"Steve Jobs Biography" Reading notes

Jobs and Wozniak

I have finally finished reading the "Jobs biography" I bought. After the purchase has not looked, did not have the courage to look, because the book is very thick, six hundred or seven hundred pages. Just more and more aware that six hundred or seven hundred pages is very normal. After the test, I decided to finish reading it. The book is very good to read, very easy to blend in, the technology wave wave after wave, let me an upsurge of emotions.

1. It's an exciting time.
In 1976, Jobs and Wozniak created Apple in the garage. Before that, jobs and Wozniak both liked to pound drums and make small inventions. In particular, Wozniak, an engineer in the engineer, joins HP. In order to make something, they can call the production company for goods, jobs can do his own things during the day, to go to work in the evening. Wozniak also made some technical mischief at school. I was also watching "the centennial of Silicon Valley," a book that was really vibrant and encouraging people to create.

2. A paranoid triumph?
Throughout his life, all the times, every aspect, he demanded extremely high. He was constantly asked to add Wozniak's engineering level to Wozniak to have Apple I and Apple II. His paranoid demands led Macintosh to delay and eventually drive himself out of the apple. Returning to Apple is also a paranoid obsession with design requirements, with imac and later ipods, iphones and ipads. Even if he is hospitalized with cancer, he complains that the hospital facilities are not human-friendly.

3. Realistic Distortion Field
Impossible to be possible, this is the reality distortion force field. Although Mr Jobs had some compromises, the overwhelming majority was that he persuaded others. He has a strange temper and is very popular, but also inspires employees to constantly pursue perfection in hardware and software. Yonghao said he lacked a realistic twist of jobs.

4. Walking
Steve Jobs likes to walk. To talk to someone is to go for a walk. I imagined California's sun cans and rain, and the walk was really pleasant. I should also walk more, should not stay in the dorm.

5. Simplicity
This taste can be seen through Apple's products. Keep cutting it, telling users it's not necessary, it's not what you need. With this continuation of the minimalist style, using Apple is a bit of feeling high-end atmosphere. Sometimes, however, we are at the heart of the apple-fucker because of the lack of something and some user experience at some point. Mr Jobs's insistence on minimalist style makes his selection of furniture very strict, which leads to no furniture in his room.

6. Contradictions
People are in contradiction, and Steve Jobs is no exception. Steve Jobs returned to Apple two years ago, not a penny, as a consultant and interim CEO. Why not take the money, but also for the Apple director, because he did not want his beloved thing to sink down like this. However, after he was appointed as the official CEO, he demanded more options and money, and the turmoil of the incident lasted for a long time, and Fortune magazine (or Time magazine) reported on his profiteering.
Steve Jobs was a hot man, and he didn't improve even after he was expelled from Apple. Like to curse. But he also likes to cry. It's very emotional. He has his own parking space at Apple, but he's always occupied with handicapped parking spaces and doesn't understand him. Money, also not on the license plate, afraid of paparazzi tracking.
