'Steve Jobs' review: Finally, a great film about Apple's fiery genius | VentureBeat | Media | by Fletcher Babb It’s not easy to make a good movie about Steve Jobs. (Sorry, Ashton Kutcher. You tried.) But, finally, director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin have given us Steve Jobs, a movie that distills Steve’s huge, complicated persona into a tightly wound backstage thriller.

I like how it looks like the Windows Logo reflected in his glasses.

Steve Jobs’ co-workers share fondest memories of Apple co-founder | Cult of Mac It turned out to be an incredibly good lesson and it set the tone for the Mac group. The electric light had been invented and Thomas Edison wanted to have not just a burning bulb, but a beautiful thing. He convinced Tiffany, and artist, to make lamps. Tiffany used glass and chemistry and metallurgy to build art that was very useful to control light.

Bud Tribble is the man!

STEAM's the thing, for sure. Personally, I think Windows 10 is great!

It is a little soon, don't you think?

Amazon gives Apple TV and Google Chromecast the finger | Cult of Mac

Amazon gives Apple TV and Google Chromecast the finger | Cult of Mac The most popular online retailer in the world, Amazon, is using its e-commerce powers to put the hurt on Apple and Google’s streaming devices in order to prop-up the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV stick.

Amazon Prime streaming TV works better than any of the other services I've tried. I don't think it needs propping up at all. In fact, some of the other services should think about using Amazon's content delivery network because it's clearly in a class all it's own. Without the network, H.264 is basically useless for streaming. Unless you like that buffering screen.

I'm using mine on a Google Nexus 7 tablet.

Top iOS ad blocker Crystal lets advertisers pay to bypass restrictions The policy stems from a deal Crystal developer Dean Murphy forged with Adblock Pro creator Eyeo, the Wall Street Journal said.

Users can enable full ad blocking by disabling the "acceptable ads" option.
