This is was definitely the longest book I read this year, with almost 1000 pages, but I got through it pretty quickly when I was in San Francisco visiting my girlfriend at her work in the bay area. I saw this book on her roommate’s shelf and I was interested because I kind of admired Steve Jobs for his great creation that is Apple and their products, although I still have some critics to his work, especially after watching the movie. I had an Iphone 4 once, that I bought in Chicago, it lasted for 2 years then it stopped working, so I was a little upset with Apple for some time, but then I got an iPad and a MacBook because I needed to get familiar with Apple for professional matters. They didn’t last long too, but still I wanted the latest iPad to work with mobility, so I got the iPad 5 at the Apple Store in San Francisco and I am writing on it right now. The fact is, when I got this iPad I was happy with Apple and that motivated me to read Steve Job’s bio. Although their products become obsolete so quick, and despite Jobs being considered a not very charismatic leader, I still admire them. Steve Jobs created a trend. Apple is pure fashion. It is not better then Microsoft at all. Honestly, in technical terms, Apple is a B-type product compared to their competitors. But still, everyone loves it. Probably because of the designs, and because of the culture created around it. Anyway, Apple is here to stay forever, and Jobs will be always remembered as a genius.
