Apart from being one of the richest entrepreneurs on the planet, the Silicon Valley billionaire and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison is also known as a long-time friend of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. The two men go a long way back and shared a passion for minimalism, spirituality and unconventional managerial style.
The one notable exception, of course, being Ellison's penchant for spending his fortunes on expensive yachts and houses and indulging himself in otherworldly pleasures.

It seems like the tech world collectively chuckled and rolled its eyes when it found out that Ashton Kutcher—the stoner star from That 70's Show and Hollywood's go-to guy for b-rated romantic comedies—was going to be playing Steve Jobs in a feature film.
But Kutcher has turned more than a few heads with his portrayal of Apple's co-founder in Open Road Films' 'Jobs.' And looking at this clip of his appearance on Jay Leno's Tonight Show from last night, he obviously had tremendous respect for the man...

In what creators call 'Steve Jobs schools,' children 4-12 years old will use iPads in place of textbooks and the role of teacher is turned into a 'learning coach,' according to a German magazine.
