When it premiered at the Sund festivalancWhen the film jOBS was introduced, the media reactions were quite contradictory, but no one called the film a real success. The first thing that occurred to us at the time was why the film's authors didn't approach Wozniak himself, who after all experienced everything the film tells about and was one of the two main actors. Steve Wozniak He subsequently responded to the first released scene from the film by saying:
“Totally wrong. The ideas about computers affecting society didn’t come from Jobs. They inspired me at meetings in Homebrew Computer Club, where they were given a lot of space. Steve came back from Oregon and came to the club meeting, but he didn’t start talking about social impact. His idea was to make a $20 motherboard and sell it for $40 to help people in the club who wanted to build their own computers at home, and I would give them away for free. Our relationship was quite different from how it is presented in the movie. I feel embarrassed, but if the movie is funny and engaging, it will be better. Anyone who reads my book iWoz can get a clearer picture.”
Now, The Verge magazine brings Steve Wozniak's reaction to whether the people from the movie jOBS approached him and suggested a collaboration. Steve Wozniak told The Verge as follows:
"I was approached at the beginning of the jOBS project. I read the script until we could chew it and I felt it was a f***ing mess. The people from Sony also contacted me and saidone"We went into it with them." Wozniak then comments on his decision not to cooperate on jOSB with the following words: "The original script contained things like drug promotion, which is as far removed from me as the clip for the movie I saw. It was supposed to be that, for example, Jobs was offering me drugs. I never saw Jobs with drugs and he never offered me any. If we ever discussed drugs, he knew I would never use them, but we hung out with friends who took them, so he could talk openly about them with me. Honestly, we talked about our work and technology matters”
The editorial opinion of the jOBS film after we were able to see a preview of the film and read reviews from foreign media is that the film is more of an entertaining history than a film that presents real facts. jOBS is definitely not for people who have read all the books about Jobs, Wozniak and Apple, saw all of Jobs' presentations and knew everything about him. It needs to be taken with a big open mind and viewed more like a sitcom than as historical facts. Unfortunately, on the other hand, it's good for people to actually take it that way and after they leave the cinema they know that they had fun for two hours, not that they learned something new about Jobs, Applu or Wozniak.

I'll probably ignore this movie, I'm interested in the facts :)
It probably won't be a mini on the legendary Pirates from silicon Walley
Thanks for the article, however.. it's harder and slower to understand for us, especially when we are affected by a certain feeling for the correct use of the Czech language, it's a problem to figure out what it means, for example "s******o".
Based on the number of letters, I would guess "fucking". But there shouldn't be an "s" because it is used when it comes to the movement of the so-called "from the surface down" - for example, wiped off, torn off. As for the so-called "change of state", it is correctly "Z". For example, something was OK and someone messed it up and it's now "broken". The same goes for the "fucked up" one - before it was fine and someone "fucked up" it. So NOT "S".
For the next chastely hinted "svi***o", I would have guessed "crap", but here again one of us didn't do the math. So again I don't know or I missed something. By the way, I really understand the star rating here. Honestly, I don't even remember if I even know any ruder word than "shit" at all..?
I apologize to all outlocite readers, to outlocite writers as well, and let this be a lesson to all of us, that if we want to "chastely" and respectfully omit the full text but still do not refrain from using argot, we should consider it and not overdo it with masking, because then the result is an embarrassing misunderstanding and the necessity of repeating that "fucked up" word several times. And that sucks.
But as I say, otherwise thanks, the article is fine
; o)

RM: I read the script until we could chew through it and I felt it was svi***o. I think it's rubbish, but it didn't make it to the number of letters, i.e. the asterisks are probably only symbolic.
Well, if only it was about the number of stars instead of the omitted letters... The whole article is so sad in terms of grammar, spelling and typos that the author should repeat his attendance at elementary school and before he successfully completes it, he should not try to present anything through his mother tongue, because it's obvious that he never paid even the slightest attention at school... Or he had very bad teachers :)
In any case: if I want to do something, I have to at least know the appropriate craft. Pro Writing means mastering the language I write in. And if I don't know something, I don't force myself with the rest!
