Book: "Inside Steve's Brain" explores Jobs' psyche

I guess they'll right a book about anyone and any topic these days. How this must feed Job's ego. "A book about me AND MY BRAIN!" Please, no one buy this. Do the world a favor and pick up an Economist, Foreign Affairs or something instead, okay?

Who's dumber?

Anyway, Kahney seems to be a bit of an Apple hater. To twist the old saying by George Bernard Shaw: If you can't do, become a critic.

"Do the world a favor and pick up an Economist, Foreign Affairs or something instead, okay?"

That will just uplift the already superhuman ego of Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer.

This is the absolute LAST person who should be writing a book on this guy. He's never, to my knowledge, even MET Steve.

BILL GATES could write a better book about how Steve operates than Leander Kenney. The guy has been making money by insulting us (albeit softly) for years. What's next, John Dvorak's "All About Apple?"

"... forging partnerships with industry greats, such as Steve Wozniak, Jonathan Ive, and John Lasseter"

What a load of BS. None of these people were nowhere NEAR "industry great" when Steve met them. Only those partnerships made them great.

Oh, and @ chas_m:

"He's never, to my knowledge, even MET Steve."

That's amazing - you keep tabs on everyone Steve has ever met? Boy, you must know it all.

Just FYI, I have indeed actually met Steve, and in the course of our brief conversation we talked about some of the "apple pundits." Steve's opinion on them was unprintable here, though there were one or two that he actually liked (Steven Levy comes to mind).

This was a few years ago, but at that time the impression I got was that Steve had never met Leander or some of the other "big names" of the day that pontificated about Apple.

Steve Jobs actually hates it when someone writes about him. I bet he's been up late concocting a plan to hamper distribution of this book like he did before with other books.

is actually not a "rip-apart-the-subject-matter" read at all. It's very text book like, showing one how Mr. Jobs' decisions effect Apple/Pixar. It's totally NOT unflattering. I'm not a Jobs fangirl, or an Apple cult member, yet, I'd recommend this book to a business student looking to the future. It's also a pretty easy/quick read.
