumb to play Jobs. Is it just me?

#63The woman doing the interview really seems to do a poor job. She seems to let Wozniak get about 80-90% into statements and then speedily talk over him to move onto the next point. It doesn't sound like she's actually listening to his answers, just going down her checklist. At one point he explains why he liked Sorkin's approach better than Kutcher's, then she asked a later question as if he had never said that. It's…
well, if you think this is bad, don't turn on CNBC, or Fox.

Kutcher is actually a smart guy he just got typecasted as an idiot character for most of his career

#65Please don't link directly to auto-playing video pages. At least not until browser vendors get their acts together and indicate which tabs are generating sound. (No, I'm not interested in a long list of excuses as to why that's hard to do.)
The solution I employ is Click2Plugin, native to Chrome and an extension to Firefox (and Safari?). I have it enabled on everything but Youtube.
If it worked in Chrome, that is.

#66I have the understanding that this movie was made in Hollywood, and therefore, Steve Wozniak complaining about the accuracy of the movie is irrelevant. Steve's main point is that the movie doesn't accurately portray Jobs in the early days and that he evolved into the character Ashton Kutcher plays. It's Hollywood, and its different perspectives. I think usually movies are 'based on a true story' not exactly a true st…
"but I do see it as a guy waving his arms screaming to the public "HEY HEY, I AM STILL HERE! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!""
I bet ya dollars to doughnuts that Woz did not contact the media first. His phone probably didnt stop for days with media ringing him up trying to goad something out of him.

#67Every time I see a Woz interview I'm struck by what a genuinely good guy he seems to be.

#68Earlier quoted context omitted.
Maybe popular history will remember him as the Thomas Edison of computers.
I'd be okay with this. So, who is the Nikola Tesla of computers?
Alan Turing? Von Neumann?
The minds from the beginning of the century XX were the best.. even about computing.. invent things from virtually nothing is pretty hard

#69For a better film concerning the same topic, try pirates of silicon valley. Its a bit old, but quite good.
I GOT THE LOOT, STEVE!

It's called "acting". If you can only pretend to be who you actually are, you are not really an "actor".
