Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson

 I always thought that Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were equals. Even the story started in that line and then it took a big departure from there. In his life time he worked with many ‘A’-players to invent amazing products and he had talent to pick smart engineers (and fire bozos). Apple as a company, it seems, was not for everyone. Some of his legacies

  • Apple - II (with Steve Wozniak)
  • Macintosh with GUI
  • Ipod - carry music in pocket
  • iTunes - saved music industry- tied with music industry which is a great feat
  • Apple store - upscale store compared to standard computer peripherals shop
  • iPhone - communication, music and photography all in one place
  • iPad - movie, news and magazine - super successful 
  • iCloud - new place for digital hub, demoting Macintosh
  • Apple - a great company

So many inventions in a single lifetime is simply amazing. And according to author he will be counted among the likes of Edison and Ford.
