I just finished this biography and WOW. He was absolutely fascinating. Anyone else read this?
I love my IPOD. I've had it for 2 years now and almost never take it off.

To lead people, walk beside them... As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The next best, the people honor and praise. The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate... When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves!' ~Lao Tzu

Well it's the book, not the "apple" stuff that's important. It's completely enthralling how his life turned out. He was amazing. There aren't a lot of stories out there that make me go "huh!" but this is one of them. I read it in a day and I can't stop remembering stuff that was in it, how he developed personally over his lifetime, his work ethic, the way he felt about the consumer enjoyment and use of his products. Yeah: there was a lot about him that wasn't appealing, but that makes it even more compelling as a story. He wanted everything he stood for to be perfect. He pushed and pushed until it was and he made truly amazing products, ahead of their time and he made them right. I really admire that.
