A Steve Jobs Movie could be out pretty soon

It has already been reported that Sony has acquired the rights to Walter Issacson's authorized biography of Steve Jobs and have now decided to do a film on his life. They also have a choice of who they would like to write the movie. Aaron Sorkin is their top choice - he won an Oscar earlier this year for his Facebook flick - The Social Network. He has confirmed that Sony have approached him to wirte the movie and 'It is something I am considering' he has said.


Sorkin also says that the only reseach he is doing at the moment is reading Issacson's book and that as of now, Steve Jobs is more of an inspiration to his 11 year old daughter than him. She plays with all the Tech Gadgets from Apple. As this stage nothing much is known about the movie and who could be the casts. If there is someone who you think should play Steve Jobs let us know in the comments section below.

Steve Jobs' Last Words

Steve Jobs' sister Mona Simpson was by his side during his final moments and she speaks about what she thought he was going through and what his last words were. If you read the whole eulogy you will be touched at the life of Steve Jobs and what everything meant to him. There has been a lot of criticism regarding the way he would treat some employees and there has also been a lot of decoding of Steve Jobs' last words on the web. A lot of what people have to say about his last words is not worth reading and once you know what his last words were I suggest you give it your own interpretation as Steve Jobs's said 'Follow your heart'. You know what's best and right for you. Trust your own intuition.

This is the words taken as it is from the eulogy of Mona Simpson, Steve's sister.

He seemed to be climbing.

But with that will, that work ethic, that strength, there was also sweet Steve’s capacity for wonderment, the artist’s belief in the ideal, the still more beautiful later.

Steve’s final words, hours earlier, were monosyllables, repeated three times.

Before embarking, he’d looked at his sister Patty, then for a long time at his children, then at his life’s partner, Laurene, and then over their shoulders past them.

Steve’s final words were:

OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.

His last words where oh wow, oh wow, oh wow. This is what he uttered and the above description will give your context to see what he really meant. Please use the comments section below to share what you think about it.

Why Steve Jobs' Car Never Had Number Plates

Image Credit: mitula.co.uk

There are many rumors found online that will give you reasons as to why Steve Jobs' car never had number plates. There are many theories and speculations floating around. This however acccording to iTWire is the real reason why his car never had number plates. Steve discovered a loophole in the vehicle laws in the state of California. With the generosity displayed in California owners of new cars had six months time to get their issued number plates affixed to their vehicles. Steve who always wanted to think different and be different did this. He made an arrangement with a leasing company that he would always change cars within the six months of the lease,  exchanging one silver Mercedes SL55 AMG for another identical one. This was discovered after spending an hour with Jon Callas, CTO of Entrust, who in the past worked two stints at Apple in various senior security roles.

This created a win-win-situation for everyone involved. The leasing company always had a luxury car which was previously driven and owned by Steve Jobs. You can only imagine a buyer who sees the car which might have only clocked around 2,000 miles and the seller saying Steve sat in it only this morning.

Video: 3 stories by Steve Jobs

There is a fantastic video on YouTube where Steve Jobs is delivering his commencement speech to the graduates of Stanford University in 2005. He mainly takes about being fired from Apple and all about life and death. In the video Steve tells the audience three stories. The first one is about connecting the dots. Where he says that no matter what happens in life there is always a purpose and it is only after you go through much in your life that you can later look back and connect the dots. There will always be a connection for your benefit. His notable quote during the first story is 'You have to believe in something your gut, destiny, life karma, whatever.  The second one is about love and loss. Steve says he is found love in what he wanted to do but lost when he was kicked out of Apple. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. The third story is about death, 'Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Listening to him will leave you wondering whether you are listening to a modern day mystic or the Chief Executive of a 21st century Tech company.

Video: The Steve Jobs Song, A Must Listen

The Song A day by Mann is getting a lot of good attention and good reviews. This song he did about Steve Jobs has lyrics like.


“If that sounds like Moses, it’s no accident. The cult of Macintosh is a religion.”
“We bow down to products that make us weep. The beauty of simplicity. The shepherd and his sheep.”
“In his guarded temple, there’s a beating drum. And it’s made of glass and of aluminum.”

People are listening to his songs because of one prominent thing, the tunes are really catch and lyrics very apt. You need to listen to know for yourself. His song about the Antenna was also played at the Apple Press Conference held recently to discuss the Antenna problem of the iPhone 4.
