“Jobs, this year’s non-comedy Steve Jobs biopic, opened in theaters [Friday],” John-Michael Bond reports for TUAW.
“The film stars Ashton Kutcher and follows Jobs from his humble college days through his rise, fall and eventual return to power at the company he helped found,” Bond reports. “Reviews have been mixed on the film itself, but how do the people who were their at the beginning of Apple see the film?”

Vijith Assar reports for SlashDot, “Daniel Kottke [says], ‘Well, Ashton’s very good. I have no complaints with him at all, no complaints with his portrayal of Jobs. The complaint that people would rightly have about the film is that it portrays Woz as not having the same vision as Steve Jobs, which is really unfair.'”
