My total lack of interest in the story of Jobs life is really competing with my Fassbender man-crush here.

If you put your apple hate aside, Jobs is a pretty interesting subject. A genius level designer and marketer who is worshiped on a religious level despite being one of the most deeply flawed and/or worst human beings to be a beloved public figure.
There have been way too much cash grabs about him but the subject matter is deserving of a quality and complex movie.

Isn't jobs the modern day robber baron? Made enormous profits while paying his workers nothing while trying to stifle any possible competition.

Are you in my brain?
Fassbender looks like he kills it, when I first the tv spot I was shocked how convincing it looked. Reviews are saying its pretty fucking good, and Fassbender in fact "kills it".

This was fantastic. Truly. Fassbender is a revelation, and though his does not physically resemble Steve, he nails the persona and commanding, charismatic presence. I was surprised by Rogan who I think did an very good job. I was worried that with Seth it would be too difficult to not see Seth Rogan every time he was on screen, but to my surprised he really showed some acting chops.
That was a fascinating take on Steve's life and I love the way it addresses the question people often ask about what made Steve so special and deserving of praises. I'd definitely recommend this, especially if you enjoyed the Social Network.

It's written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Danny Boyle (28 Days Later, Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting, 127 Hours). I bet it's really good.

It's not a biopic but a work of "art" IE a lot of fiction according to the guy who wrote it. He said he was a painter and anot a photographer.

The end credits of the trailer say "Based on the book by Walter Isaacson". This is what his wiki says regarding his Steve Jobs book.
