Computer Nut

Thorough, worthwhile story

Revisado: 11-11-16

I found the timespan and depth of this book to be spot-on and I highly recommend it to other readers. Thanks.

Must better than what I expected

Revisado: 09-12-15

Any additional comments?

The thoroughness of the writer's dig into history was impressive. I learned so much from this book and yearn to determine what else he wrote that comes close to this book in terms of quality and interest.

Simply perfect

Just get it. You won't regret it. The narrator is first-class. The length is appropriate.

Good story. Absolutely horrendous up-down volume!

Revisado: 08-10-15

Any additional comments?

This is an interesting book. It appears that the author himself read the book. His manner of speaking was fine, but he would go from normal speech to a whisper for a while, then raise his voice enough to blow your speakers, then back to a calm whisper. You will burn calories while listening to this audiobook while dialing the volume up and down. Again, good story, but absolutely horrible volume control. Note to editor of the audio: there's this neat invention called "normalization." Check it out and consider using it next time.

Good story. Outsized ego.

Revisado: 07-27-15

Any additional comments?

There were some intriguing details but the author's ego kept getting in the way, like he had a continuous need to beat his chest about how exceptional he is. Whatever. Let's get back to the story. I still recommend it.

What an awesome book

Revisado: 06-18-15

Any additional comments?

I had to break it up a little, like by listening to other smaller titles in between chapters, because it was a constant pounding of new, valuable insight. This is one of those few titles I'm inclined to listen to again. Very good work...

Boring book about boring people in boring company

Revisado: 06-18-15

Any additional comments?

The first five chapters can be skipped once you're clear that Lazaridis was good at fixing toasters and obscure hardware. This book totally glossed over the PlayBook fiasco. This book could have been so much better unless perhaps indeed they were as boring as I fear.

This should be considered the REAL biography

Revisado: 04-14-15

Any additional comments?

I was not impressed by the other, more popular biography. This book hits the ball out of the park. I was especially impressed by the thorough background provided concerning Jobs' competitiveness with Bill Gates. I learned many, many new things in this book that had never been covered before. I've read everything since Jobs' and Sculley's books in the 1980's. Great audiobook!

Very much worthwhile

Revisado: 04-14-15

Any additional comments?

It was amazing to hear about how the author handled situations when he was sure he was correct yet his clients felt strongly otherwise, at least until they... Favorite quote (something like this): "You come into this life having forgotten everything about the afterlife and who you really are just to have to figure it out all over again during this life and during your current circumstances." (Excuse the inexact wording...)
