Um... I was kind of hoping you would suggest a song...

I don't do other people's homework for free.

How about She Blinded Me with Science?

Book reports are easy... why don't you write a song?

 

[Jasonbot]

The classic apple tune, Feel Good Inc.

Otherwise the portal song is good

Ha ha, that's hilarious. Good idea...

If he were in charge, Apple would have been out of business years ago.

This.
He loves Apple and is very creative, but he is not a very good business man. He'd want to charge you $100 for an iMac.

And the problem with that is.....????

 

[appleguy123]

And the problem with that is.....????

That the company would fold in a week?

 

[robotkiller]

Wozniak is a brilliant engineer, but he's not the kind of egomaniacal evil genius that Jobs is. Which is exactly the kind of guy you want in order to take over the world. Woz was instrumental in the birth of Apple, but that company has long since died.

That said, he's a billionaire geek who's loving life and spending his time and money doing exactly what he wants. Sounds good to me.

iWoz - Great Read!

I just finished the book, if anyone has some free time then pick it up, its great

I wholeheartedly disagree. iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It is one of THE worst books ever. I much prefer the bourne books, as they are interesting. I am sorry, you are entitled to your opinion. (but it's wrong...)

 

[fishmoose]

Been thinking about picking it up for quite some time, I'll do it when I have finished the books at home I haven't read yet

Well I found it pretty interesting tbh, might just be as I'm a bit of a Woz fan haha.

Your comparison of iWoz and the Bourne books make zero sense.

It's like saying "this pizza sucks because I like cake more."

I haven't read this whole thread but if it hasn't been mentioned yet, Steve Jobs hated iCon as an unauthorized biography so much that he banned ALL publications from the publisher John Wiley & Sons from all Apple Stores. Just sayin'.

 

[talkingfuture]

If you want a good book about Steve Jobs, 'Inside Steve's Brain' by Leander Kahney is worth a read.
