Steve Jobs - the book

[Unisaw]

I got this for Christmas and said "Gee thanks so much (WTF????)". I really am enjoying it. About finished and having lived it (I'm old) I connect to the timeline, various players and events. Very well written and yes - he was an asshole but brilliant nonetheless.

what no Steve Jobs the iPhone app?

it's what he would have wanted

Yeah, I read it. Good insight on what goes on in his crazy head and why some of that craziness resulted in some brilliant thinking.

I bought it for an apple crazed friend of mine's birthday. He already had it. Twice. So I said I'll return it to the shop but I haven't done so yet. Should I, as someone who has little affinity with Apple, keep it and read it myself or should I ditch it and get my money back?

[xer0s]

Yes, do that.

If you're interested in technology and the history of Silicone Valley, read it. Also recommend reading Accidental Empires.

Some good insights into his management style and how to manage product development if that's your schtick.
