October, while UK cinema goers will be able to catch the new Steve Jobs film from 1. November. However, we were lucky enough to see the movie at a screening in early October, and we have included our review of the Steve Jobs movie in this article. We were very excited about the new movie but our enthusiasm was dampened somewhat when we discovered that it is  an inaccurate portrayal of events and we are sticklers for the true story. We also feel that Jobs is portrayed in full jerk mode which isnt exactly an inaccurate portrayal, but his successes arent highlighted in the film to balance out the negativity so we feel that an injustice has been done. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it the new movie is headded in the same direction as the 2. Jobs movie staring Aston Kutcher, which met with a lukewarm reception its IMDb rating is currently a paltry 5.

Macworld UKs review of the Steve Jobs film. Its not that Im such a fan of Apple that I dont want to know about the nasty side of Jobs. I had first hand experience of what the man was like I was once pushed out of the way by him when he wanted to show Alicia Keys how to use i. Tunes. Also, knowing people who have worked at Apple over the years, I am well aware of the fear and panic that being caught in a lift with him or elevator if you are in the US would cause. Im well aware that Jobs wasnt known for his soft side. And yet we all know that the man had many achievements. That he lead a revolution that has got us to where we are today. Sure he used other peoples expertise to recognize his dreams, but dream them he did. He led the orchestra that created the products that he is famed for. With all this in mind, I was disappointed in the Steve Jobs movie. Partly because as an Apple expert I watched the film in dismay as events were pulled out of context and people appeared in locations and at times where they simply wouldnt have been around. I cant help but think that in his desire to avoid the chronological retelling or Steve Jobs story, a traditional childhood to death epic, in favour of three acts which would be better suited to a theatrical production Aaron Sorkin constrained himself too much. The only way he could tell the story was to pull events from all corners of Jobs life and present them as if they had happened in the 3. Hence we have Steve Jobs portrayed by Michael Fassbender washing his feet in a toilet minutes before going on stage to announce the Macintosh. Sure, Jobs was known to have done this, but not at this stage in his story Apparently Sorkin had read the Walter Isaacson biography but he had no trouble deciding to shuffle around events its a wonder he didnt have him getting high before the launch of the Ne. Xt computer of something. There are so many examples of events being taken out of context that I could practically repeat the whole plot of the movie in this article, but I wont do that, just in case you actually want to watch it. Another constraint of Sorkins model for presenting Steve Jobs story is to have him interacting with the same six people at each of these 3. As if in the run up to a keynote presentation Jobs would be spending his time speaking to various people from his past. Even if you suspend disbelief at the fact that he is talking to people at the time one would imagine he would be tearing around backstage shouting at people to get things working, or running through the script, the fact that some of the people are even there at those moments in time is factually incorrect. Take Jobs and the other co founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak, played by Seth Rogan. Woz is there at the launch of the Mac in 1. Steve Jobs goes on stage to talk Ne. XT computers during the wilderness years, and even more randomly since in real life he no longer is working at Apple at this time Woz is there at the launch of the i. Mac in 1. 99. 7. And you know whats the most annoying thing about this at each of these events, like a broken record Woz is asking Jobs to mention the Apple II team. Not only does this make him sound like a bit of an idiot, its such a shame for Woz to be presented in this light given that he actually worked as a consultant on the film he was paid considerably for his efforts. Its almost as if nobody listened to a word he said other than some comment he must have made about the Apple II. Another face that just keeps on popping up when he wouldnt have been around is former and somewhat disgraced Apple CEO John Sculley played by Jeff Daniels. There he is at the Mac, Ne. XT and the i. Mac launch. Clearly he didnt have anything better to do than stalk Jobs, the man he got fired. The reoccurrence of key characters throughout the plot, despite them not actually working at Apple also applies to a key character, Joanna Hoffman played by Kate Winslet, who was at Jobs side before each of these keynotes. If you are aware of the actual story, she had left Apple long Jobs returned to launch the i. Mac. Just as an aside, I couldnt help but think she actually looked younger by the end of the movie. One particularly strange choice for a key character, I thought, was the focus on Andy Hertzfeld. Known as the father of the Mac Hertzfeld was a character that I felt had a bigger part in the story as told by Sorkin than he warranted, perhaps because he, like Woz, had met with Sorkin and spilled the beans. He was even credited with giving money to the father of Jobs daughter the one Jobs denied paternity of. Im really not sure of the accuracy of this. Jobs ex partner Chrisaan Brennan and his daughter Lisa had a key part in Sorkins story that they never had in the Walter Isaacson biography. With a frantic and unstable Chrisaan appearing before the first two Jobs om stage appearances, to beg him for money. But the real tale being told is about Jobs relationship with his daughter Lisa. With much made of the fact that he  initially refused to accept her as his own despite a positive paternity test. Lisa had chosen not to speak to Isaacson when he was researching her fathers biography because she wasnt comfortable talking about Jobs while he was still alive, but once Sorkin was able to speak to her it really changed the theme of the movie. Its a shame really that Sorkin was so intent on restricting himself to the three scene format, because perhaps this was a story to be told that was worth listening to. How Jobs accepted Lisa as his own, and how Lisa actually ended up living with Jobs and his new family. But this is only hinted at during the film as it leaps from year to year and decade to decade. The Great Smartphone War Apple vs. Samsung. On August 4, 2. Seoul, a small group of executives from Apple Inc. The showdown had been brewing since spring, when Samsung launched the Galaxy S, a new entry into the smartphone market. Apple had snagged one early overseas and gave it to the i. Phone team at its Cupertino, California, headquarters. The designers studied it with growing disbelief. The Galaxy S, they thought, was pure piracy. The overall appearance of the phone, the screen, the icons, even the box looked the same as the i. Phones. Patented features such as rubber banding, in which a screen image bounces slightly when a user tries to scroll past the bottom, were identical. Same with pinch to zoom, which allows users to manipulate image size by pinching the thumb and forefinger together on the screen. And on and on. Steve Jobs, Apples mercurial chief executive, was furious. His teams had toiled for years creating a breakthrough phone, and now, Jobs fumed, a competitoran Apple supplier no lesshad stolen the design and many features. Jobs and Tim Cook, his chief operating officer, had spoken with Samsung president Jay Y. Lee in July to express their concern about the similarities of the two phones but received no satisfactory response. After weeks of delicate dancing, of smiling requests and impatient urgings, Jobs decided to take the gloves off. Hence the meeting in Seoul. The Apple executives were escorted to a conference room high in the Samsung Electronics Building, where they were greeted by about half a dozen Korean engineers and lawyers. Dr. Seungho Ahn, a Samsung vice president, was in charge, according to court records and people who attended the meeting. After some pleasantries, Chip Lutton, then Apples associate general counsel for intellectual property, took the floor and put up a Power. Point slide with the title Samsungs Use of Apple Patents in Smartphones. Then he went into some of the similarities he considered especially outrageous, but the Samsung executives showed no reaction. So Lutton decided to be blunt. Galaxy copied the i. Phone, he said. What do you mean, copied Ahn replied. Exactly what I said, Lutton insisted. You copied the i. Phone. The similarities are completely beyond the possibility of coincidence. Ahn would have none of it. How dare you say that, he snapped. How dare you accuse us of that He paused, then said, Weve been building cell phones forever. We have our own patents, and Apple is probably violating some of those. The message was clear. If Apple executives pursued a claim against Samsung for stealing the i. Phone, Samsung would come right back at them with a theft claim of its own. The battle lines were drawn. In the months and years that followed, Apple and Samsung would clash on a scale almost unprecedented in the business world, costing the two companies more than a billion dollars and engendering millions of pages of legal papers, multiple verdicts and rulings, and more hearings. But that may have been Samsungs intent all along. According to various court records and people who have worked with Samsung, ignoring competitors patents is not uncommon for the Korean company. And once its caught it launches into the same sort of tactics used in the Apple case countersue, delay, lose, delay, appeal, and then, when defeat is approaching, settle. They never met a patent they didnt think they might like to use, no matter who it belongs to, says Sam Baxter, a patent lawyer who once handled a case for Samsung. I represented the Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson, and they couldnt lie if their lives depended on it, and I represented Samsung and they couldnt tell the truth if their lives depended on it. Samsung executives say that the pattern of suit countersuit criticized by some outsiders misrepresents the reality of the companys approach to patent issues. Because it is one of the largest patent holders in the world, the company often finds others in the technology industry have taken its intellectual property, but it chooses not to file lawsuits to challenge those actions. However, once Samsung itself is sued, the executives say, it will use countersuits as part of a defense strategy. With the Apple litigation, the fight isnt overopening statements for the most recent patent lawsuit, which asserts that 2. Samsung products ripped off Apple, were heard in the U. S. District Court in San Jose, California, on April 1. Watch Online Free The Animation Show there. While both sides have grown weary of the litigation, court ordered settlement talks have failed. The most recent attempt took place in February, but the two sides soon reported to the court that they could not resolve the dispute on their own. No matter the financial outcome, Apple may well emerge from the legal wrangling as the loser. Two juries have found that Samsung did indeed plot to steal the i. Phones appearance and technology, which is why a California jury, in 2. Apple more than a billion dollars in damages from Samsung reduced to 8. But, as the litigation drags on, Samsung has grabbed an increasing share of the market currently 3. Apples 1. 5. 6 percent, not only by pumping out Apple ish, only cheaper technology but by creating its own innovative features and products. Samsung transitioned to a higher level of competition than they were at at that time, and I think part of that was a result of them having to fight this battle with Apple, a former senior Apple executive says. It was really just another page from the Samsung playbook, used many times before When another company introduces a breakthrough technology, muscle in with less expensive versions of the same product. And the strategy had worked, helping the Samsung Group to grow from almost nothing into an international behemoth. Patents Pending. Samsung was founded in 1. Lee Byung chull, a college dropout and the son of a wealthy Korean landowning family. When Lee was 2. 6, he used his inheritance to open a rice mill, but the business soon failed. So it was on to a new endeavor, a small fish and produce exporting concern that Lee named Samsung Korean for three stars. Over the years that followed, Lee expanded into brewing and then, starting in 1. For years, there was nothing in this conglomerate even to hint that Samsung would enter the consumer electronics business. Then, in 1. 96. 9, it formed Samsung Sanyo Electronics, which a year later began manufacturing black and white televisionsan outdated product chosen partly because the company didnt have the technology to make color sets. By the early 1. 99. Japan had pushed that nations businesses, such as Sony, to the forefront of the technology world for those even aware of it, Samsung had the reputation for churning out inferior products and cheap knockoffs. Still, some Samsung executives saw a path for boosting profits by boldly and illegally fixing prices with competitors in some of their top businesses. The first products known to have been the focus of one of Samsungs major price fixing conspiracies were cathode ray tubes C. R. T. s, which were once the technological standard for televisions and computer monitors. According to investigators in the U. S. and Europe, the scheme was quite structured competitors secretly got together in what they called Glass Meetings at hotels and resorts around the worldin South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, and at least eight other countries. Some of the meetings involved the most senior executives, while others were for lower level operational managers. The executives sometimes held what they called Green Meetings, characterized by rounds of golf, during which the co conspirators agreed to raise prices and cut production to receive higher profits than would have been possible had they actually competed with one another. The scheme was eventually exposed, and over the course of 2. Samsung was fined 3. U. S., 2. 1. 5 million in South Korea, and 1. European Commission. The success of the C.
