That said, I shall be saving up for the new Kindle. I need an e-Reader and something I can use while on the subway without dropping it and realizing I broke it.

I like the nook more than the kindle, but if you're worried about dropping it: Nothing beats the good 'ol bound paper that is a book.

If any of you guys are interested in Jobs' life, check out 'Pirates of Silicon Valley', its up on youtube and is a pretty sweet film.

The guy had some serious issues, had a daughter and refused to pay anything despite being a millionaire and weirdly naming the Apple Lisa after her. Even claimed he was sterile so couldn't be the parent -proven bullshit when he had kids later. Eventually let Lisa join the new family. But whatevs people learn and change, he most certainly wasn't the same person that he was originally: not after getting fired from Apple and having Bill Gates to thank for bringing him back.

There would have been no Apple if it weren't for Steve Wozniak.

There's also a sweet interview on Youtube of him and Bill Gates on stage. You can tell they're both really forwards looking minds. And Jobs' facial reactions to Bill's stories are priceless.

Steve Jobs was not a technical wizard, nor was he a computing sorceror, or any electronic/magic hybrid of any sort. What the man WAS, is a master of marketing. He had a vision for getitng people to feel like they NEEDED to get the newest item, despite it being almost exactly the same except 1 or 2 changes, and being 5 times more expensive.

Marketing Genius, not a Technical One.
