Like Siracusa said, Jobs picked the wrong guy: http://5by5.tv/hypercritical/42 http://5by5.tv/hypercritical/42 http://5by5.tv/hypercritical/43 http://5by5.tv/hypercritical/43 (Edit: I could go on for several pages to point out the books flaws, but this podcast does a good job of it.) Do you really think people dislike the book because it was honest? Most of the criticism you see here is because the book never went much deeper than stating facts (and sometimes the wrong facts). This applies to more than just products. Two non-product examples: We never get any good analysis on how Zen Buddhism affected him apart from his college days. When confronted with how cruel he can be, Steve Jobs just says "that's who I am". No deeper analysis here either (although Ive does try to give an explanation, Jobs isn't asked about that theory).
