Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs in biopic

The first official photo is out of Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs in the biopic, jOBS. Some are worried about Kutcher’s acting ability, however I think he’ll be able to pull it off. It’s definitely a different character than what he’s used to playing, but we’ll know the truth of it once jOBS hits the Sundance Film Festival.

Feeling pretty underwhelmed about the iPhone 5

I know I’m probably going to be in the minority here but truth be told I’m feeling pretty underwhelmed by the iPhone 5.  Even amidst all the glowing reports of Apple’s stock surpassing $700 and a record 2 million phones in the first 24 hours I’m just not feeling the buzz or the love.  I’ve owned a 3G, 3GS, 4, and 4S over the last few years and I’m a big fan generally.  As the ship date of the iPhone 5 approaches I feel very much like I did when the 4S fell short of many’s expectations.

WATCH: Here’s to the Crazy Ones

Steve Job’s narrates the 1997 commercial ”Here’s to the Crazy Ones” that never aired. It’s a great ad by itself, but it’s also a fitting obituary from the man himself. I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple decided to air it now, in fact I think it would be most appropriate.

Makeshift memorial for Steve Jobs

Hundreds are gathering to pay their respects for Steve Jobs outside the Apple store in Union Square in San Francisco. He was living proof of what strong, visionary leadership can do for any business, service, or organization.

Steve Jobs was larger than life

Westboro Church Uses iPhone to Announce Steve Jobs Funeral Protest

UN f****** BELIEVABLE:

The Westboro Baptist Church took to an iPhone when they heard aboutSteve Jobs’ death Wednesday night, sending out a message saying the Apple founder would be going to hell and calling for a protest of his funeral.

“Westboro will picket his funeral. He had a huge platform; gave God no glory and taught sin,” wrote Margie Phelps, daughter of the church’s founder.

The iPhone-wielding Westboro members seemed unable to find any irony in their embrace of the technology of a man they condemn. One church member even suggested that God was using Jobs to help advance the message of Westboro Baptist Church: “God used Steve Jobs to create amazing STUFF for WBC to preach,” wrote Shirley Phelps-Roper.
