A riveting biography of the groundbreaking innovator who was a giant in the worlds of computing, music, filmmaking, design, smart phones, and more. A finalist for the YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Award
Your time is limited. . . . have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. --Steve Jobs From the start, his path was never predictable. Steve Jobs was given up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of twenty, created Apple in his parents' garage with his friend Steve Wozniack. Then came the core and hallmark of his genius--his exacting moderation for perfection, his counterculture life approach, and his level of taste and style that pushed all boundaries. A devoted husband, father, and Buddhist, he battled cancer for over a decade, became the ultimate CEO, and made the world want every product he touched, from the Macintosh to the iPhone, from iTunes and the iPod to the Macbook. Critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal takes us to the core of this complicated and legendary man while simultaneously exploring the evolution of computers. Framed by Jobs' inspirational Stanford commencement speech and illustrated throughout with black and white photos, this is the story of the man who changed our world.

Nanny vs Mr sinister is
Format: Kindle
A book I wanna read. The fact that he's terrified of the egg lady is hilarious. Also. Spoilers to follow
When Orphan Makers armor was cracked what was the gas that came out?
Poor Havok can't seem to ever catch a break. He keeps getting put into no win situations that have finally started to break him .
Empath, Harpoon(?), and nanny really didn't need to be on the team. Considering Empath was killed almost immediately, nanny was taken out easily and w c was hiding til he got beat by psylock.
The art was better than it has been and the story was enjoyable. Plot holes notwithstanding.
Overall I give it a solid: B
