Review: Funny or Die's 'iSteve'
We can only hope that the first Steve Jobs biopic out of the gate is also the worst.
FORTUNE -- It's hard to say exactly when the feature film called iSteve -- released Tuesday on Funny or Die's website -- jumps the shark.
It could be the very first scene, when a balding and bearded Steve Jobs (played by Justin Long of the Get a Mac commercials) breaks the fourth wall of MORE

Alan Kay rips into Apple
Reflections at age 72 from the man who gave Apple the graphical user interface.
FORTUNE -- That Apple (AAPL) owes a lot to Alan Kay -- everybody's favorite computing pioneer -- is an understatement.
It was Steve Jobs' visit to Kay's lab at Xerox PARC that led to the Lisa, the Mac and all that followed. Kay's aphorism that "people who are really serious about software should make their own hardware" -- MORE

Apple's newest vice president: Bozo or rising star?
Adobe's Kevin Lynch comes to Apple with deep roots and a lot of baggage
FORTUNE -- The news that Apple (AAPL) has hired Kevin Lynch, formerly Adobe's (ADBE) chief technology officer, to be its new vice president of technology, has sparked something of a civil war among Apple partisans.
Wired's Steve Levy called Lynch a "star."
Daring Fireball's John Gruber called him a "bad hire" and a "bozo."
"Now we find out," tweeted Dave MORE

Today in Tech: Why 'Draw Something 2' will be a social network
Also: Funny or Die makes a Steve Jobs film; EA's CEO resigns.
Zynga looks to revive Draw Something with a sequel that's much more of a social network [TECHCRUNCH]
From what we hear, it sounds like it will be much more of a social platform where players get to keep and show off their drawings instead of having them disappear into the game.
This way the very best artists can accumulate followings inside MORE

Samsung's event marketing makes Apple's hype look tame
Pulling out all the stops for the Galaxy S4 in Radio City Music Hall and Times Square
FORTUNE -- Steve Jobs, the past master of high-tech event marketing, was famous for treating the launch of Apple's (AAPL) new products as if they were Broadway openings, although lately Apple has been moving its events to smaller and smaller venues.
Samsung, famous for flattering Apple by imitation, has taken the Broadway metaphor quite literally. MORE

Warren Buffett: If he were Tim Cook, he'd be buying Apple
"If you could buy dollar bills for 80 cents, it's a very good thing to do."
FORTUNE -- In a three-hour appearance on CNBC's Squawk Box Monday morning, Berkshire Hathaway's (BRKA) Warren Buffett addressed two burning issues in the minds of Apple (AAPL) investors: Apple's depressed stock price and what to do with the $137 billion in cash burning a hole in David Einhorn's pocket.
On the pressure to increase the dividend:
"I don't own MORE

The Apple reality distortion field's fun-house mirror
When did Wall Street and the business press decide that Apple could do nothing right?
FORTUNE -- I don't know for certain who writes The Macalope column for Macworld, but I think he put his finger on something interesting Saturday in A Fundamental Disconect, his round-up of the week's Apple (AAPL) news.
"Apparently," he writes, "some bit has switched somewhere—like a Manchurian candidate being triggered—and everyone is willfully ignoring the state of MORE

What not to expect at Apple's shareholders meeting today
Will Tim Cook say anything newsworthy or material? Don't hold your breath.
FORTUNE -- Given the advance buildup -- a headline-grabbing billionaire, a high-profile proxy fight, a hedge-fund lawsuit, a federal judge's preliminary injunction and those cutesy iPrefs -- Apple's (AAPL) annual shareholders meeting today is likely to disappoint.
For one thing, the proposition that created all the fuss -- a change in the company's articles of incorporation that would have prohibited the issuance MORE

Life, death, calligraphy: The world of Steve Jobs
Sunday, Feb. 24, would have been his 58th birthday
FORTUNE -- As we did when he was still running Apple (AAPL), we'd like to celebrate Steve Jobs' life by re-posting what may be the most personal public speech this intensely private man ever made: His commencement address to the Stanford University class of 2005.
If you haven't seen it — or haven't heard it recently — we give you Steve Jobs on life, MORE
