Just finished reading this the other night on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet which I bet has Steve rolling in his grave.
It was an interesting read but I guess I was shocked at how much of an ass Steve Jobs was during his life. I’m not going to give a full summation here but I wanted to mention one thing I found troubling from the book.
Steve Jobs admitted to taking other people’s ideas and making them better, inventing nothing other than innovation yet he was livid over Android saying it was a stolen product. I take issue with that since Mac OS was originally created by Xerox and he just made it better. The Walkman was created by Sony and the iPod was really just a better version of it. I guess when Jobs made something better it was ‘innovation’ while everyone else is just stealing. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so maybe instead of suing everyone and getting pissed off Steve Jobs should have been a bit more humble.
