I am not now, nor have I ever been, an Apple fangirl. I've had some experience using a few different Apple computers for work, but I never fell in love with any of their products nor felt the need to possess one. By chance an online friend of mine commented about Walter Isaacson's "Steve Jobs" bio...
I came out of this biography glad to have and enjoy my Apple products, but equally glad I never met Steve Jobs. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have liked him if I had. On the other hand, out of such sheer assholery have come some products that I'm very glad to own. Made by a guy who had no compunction ...
The Jobs biography was tons of fun to read. Jobs' life was completely intertwined with a fascinating and exciting period in technology history, and Isaacson did an awesome job of bringing that period of history to life. The narrative felt special both because of the influence Jobs had on society, ...
A well written and entertaining biography of an interesting person. Steve is presenting as a very three dimensional person, who is great at some things and is lacking in others. I imagine that many people will come away with more respect for Jobs and some will be disappointed at his all too human ...
An intense look at an intense man. Part genius, part visionary, part asshole, part something else entirely. This was a hell of a ride that Steve Jobs took in his life time and his influence and ideas will be felt for generations to come. Fantastic read and fantastic look at Jobs and Apple. Highly re...
I am not much into reading biographies, but I took up this book just because I was tired of seeing this unread hardbound copy on my shelf for about 3 years now (thanks to my husband who purchased it & is also a HUGE HUGE fan of Steve Jobs and Apple products!!!). Now that I have read this book I feel...
Having spent time working in the IT industry, and reading previous works by Isaacson, I finished the audio version of Steve Jobs in 48 hours. Isaacson concludes Job's authoritative leadership style was unnecessary to create the transformations he did at Apple. Jobs argues, "Maybe it was unnecessary,...
Interesting book. Steve Jobs had a more diversified background that I thought. He was both genius and arrogant. He did teach us that risk taking and believing in a vision is key to innovation. I also felt that he taught us that you should remember to keep in touch with the needs of the public. ...
I used to listen to a lot of 5by5 podcasts back in the day—Build and Analyze, The Talk Show, Hypercritical, Back to Work. (Funny how Merlin Mann of all people is the only one still doing this gig.) John Siracusa's shows often went over my head (me not being a master programmer and all), but his two-...
