Steve Jobs discussion

They are making a ton of money from those apps. Used to be iTunes and now apps. I have to say Apple is very innovative. I just got the new iPad with retina display and 32 mb. I love it!

Yes, this book is a very worthwhile read. Steve Jobs was a very interesting character which adds to the book in a positive way. Yes, there is a lot of tech jargon in it but it's necessary. I didn't find it hard to understand since I'm a tech person myself. To someone who is not techy it is a great learning experience at how he started his company from the beginning which is not too techy and contues to grow. I love this book and it is in my Favorites bookshelf since I gave it 5 starts. I highly recommend this book for everyone techy or non-techy.

The book is very worthwhile. Business books and business bios as a rule are not that memorable as a genre. This book is different and as close to a "great" book as you will find in this genre. It is actually three books. Book 1 has SJ founding and eventually leaving Apple - a well known story. Book 2 has SJ as Next (sp) and Pixar - actually learning how to run a company. Book 3 has SJ coming back to Apple and reinventing the firm. The story in the last part of the book is one of the finest accounts of a business turnaround you will ever read and shows why SJ did and why he could do it - and also why Apple's competitors were poor in responding. It is a very good book.

Tracy, Hope you get a chance to read it. I think you will like it a lot. It's a real page turner.

This is a great book. I normally don't read a lot of books on business history. However, Walter does a great job in introducing SJ to us, and not Apple. As you read through the book, you not only learn about the company, but more about the philosophy behind his actions. You get to know the person, Steve Jobs. Another thing that makes this book remarkable is the very objective approach in which it is written - it does not try to elevate SJ to a demi-god status, instead, keeps him more human than ever before. Don't be surprised if you end up not liking SJ as much as you did looking at his products.

thank you

I enjoyed the Steve Jobs book so I decided to read
iWoz: Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It
which is by Steve Wozniak and that book was absolutely amazing. I am no geek and yet here I was understanding what he wrote about - honest, I felt like I wanted to buy a crystal radio kit and learn to solder like he did when he was a kid. I absolutely LOVED the book - this you gotta read.

Apple has gone straight downhill since Jobs' death.

Apple products used to be simple, intuitive, and easy to use - not anymore. And they have to fix every update with another update days later. That's bad programming and engineering - something that rarely happened under Jobs.
