Read and listen

Revisado: 12-17-23

I have not read Dickens since David Copperfield was required in high school, over 50 years ago. I have discovered a great joy with this audiobook. I listen at 1.5 or 1.2 while reading the text from the free Apple Books app. The high level of Dickens’s language is hard for me to follow without also reading the text. The Books app allows me to quickly look up words I think I know, but I’m not sure. Dickens sense of humor is amazing. I do not ever remember laughing out loud while reading David Coppefield. Now I have to go back.

What did you like best about Inside Apple? What did you like least?

I don't trust what he says because he makes claims that I know are untrue. For example, he poo poos Apple's claims of theft by android by claiming Jobs stole from Xerox Parc. Jobs paid to see Xerox's technology, and he used it to make wonderful products that Xerox would never have made. Lanshinsky says the

This is a profound science book

Revisado: 05-12-10

I think it is very hard to write a science book that can be understood without pictures. This book does a very good job. It is always interesting, and frequently funny. Could you devise a test to see if fruit flies can learn? If fruit flies can learn with a head, can they learn without one? Will a headless fruit fly learn faster? These and other important questions are answered in this book. I am not going to spoil the book by revealing the insights that came from the experiments conducted in the highly competitive fly rooms around the world, but trust me.
I will go back and listen to this book again in a couple years.

The problem is there is no music

Revisado: 08-23-06

Here is how you should listen to this book, so that it merits 4 stars. Rip as many Beatles songs as you can, since you cannot buy them on iTunes, and put them on your iPod. Then, after he tells the story of each song, (there may be a list, but I don't have it) play the song, and then go back to the story. Actually, two iPods is more efficient. My wife and I did this on a long drive, with me as sound engineer, and it was great fun. It really is a damn shame that they apparently could not get the rights to the songs discussed to make this a real pleasure. In any case, "A Day in the Life" will never be the same after you hear the story of how it was made. Best Beatles song; best anecdote.
