Steve Jobs

     The book Steve Jobs is about his whole life leading up to his death.  "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson caught my eye when I saw that it was going to come out pretty soon after his death.  What I have learned before starting the book was about what he wanted when he died and what he did not want.  He did not want people to say "oh what would Steve Jobs do if he was this situation".  He did not want people to try to think what he would of done and just do what they feel is right.  He had always wanted to teach some of the younger developers like Mark Zuckerburg.  He had wanted to look at the TV more because he thought that it needed some work.
     Steve Jobs was the one that wanted the book to be written and he would meet up with the author every once and a while and just talk.  Isaacson did not originally want to do this but he did.  Steve Jobs never wanted to read it.
     Anyway I had started this book and it talked about many things of the beginning of his story and also about how much of a jerk he was.  He was just flat out mean.  He would only do what he wanted to do and I guess it all worked out for the best because if you don't have a mean person nothing is ever going to happen in a company.  I hope to find the time to read this book because I really think that I will enjoy this and it seems great.  On the other hand it is a huge book so I'll get started as soon as I can.
