For the first few moments when I first saw the cover of this book at MPH bookstore, I freezed for that few moments. Why did they call the late Steve Jobs a con man?
If iPhone is a phone, iPad is a pad, and other like iTunes, iMail, iMovie, iCloud, with the word behind the 'i' describing the device or the Apps, then is iCON supposed to be a Con something, con job or con man or something?
Quite the opposite as great man, genius , talented are often used to describe Steve Jobs, usually.
Then I realized that I am supposed to read the whole word as it is, icon and not as iCON.
Hell a lot of difference with Cap on and Cap off.
Interestingly, I couldn't help but think of another old joke which goes like this:
When asked to punctuate this sentence below:
A woman without her man is nothing
The men wrote: "A woman, without her man, is nothing"
And the women wrote: "A woman, without her, man is nothing"
Hell a lot of difference with where the 2 commas goes.
Just love this!!!
