Movie Review – Steve Jobs

The most quixotic quest in Steve Jobs does not come courtesy of the title character, but of his Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who shows up at each of the three product launches that this film covers over 14 years to request acknowledgement for the team that worked on the Apple II computer, whose contributions Jobs keep insisting are irrelevant...
