Official Biography of Steve Jobs Available for Pre-Order

Cover of "iCon Steve Jobs: The Greatest S...Cover via Amazon
A biography of Steve Jobs, which has been officially authorized by Mr. Jobs personally, has just been made available on Amazon.com for pre-ordering. This book, entitled ‘iSteve: The Book of Jobs’ is available to pre-order for any Apple user from iBookstore as well. Both the retailing sources have coined the date of 6th March 6, 2012 to be the official release date, which is almost around nine months from now. The author of this biography, Walter Isaacson, has a very impressionable portfolio of biographies of many famous personalities in the past. He has penned the biography of public figures like Benjamin Franklin: An American LifeEinstein: His Life and Universe and Kissinger: A Biography.
Amazon.com and iBookStore both described the book, at the product description section, to be accredited by one of the well-experienced authors of our times, Walter Isaacson. It is exclusively mentioned that ‘iSteve: The Book of Jobs,’ has given an extraordinary story of both the professional and personal lives of Jobs, by the hand of Isaacson. It is stated that the information has been “drawn from his three years of exclusive and unprecedented interviews Isaacson” along with his family members, key colleagues from Apple and its competitors too.
The price of the book, for pre-orders only, has been set to $16.50 for the physical copy, and $14.99 for the Kindle or iBooks edition. Steve Jobs has always been admired for his successfulness in protecting his private and personal life from his professional and public life. This is a key factor, that an official biography of such a person would be even more interesting. Many aspects of Steve Jobs’s biography have already been made public due to previously written books including Fire in the Valley and The Little Kingdom. But previously just one book, iCon: Steve Jobs, was an authorized and official copy and this will be the second.

The famed C.E.O. of Apple Inc., Steve Jobs, will be returning from his medical leave as he makes an appearance to give the keynote speech at Apple’s hosted WWDC next week. It was revealed officially by the representatives on Tuesday, as they also added that keynote will specifically include Apple’s new service called "iCloud." It was still left unexplained whether what exactly the iCloud service is referred to, but the rumors have been extremely explicit regarding the negotiation of Apple with all four major recording companies. Hence it is largely suspected that iCloud will be Apple’s cloud based storage service for songs, which will allow the users to keep their library updated on the Apple-run servers rather than their home PCs.
Steve Jobs took a medical leave in January this year due to undisclosed reasons, as the temporary control of the company was handed over to C.E.O. Tim Cook. But even after staying on leave, Jobs still was highly consulted in all major decisions of the company, and he also displayed the new iPad model at a news conference in March. Now Apple’s famous annual Worldwide Developers Conference, WWDC, will start this Monday in San Francisco. The news of Jobs to make a special appearance at the conference from his leave is a clear signal that he is hoping iCloud to be the next record breaking innovation of the company.

White iPhone 4 is Not Only Delayed 10months, But Also 0.2 Millimeters Thick than the Black iPhone 4


White iPhone 4 was just recently launched after a long 10 months delay of its actual date. But it was later discovered after minute examination that White model of iPhone 4 was not only late, but it has also magically grown a little thicker in those 10 months. The actual distinction between the two colors of iPhone 4 is as small as 0.2 millimeters, speaking precisely. This will merely be considered negligible except when it does not fit on the wide range of iPhone cases designed specifically for the device, than it can cause problems.
Ryan Cash was the first person ever to identify the difference and he

then posted a comparative photo shoot of both models on his blog. He did not exactly put up the degree of difference between the thicknesses of two models, but he stated that the difference is very much visible with even the naked eye. This was a very sharp observation, as soon after him, another blog website, the TiPb blog, took the actual measurements. The mystery was then finally solved that the matter was resolved as they concluded that the White iPhone 4 is 0.2 millimeters thicker than the black model of iPhone 4.
