Watch Kelso From That '70s Show Freak Out About Computers In The First Clip From jOBS

If you, like me, have been lying awake at night wondering whether Ashton Kutcher was going to pull off the role of Steve Jobs in Jobs biopic jOBS, or if he was going to do a bad job because his intense handsomeness and bubbly himbo nature would get in the way, wonder no more.

What Kind of Cancer Did Steve Jobs Have? And Other Questions About His Death

This is a post from our sister site, Blisstree.

Steve Jobs died Wednesday of a rare type of cancer, just weeks after receiving a liver transplant and stepping down from his long-time position as Apple’s CEO after saying that he “could no longer meet [his] duties and expectations as Apple CEO.” But while we’ll likely be learning from his example in business and tech for decades to come, it doesn’t seem like we’ll be learning nearly so much about his cancer or treatment.

Dear Mr. Jobs,

The last time we spoke, I was on the train coming home from school, typing away on my Blackberry to you. It was the end of the week, a Thursday night, and I was very, very nervous.

School had just started a week before, and my first journalism assignment was due: an article about the new iPad program on campus at Long Island University, where I’m a journalism student. It’s a program that lets students buy iPads at a discount for use in the classroom. I wanted to write about how my college’s agreement with your company might impact our academics. More »
