A riveting biography of the groundbreaking innovator who was a giant in the worlds of computing, music, filmmaking, design, smart phones, and more. A finalist for the YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Award

Your time is limited. . . . have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. --Steve Jobs

From the start, his path was never predictable. Steve Jobs was given up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of twenty, created Apple in his parents' garage with his friend Steve Wozniack.

Then came the core and hallmark of his genius--his exacting moderation for perfection, his counterculture life approach, and his level of taste and style that pushed all boundaries. A devoted husband, father, and Buddhist, he battled cancer for over a decade, became the ultimate CEO, and made the world want every product he touched, from the Macintosh to the iPhone, from iTunes and the iPod to the Macbook.

Critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal takes us to the core of this complicated and legendary man while simultaneously exploring the evolution of computers. Framed by Jobs' inspirational Stanford commencement speech and illustrated throughout with black and white photos, this is the story of the man who changed our world.

Something is different
Size: 0.42 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
Product seems okay, but something has changed about it. Perhaps a different ingredient. Something different about the smell and texture. Still smells good, not greesy, and absorbs into skin like the past products I have purchased, but definitely something has changed.

Sweet Strawberry, Vanilla, Amber, Musk
Scent: 555 Strawberry + Aire, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: 555 Strawberry + Aire, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a really light, airy scent. The berry stands out, but it’s a soft, sweet strawberry. Even though it’s sweet, it still smells fresh and clean. On my skin, I definitely get the musk, vanilla, and amber, but then there’s this light, fluffy, sugary strawberry cloud that floats over the top, and that’s what I notice the most. It reminds me a bit of Burberry Her, just a little lighter. Since this is a hair and body mist, it’s not as strong or long-lasting as a perfume, but for a mist, it performs well. I get about 2 hours on clothing and a bit more in my hair. I also really like this as a final layer when I’m layering fragrances. It’s especially nice in my hair. One thing to keep in mind is the size. The 1 oz (30mL) bottles are pretty small. They’re great if you just want to try the scent or keep something in your bag, but not ideal if you plan to use it a lot. If you enjoy Burberry Her or even EOS Strawberry Dream, I think you’ll really like this.
