I honestly have no idea. This is an experiment, both to see if I can make an interesting book out of my experiences, and if the idea of writing it in front of the unflinching eye of the Apple watchers is good or not. Thanks for your input! Mike Hi Magnus,

Do I have what it takes? I honestly have no idea. This is an experiment, both to see if I can make an interesting book out of my experiences, and if the idea of writing it in front of the unflinching eye of the Apple watchers is good or not.

Thanks for your input!

To write a book is just like any other job: You've got to do your hours. I have read your first attempts so far, and it is promising, but also worrying. You have written no real lengthy part yet; will you really have the patience and endurance to put an entire book together? Your project is promising and your background material is unique, but remember that a book is not just a collection of sub-paragraphs and anecdotes. It must be bound together and gathered as a whole, not just small pieces scattered around. I look forward to the real first 10000-word chapter! Please take this criticism as a challenge and not as a downer. No one would be happier than me if this would be a (no, THE) great book about Apple, but you have a lot left to prove. with encouraging regards, Magnus Hi Mr Evangelist, promising try

EVerybody knows people get chewed out by Steve from time to time. What I'd really like to know is if Steve chews out his other top execs (oh, say, Jonathan Ive or Jon Rubinstein) the same way he does ordinary employees? “What’s it like to be chewed out by Steve – I’ve got some experience with this.”
