I never knew what he looked like. Has co-created apple but Jobs has taken all the limelight. He is much like Paul Allen prefering to keep aloof. <BR/><BR/>It looks like a good read. I agree wih his thoughts on education. Hope our teachers, policymakers who work on education read his book. Education in India sucks. Despite being an eco student whatever I know about eco is after college. No one makes you think in Indian colleges. Read this, mug this and vomit it in exams.

Its funny how I had this dicussion with a colleague of mine regarding the same! <BR/>There's another commodity which is an underdog here - 'guts' and 'following your dreams' - cliched but thats the octane that drives such vehicles towards glory! <BR/>P.S: Damn, don't refer to me as Paranoid!@purVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593099531722801944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302624505918394313.post-6732953670181403542007-09-23T03:37:00.000-07:002007-09-23T03:37:00.000-07:00Certainly both the 'Steves' have been continously ...Certainly both the 'Steves' have been continously doing gr8 work, there is no doubt about that. I've been impressed by both these guys, bt wht 'iWoz' said is right. We should all start questioning things and not really accept wht is just told to us. I don't know whether we'll have such engineers again or not, but we can have it. <BR/><BR/>He's just one among us, and i suppose we can do it as wel, just that we'v gotta start thinking at his frequency, and i believe that nothing impossible, so lets just do some learning from his words and thots...<BR/><BR/>I've always told ppl to just think beyond wht's being told or wht they see...don't know how many of us have been doing it,even i myself fail to do it most of the times.. the fast world i suppose is certainly one of the reasons for the same.. 1970's when Mr. iWoz created Apple I and Apple II, i m sure he had that much of time, to sit and do research and think beyond the normal frequencies. <BR/><BR/>But paranoid, do you think we have that much time today? I suppose this is the real issue, we just can't have such engineers anymore (atleast not from india)..we get into something, and 6 mths down the line, we want to do something else, and wanna do something different... well which is unlike you,,,u mite just be another kinda Mini iWoz..Rendezvoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05242401835923407018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302624505918394313.post-15206711345457970682007-09-23T03:35:00.000-07:002007-09-23T03:35:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rendezvoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05242401835923407018noreply@blogger.com
