Apple Fighting Against Musicians To Have Steve Jobs Deposition Made Public
In February 2009, I wrote an article about Eminem’s publishing company taking Universal Music Group to court and the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs was going to testify. Jobs did provide a deposition for that case and now a group of musicians is bringing a class action lawsuit against UMG. These musicians are interested in hearing Jobs’ deposition from back then, but Apple is fighting against making the deposition public claiming that it contains ”highly confidential and proprietary trade secrets.”

Ashton Kutcher To Start Filming Steve Jobs Movie Next Month
Earlier this month we wrote about how Ashton Kutcher would start filming a movie about Steve Jobs. The movie was written by Matt Whiteley and Kutcher would play Jobs. The title of the movie will be called Jobs: Get Inspired. It will cover the life of Jobs between 1971 and 2000. This was about the same time period that the Pirates of Silicon Valley movie focused on. Kutcher was selected because he had a resemblance to a young Steve Jobs. Filming will start next month and they have plans for a Q4 release. Sony Pictures grabbed the movie rights for Steve Jobs’ life based on the biography by Walter Isaacson. That movie is not expected to be released until a year or two from now.

Apple Says They Are Not Working With Philippe Starck
Philippe Starck is a famous French designer that created a design company focusing on inflatable objects. He became art director of the firm along with Pierre Cardin in 1969. Some of his recent projects included an optical mouse for Microsoft, several yachts, and the Virgin Galactic “spaceport” in New Mexico. In an interview with France Info Radio, Starck said that he and Apple “have a big project together that will be out in eight months.” This project would be “revolutionary.” Apple denied that they are working with Starck in a statement to AllThingsD. So what could it be if it is not an Apple iTV?
