Do we know if iTunes will carry this movie? (Did Tim say something about hell and it being cold:D?)

Otherwise I guess I can wait for a year until Netflix picks it up.
Personal opinion should not influence iTunes content...period.

It's a sad state of affairs in the movie industry when Paranormal Activity is this movie's top competitor.
I plan on seeing that movie and not the Steve Jobs movie.

The movie was good I really liked it. However, i do find the fact vs fiction part a bit uncomfortable. I saw it with a few friends who have never read the books or followed steve jobs' stories much before this, and they ended up talking about things like "omg i can't believe so many things happened before these events" or "omg i can't believe he actually met his biological father".

I told them those were purely fiction, they are semi true facts condensed into 3 product launches for the sake of the movie.

I feel like they should have made that more clear, and not confuse those who are less familiar with the real story.
