    Technical PM is handing out Steve Jobs biographies

    ...as chrismas presents.

    Very grateful, obviously. Anyone read it? Should I bother or should I just leave it on the bookshelf as a monument to geekdom?

      Yes, but I can't think of anyone I dislike enough to give it to them.

          Are you allowed to read it without an iTunes account?

            Shouldn't mock really
            Apple went out of their way to invent a reading device which works without batteries or external power, can be easily shared, uses a common language interface and is so cheap its being given away!

                If you're anything of a geek, I'd imagine it's worth a read regardless if you are a MacBoy.

                  Could be worse. Could be the Little Mix Christmas single.

                    I started it, and then decided that there were significantly more books in this world that I was more interested in reading instead.

                    I'm sure that if you worship at the shrine of Apple, then it makes good reading. One of the main criticisms that I've read in reviews seems to be that there isn't much in there about the wilderness years between leaving Apple and returning. There's stuff about prior to leaving, and all the stuff since the return, but next to nothing about the missing years - which I think could have been an interesting part.
