News Update: Steve Jobs movie starring Kutcher to focus on CEO's early years

The planned biopic starring Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs will cover the Apple co-founder's early years, the film's producer said in an interview.
The independent movie, which has been given the unfortunate working title of "Jobs: Get Inspired," will focus on Jobs' life from 1971 to 2000, Mark Hulme told Neowin glossy publication. The rookie producer said work on the movie's wording note, which is based on widely available information very than a book, began when Jobs announced his retirement last August.
Kutcher was chosen for the role based on this physical resemblance to the late Apple executive during his younger years, Hulme said.
"When Ashton read the script he was immediately attracted to the project," Hulme said. "He is a Steve Jobs and Apple fan, and is technologically experience, as well, so he recognized the historical importance of Steve Jobs and the possibilities of the project."
in addition to Kutcher, the film's producers are trying to cast "some exciting actors" to portray key figures in Jobs' early years (Steve Wozniak, John Scully, Mike Markkula, and Daniel Kottke), although Hulme declined to identify who they might be.
The movie, which was announced on April 1, is scheduled to get going filming in May in Los Angeles, with theatrical release expected in the fourth quarter this year.

Lap Top Review: Apple Mac Book Pro

The good: Incremental updates to the CPU aid  to keep the MacBook Pro line ahead of the  MacBook Air. The trackpad and gesture controls are byfar the best of any current laptop.

The bad: If you do not require an optical drive, the MacBook Air may be a better fit for most, and the Pro still lacks things we'd like to see, like HDMI, Blu-ray, and USB 3.0.

In Summary: A MacBook Pro is a substantial investment, especially when adding in optional upgrades. Cost aside, there is not a better choice (there are, however, some close ties) for an all-around powerhouse that will work in the home, the office, and in between.
