It’s official: Aaron Sorkin, the Oscar-winning screenwriter behind The Social Network, A Few Good Men and TV’s The West Wing, has signed on to adapt Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson’s biography on the late Apple co-founder.

Great news. Sorkin is a fantastic writer, and he did a great job with the Facebook story.

Apple updated its “Cards” app for creating and sending physical greeting cards that originally launched in October of last year at the iPhone 4S unveiling. Included in version 1.1 of the iOS app are new letterpress cards for Mother’s Day, which are just in time for the holiday that is celebrated in most countries during April or May (May 13 in the United States this year).

Nice update, but they need a native iPad version. Download Cards from iTunes.

Segall explains that “Steve wanted to put a golden certificate representing the millionth iMac inside the box of one iMac,” and whoever opened the lucky box would receive a refund and be flown to Cupertino for a tour of the Apple campus. Steve seemed rather serious about the idea, too, since he apparently “instructed his internal creative group to design a prototype golden certificate.” Segall says Jobs wanted to meet the winner “in full Willy Wonka garb… complete with top hat and tails.”
