"Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview" will be shown for a week at BlueLight Cinemas starting May 11.
During the making of the 1995 TV series Triumph of the Nerds, Steve Jobs candidly spilled his thoughts on video for an hour -- after which most of the footage was thought to be lost. Recovered only recently in the form of a VHS copy in the director’s garage, the interview was remastered for the big screen. On Friday, it makes its one-week run at BlueLight Cinemas in Cupertino. “Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview” spotlights Bob Cringely’s memorable brain-picking session with the late Apple founder, ten years after he left the company following a fall-out with then-CEO John Sculley. At the time, Jobs was running niche computer company Next, which he would later sell before returning to Apple. In the interview, Jobs foresees technological …

Ashton Kutcher got his sweet treat fix Friday afternoon at Yoppi Yogurt in downtown Palo Alto. The actor looked thin.... perhaps losing weight in preparation for playing Steve Jobs in the upcoming movie, "Jobs." Film production is slated to begin in May. Kutcher was sporting jeans and a plaid blue shirt and sauntered into the frozen yogurt shop at about 2 p.m. with an unidentified woman. "He just had his head down and didn't really look up at me," said Yoppi Yogurt employee Jesse Wiley." "He refused tester cups - just mixed and matched a bit of everything, it was massive, a $10 yogurt." Wiley said it seemed as if Kutcher just wanted to get his yogurt and dash, and as soon as his handler came in and said "Ashton, let's go," that's just …

Apple's late CEO received President's Award at Cupertino Chamber of Commerce's STAR Awards Saturday. Apple's Michael Foulkes choked up watching a tribute video to Jobs before accepting on Jobs' behalf.
Wiping away tears from his eyes as he took the podium, Michael Foulkes, Apple's senior manager for state and local government affairs, accepted an award Saturday on behalf of the late Steve Jobs, reminding the crowd that Jobs hated awards. "I forgot I was going to see a video of Steve, which is always hard to see," Foulkes said. "So, thank you Chamber of Commerce for this award. Steve hated awards, especially awards about him so I'm going to be very quick.” The City of Cupertino’s tribute video to Steve Jobs played just before Foulkes stepped up to accept the 2012 President’s Award from the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce at the Chamber’s 2012 STAR Award banquet. “We all miss him so much here, but, um, he believed that technology was a …

A who's who Silicon Valley crowd packed the Computer History Museum to listen to acclaimed author talk about a friend, boss and icon.
After weeks on tour to promote the biography, Steve Jobs, author Walter Isaacson made it back to Silicon Valley—the place where it all began. "Where's Steve Wozniak?" Isaacson said from the stage as he squinted in search of Jobs' former partner and co-founder of Apple. "I'll just look at him and if he nods, then I'm doing okay." From Jobs' childhood in Mountain View, the creation of the first Apple computer in Los Altos, the growth of the Apple Corporation in Cupertino, and his home and sanctuary in Palo Alto, Isaacson–carefully and with vivid description–weaved together the story, success and misperceptions, about Jobs during the talk at CHM on Dec. 13. Jobs died on Oct. 5 and the book was released Oct. 24. "If people are reading only one…

Thursday, November 17, 2011
By Bill Burnett and Andy Butler The passing of Steve Jobs has generated a moment of introspection in our country that we find fascinating. Many who knew him well have written much deserved tributes to the man, others who had nothing to do with Apple or the tech industry have turned Jobs into a celebrity. We, like others, hold his business acumen and design judgment in high esteem, but this is not another tribute piece. Neither of us ever worked directly for Steve; Bill’ seven years at Apple were during the non-Steve years and Apple has never been a client of our consultancy, so we cannot comment on Mr. Jobs as an individual. But we would like to call attention to the lessons that can be derived from Steve’s leadership of Apple and …

A Stanford student pays tribute to the late Apple CEO, and you can see it on Halloween night outside the Apple store.
The resemblance was so uncanny that Raymond Tsai scared himself the first time he lit up his newly carved Jack-o-Lantern. "It gave me chills," he said of the Steve Jobs who gazed back at him through his iconic rimless glasses. The Stanford medical student spent about six hours painstakingly planning and then carving his pumpkin in a tradition that began six years ago, when he was living on a friend's couch after getting a degree from Harvard. Tsai was caught up figuring out his future when Halloween came around and his friend suggested some pumpkin carving fun. Tsai decided he'd start with a challenge: Steve Irwin. The choice was random at the time, and his friends thought he was downright crazy to attempt something so difficult on a …

A private employee-only memorial service in honor of Steve Jobs held Wednesday at Apple’s headquarters may not have had the media frenzy brought on by his death Oct. 5, but it created heavy car and pedestrian traffic before and after the service. Rock group Coldplay could be heard from the sidewalk on Mariani Avenue playing “Yellow” and “Fix You,” and according to the New York Times, Norah Jones also performed in the packed outdoor interial amphitheater at Apple’s headquarters. Employees filed out of the Infinite Loop building shortly after noon holding ecru-colored memorial programs with “Remembering Steve” on the front. The memorial was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and was broadcast to all Apple buildings for those who were unable to …

From 7:30 a.m. onward, customers waited to purchase the newest iPhone at the University Ave. Apple store.
On Friday morning, a line snaked around the University Ave Apple Store as customers from near and afar waited upwards of an hour to purchase the newest iPhone 4S, which was released today. Apple employees handed them black umbrellas with a white Apple logo as they staked out a spot in the 87 degree heat. The line stretched up Kipling street. Some customers had extra free time to wait, whereas others took time off work to make the latest upgrade. Dan Veenstra of Sacramento stepped away from his Sunnyvale job for a few hours to purchase the phone, which is priced at $199 and up. “I’m the boss, so I can,” he laughed. For him, the biggest draw of the new model is the voice recognition software -- helpful over his long commutes, he said. Almost…
