It has been a long time since i have written the last post. This time i had came with the different taste.
i have always been attracted towards the new technology and the gadgets. this is why i have been writing in this topics.
Of course the technological trend is always changing. you can learn many things about technology online but they the tendency to follow the latest gossip rather than the fact research..so,the given book may have some significant value for YOU Geeks.
This is a fantastic read about one of the biggest and most innovative
companies of our generation. Not only does it go in to some of the main
reasons why Google have become the Internet giant that they are today
but it also looks at some of the logic that goes in to the business
decisions that Google make. Rather than a “how to” business book this is
more of a high level view behind some of the business thinking that
changed industries that Google are involved in.
The New New Thing by Michael Lewis
A Silicon Valley Story by Michael Lewis (2001). This tale showed how all roads led to Jim Clark, the founder of Silicon Graphics, Netscape and Healtheon. Lewis, the author of Liar’s Poker, swept into Silicon Valley and cozied up to Clark, the brilliant graphics expert who became the most important technology entrepreneur of the 1990s. The tale shows how the boom surrounding the internet turned the geeky Clark into one of the valley’s first billionaires. Clark rewrote the rules of Silicon Valley and capitalism itself. Lewis also chronicled Clark’s creation of Hyperion, a high-tech yacht that was more complex than a 747. Like Kidder, Lewis is a great storyteller who captured the poignant moments of Clark’s life. Clark didn’t set the world on fire with Healtheon, but his protegé, Marc Andreessen, has inherited the mantle of the uber-entrepreneur and investor of Silicon Valley.
How could I write a list of non-fiction books for geeks without including Steve Jobs? This incredibly well timed biography is an insightful (and at 656 pages, rather long) retrospective on the life of the person who was known as one of the smartest and most ruthless leaders in the industry at the time he stepped down from his position as CEO of Apple.

Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
How could I write a list of non-fiction books for geeks without including Steve Jobs? This incredibly well timed biography is an insightful (and at 656 pages, rather long) retrospective on the life of the person who was known as one of the smartest and most ruthless leaders in the industry at the time he stepped down from his position as CEO of Apple.
Apple wasn’t his only gig, however, which is what makes this book a must-read. Jobs was also instrumental in making Pixar the company we know today, and was involved in several other projects, such as the NeXT Computer. Jobs’ successes and failures in technology are informative, but it is the story of his life and the excellent writing of Walter Isaacson that will keep you reading until the book’s final page.
Generation Xbox by Jamie Russell
The most recently released book on this list, Generation Xbox focuses less on console hardware than the title suggests. It’s really a book about how the relationship between the video game industry and Hollywood has evolved over the years. It includes tidbits about the doomed Halo movies and the creation of the Mario Bros. flick that any game fan or movie buff will love to read.
That’s not the only reason why I recommend this book, however. By focusing on the love-hate relationship between gaming and Hollywood, author Jamie Russell is able to tell a story about gaming’s rise (and occasional fall) from the limelight of popular culture. The way these two powerful media industries interact says a lot about the strengths and weaknesses of each.
Hackers by Steve Levy
Heroes of the Computer Revolution by Steven Levy (1984). Levy’s first book coined the term “hacker” and it defined the ethos of the hacker movement as it arose from the counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s. He profiled everyone from Steve Wozniak to Richard Stallman, creator of the free software movement that culminated with Linux. Whether they’ve read the book or not, hackers still hold to the same set of ethics that Levy chronicled decades ago. Even Mark Zuckerberg, who wrote a letter dubbed “The Hacker Way” in Facebook’s initial public offering papers, professes to follow the same set of rules, starting with an open approach to technology. Levy published a 25th anniversary edition of the book and recently talked about it at the Defcon conference in 2011.
