14 DAY TRIAL // Universal Studios is said to have taken the baton from Sony to create Aaron Sorkin’s portrayal of Steve Jobs in a biopic that appears to be constantly delayed. For the first time ever, all the parties involved in producing the movie seem to have come to terms with the key aspects surrounding the project. In all likelihood, it’s actually getting done this time around.
But for those of you who haven’t followed Apple up close or don’t know the company’s history, the three-scene film showing Jobs (reportedly to be played by Michael Fassbender) before his most important product unveilings may fall on deaf ears.
Especially since the hype surrounding the man's death – and implicitly his life – is fading away like past-generation iPhones getting discontinued and replaced by newer, more potent models.
Watch the guy at work
Unlike with other movies, this is actually a good time to feed your brain some spoilers. And what better way to do that if not by watching the most important moments in Apple’s history and Steve Jobs’ career. EverySteveJobsVideo.com makes this an easy job.
The blog, dedicated entirely to the Apple co-founder and visionary genius, features over 150 videos depicting the key moments in Apple’s evolution – from its humble beginnings in the ‘70s and Jobs’ brilliant rants about the computer enhancing our brains (a “bicycle” for the mind), to the inspiring Stanford speech, and culminating with his last apparitions before he passed away at the hand of a very stubborn pancreatic cancer in late 2011.
There, you’ll also be able to see things like Jobs’ first TV appearance, joint interviews with Arch enemy Bill Gates, not-so-funny moments when Jobs loses his temper, unreleased photos of Jobs’ historic return at Apple in 1997, the man’s funniest bits, compilations of “boom,” “one more thing” and other stuff he used to say regularly, and lots more. An “insanely great” post from the site’s author can also be found there.
A true fan of Jobs' work
Boomer, the guy who created the blog for die-hard Apple fans, is a long-time fan of the Apple boss dating way back to the ‘90s. He hadn’t even learned of Steve Jobs when he made his acquaintance with his products. Which not only included Macs, but also Pixar, the Disney-born division responsible for some of the best animation movies ever made.
“That’s when Pixar blew my mind with Toy Story and I (finally) started to enjoy computers thanks to the ease of use of the Mac – kudos to Martin and Patrick, my roommates of the time, who convinced me to go Mac.”
“Steve’s impact has been tremendous to millions of people and as a token of my appreciation, I decided to create this blog to allow everyone wanting to know more about Steve Jobs to have access to every videos of him, in a simple and easy way,” writes Boomer.
