1. Ocean of useless, unrelated items, and key points missimg - This book is really disappointing. I’m an Apple fan, and I’m so well before the iPhone came to light (around the first LCD iMac). I was really eager to know more about the iPhone inception and all the secrets, trials and explored paths. This book is unfortunately a massive letdown and failure. It has a lot of useless, unrelated information, while skipping crucial insights. For example, the book tells you that about five centuries ago, a given mountain in South America was called xyz, or that the author had a driver called x and whose family lived in a town nearby. Seriously? Who cares about this? Readers are interested in the iPhone and how it was created. The author spends a lot of time explaining technologies that go in the iPhone, but that’s not really the topic. If someone asks you what time is it, are you going to tell him the story of how time has been measured since the beginning of time measurement many centuries ago, and all the different technologies/ methods since? Of course not! Is the author spending so much time this way to have a book with a lot of pages to justify the price? Or to show he has a lot of knowledge? Or just because he likes to talk and talk and talk? Whatever the reason, the outcome is hardly bearable. The writing style is quite trivial and not creative or enjoyable. So not only a great part of the content is out of the subject, but the way it is told is mediocre and unappealing. Many crucial parts are missing, such as Apple manufacturing power and tight grip, as well as the contract negotiations with the telecom operators such as at&t. Without these two core foundations, the iPhone could not have never been such a success.

Les glaces sont souvent associées à un savoir-faire complexe qui exige une connaissance technologique. Beaucoup de livres ont été écrits sur le sujet principalement en anglais. Cependant, peu de livres existent en français. J'ai voulu proposer aux glaciers et aux futurs glaciers un regard nouveau sur la technologie des glaces, avec de nouvelles façons de les réaliser sans l'utilisation de stabilisateurs pour un nouvel artisanat.
