  He's just a guy with some opinions And not even very good ones at that: http://www.businessinsider.com/ashton-kutcher-fires-back-at-woz-2013-8 http://www.businessinsider.com/ashton-kutcher-fires-back-at-... He actually now has a colorful history of saying and doing douchey things like this. Edit: particularly the douchey thing here was him lying and attacking woz: ("He’s a brilliant man and I respect his work, but he wasn’t available to us as a resource, so his account isn’t going to be our account because we don’t know exactly what it was. We did the best job we could. Nobody really knows what happened in the rooms [...] Woz is being paid by another company to support a different Steve Jobs film."-- an outright lie; woz got back to them, and kutcher et al. didn't like making changes at odds with their preconceived narrative of how Jobs would be presented as the main hero as both a tech guru and frontman).

    >> "an outright lie; woz got back to them, and kutcher et al. didn't like making changes at odds with their preconceived narrative of how Jobs would be presented as the main hero as both a tech guru and frontman" Source for this because unless that's true there's nothing particularly 'douchey' about his comments in the article you linked.

    Funny how he accuses Woz of supposedly being paid to promote some other film, while Kutcher himself was directly hired to star and promote his.

      Isn't his accusation true? I think Woz is an advisor on the other Jobs film that Srokin is working on. That doesn't make Woz a bad guy.

  "He's just a guy with some opinions." You mean someone like Steve Jobs.

    You mean someone like your butcher.

    Yes, but without his opinions being as informed or detailed, and without having built, run and/or sold 3-4 succesful billion dollar companies (Apple, NeXT, Pixar, Apple mkII) and involved in sucessful hundrends of million units selling products.

      Exactly, that was my point. Saying something like "is just a guy with opinions" is rude and who knows what could happen. You made a clear point of it.

  He is just a guy with some opinions and famous name which can make that new product nice advertising among some people. I guess the latter is way more important. I mean, truth be said, we all know it is advertising, so it doesn't really matter how far from being precise these comments of Lenovo representatives are.

  Ashton Kutcher being a user experience designer. Pretty much sums up my thoughts on that field in general.
