Woz Says 'Jobs' No Good

Apple co-founder and tech icon Steve Wozniak doesn't think too highly of the recent biopic made about his former partner Steve Jobs.

Asked to offer a review of the Ashton Kutcher-led film by Gizmodo, Wozniak was cordial while saying it wasn't as good as he'd hoped.

"I saw Jobs tonight. I thought the acting throughout was good," Wozniak wrote. "I was attentive and entertained but not greatly enough to recommend the movie. One friend who is in the movie said he didn't want to watch fiction, so he wasn't interested in seeing it."

The movie-going public appears to agree with him, as "Jobs" has underperformed at the box office so far. It looks like we'll have to wait for the Aaron Sorkin-penned Jobs project to decide if Hollywood can produce a film that is both accurate and entertaining.

A critical mass of young people in the society felt part of something meaningful and were provided the guidance and time to develop their inner potential...

It’s no secret that students, especially those in elementary schools, have trouble sitting at a desk or in front of a screen all day.

It’s natural for children to want to move, jump around, burn off some of their extra, seemingly boundless energy. It’s also apparent that children (and adults) are more distracted than ever. We all need tools to help us focus.  

Movement is good—but researchers are finding that movement coupled with mindful intention, for instance, becoming...
