Steve Jobs

This week we review the 2015 biographical drama film Steve Jobs directed by Danny Boyle and written by Aaron Sorkin.

The film covers fourteen years in the life of Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs, specifically ahead of three press conferences he gave during that time: the formal unveiling of the Macintosh 128K on January 24, 1984; the unveiling of the NeXT Computer on October 12, 1988; and the unveiling of the iMac G3 on May 6, 1998.

Jobs is portrayed by Michael Fassbender, with Kate Winslet as Joanna Hoffman, Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak, and Jeff Daniels as John Sculley in supporting roles.

The Scotsman kicks off with a pertinent story about his google maps glitching and being lost - what would you do if your navigation technology stopped working? We try and discuss.

The Scotsman is indifferent to this movie - the Aussie tells us it's whether the subject matter floats your boat or not - and "as far as he is concerned"it could have gone on and on.

We discuss whether being a  'genius ' or a 'world changer' gives you licence to treat people around you badly. Is it acceptable and do you make allowances for world changers?

We compare Jobs to Zuckerberg to Gates to Bezos to Musk - are they all the same. How would you rank their personality on an 'unpleasant person' scale?
