Am I the only one that noticed the "utmost care" quote is attributed to Gads in the article, but to Kutcher in the headline? Me thinks AppleInsider doesn't proofread anything.
Wow, the IIGS brings back memories. We had a prerelease GS at NetComm (Australia) in an ordinary Apple II case and sworn to secrecy. If anyone passed by they thought I was just working on the Apple II (of course NetComm's secret weapon was our Burroughs ALGOL-based development language for Apple II, SDL).
One day a journalist rang me up and told me Apple had told him to contact me for information on the GS because I was the Australian expert on the machine (wow I didn't know that!). But I told him I would not give out any information until I'd cleared it personally with Apple. So I spoke to my contact at Apple and it was all cleared because the IIGS was being released the next day. After that we got a new one in the nice IIGS box.

People that make their own Star Trek episodes are surely doing it for love, admiration and respect but that doesn't mean the end result isn't crap.
Raise your glasses... a toast to crap! (clink)

Real nerds played games they programmed themselves.
Interesting that the actor they hired to play Woz only knows Woz as some guy on "Dancing with the Stars."
The upmost respect love and understanding doesn't save the movie from being worse than a rotten tomato. Its the writer, director and producers fault.

As for the title, what do you expect them to say? "It was a hatchet job and we really couldn't stand the guy so we did our best to make him look bad"?
So you've seen the film, then.
