Two books on Apple and Google: ‘Dogfight’ by Fred Vogelstein; ‘Jony Ive’ by Leander Kahney

Steve Jobs was many things: visionary, showman, iconoclast, hippie, bully, mentor. It turns out he was also naive.

As Fred Vogelstein writes in “Dogfight,” his illuminating, fast-paced book on the war between Apple and Google, Apple engineers knew that Google was working on its Android phone software as they were preparing to release the iPhone in 2007. But Jobs wasn’t worried. The companies were partners, even friends. Jobs was a mentor to Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Google chief executive Eric Schmidt was an Apple board member, even appearing onstage when Jobs introduced the iPhone. These Google guys would never betray Jobs.

But of course they did.

When Google entered the mobile-phone business, Brin and Page knew the stakes. “It’s hard to imagine a more revolutionary object than the object the two companies started fighting over: the smartphone,” Vogelstein aptly writes. “The smartphone has fundamentally changed the way humans get and process information, and that is changing the world in ways that are almost too large to imagine.”

Apple vs. Google is a battle over who controls the new way information — music, video, words, pictures, data — flows through the world. That Google opened up a lemonade stand right next to his own enraged Jobs, and it led Apple to sue Google’s hardware partners around the world. It eventually led to a tablet battle that in the coming years will almost certainly lead to a TV battle. “What this means is that Apple versus Google isn’t just a run-of-the-mill spat between two rich companies,” Vogelstein writes. “It is the defining business battle of a generation.”

If that strikes you as hyperbole or silly words about silly gadgets, the next time you have dinner with your spouse at Applebee’s, look up from your smartphone and gaze around: You’re probably not the only one scrolling on a gadget when you should be, you know, talking. These tiny screens dominate our lives. We are entertained by them. Our children learn with them in school. Our doctors diagnose us with them. They disrupt industries — television, newspapers, book publishing, Ma Bell, who knows what’s next. Surveys have shown that not a small percentage of Americans would give up sex for a week before giving up their smartphones.


Vogelstein, a contributing editor at Wired, does a solid job introducing us to the foot soldiers in the information war — the non-household names who engineer the devices and software we can’t quite put down. Jobs, it turns out, was more a master editor of other people’s ideas than strictly an idea generator of his own, terrain that Walter Isaacson previously explored in his brilliant Jobs biography. “Jobs had to be talked into building a phone,” Vogelstein writes.

Perhaps the most riveting part of Vogelstein’s book is his re-creation of the days leading up to Jobs’s now-famous introduction of the iPhone. What nobody knew as Jobs showed off the device onstage is that it barely worked. It was riddled with bugs, and there was only a faint chance it could actually complete a call. Engineers gave Jobs a “golden path” of tasks to perform for his show, ordering the functions so the phone wouldn’t crash. They sat in the audience taking shots of scotch after each successful part of the demo. By the end, the flask was empty. The iPhone worked. It was, as so many said afterward, magical.

Vogelstein seems to think Google’s smartphone and tablet strategy — mostly giving away its software to manufacturers to put on their devices — is beating Apple’s grand ambition, which is to control everything, from the glass to the icons. He notes that Google’s Android software dominates the smartphone market and is running neck-and-neck in tablets. Those stats are true but miss more important data points.

For one, Apple has never cared much about market share. It does care about profits, and it controls more than half of smartphone profits around the world, though Samsung is closing in. Also, it’s not just how many devices Apple sells but what people do with them. And that’s a lot. Industry statistics show that Apple’s operating system crushes Android in the United States when it comes to mobile Web traffic — the very bits of information Google and Apple are brawling over. The more data that flow through Apple’s devices, the more entrenched those devices become in people’s lives. And Apple sells more. It’s the circle of digital life. Already Apple is slowly easing users away from Google’s services. Apple’s Siri voice search is now powered by Microsoft’s Bing. Google Maps no longer comes preinstalled on the iPhone.

Bavaria Ends Funding for Scholarly Edition of 'Mein Kampf'

BERLIN—Bavaria's regional government has ended its funding for a controversial book release: a new, annotated edition of Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf," which hasn't been published in Germany since World War II.

The wealthy South German state of Bavaria—which holds the copyright until 2015—had been planning to co-publish an edition of the book with historians' notes highlighting the flaws and falsehoods in Hitler's arguments, in an effort to get ahead of other potential editions that might be released once the copyright expires. But this week, Bavaria decided the plan to publish Hitler's manifesto in Germany for the first time since 1945 sends a wrong signal, at a time when German authorities are trying to outlaw the extreme-right National Democratic Party of Germany, or NPD.

"I can't file a request to ban the NPD [at the constitutional court] in Karlsruhe and then associate our Bavarian coat of arms with the distribution of 'Mein Kampf'. That's bad," Bavarian Prime Minister Horst Seehofer told the state legislature this week.

Bavaria and Germany's other federal states are seeking to ban the NPD at the country's highest court, arguing that the party is "spiritually related" to the Nazis and seeks to subvert democracy. The NPD denies the charge.

The effort to ban the NPD comes amid renewed national soul-searching about the persistence of extreme-right ideology on the fringes of German politics. The debate was spurred in part by a criminal investigation and parliamentary inquiry into a spree of murders of immigrants by neo-Nazis, which police failed to solve for many years.

In an about-turn, the Bavarian science and education ministry this week announced it will pull out of the project to publish a critical edition of Hitler's book, citing respect for the feelings of victims of the Holocaust and their families.

Historians argue that a critical, annotated edition of Mein Kampf is essential to countering many of the falsehoods and anti-Semitic claims that Hitler makes in the book. Supporters of the planned publication say Bavarian officials' fears that the book's re-release will incite hatred today are overdone.

The planned two-volume edition, heavy with academic annotations, is unlikely to appeal to far-right activists today, said Richard Evans, historian at Cambridge University.

Mein Kampf is also "very boring" to read and unsuited for rabble-rousing in today's Germany, Prof. Evans said.

In 2012, Bavaria pledged €500,000 ($687,546) in public funding for the Munich-based Institute for Contemporary History, of IfZ, to produce a critical, annotated version of "Mein Kampf" for publication in 2015 when the copyright expires.

Bavarian finance minister Markus Söder said at the time that the publication would aim to "demystify" Hilter's manifesto.

The IfZ institute says it will carry on with the project even though the public funding will end, citing the importance of Hitler's treatise as an historical source. It won't have to repay state money handed out so far.

IfZ director Andreas Wirsching said on Thursday that he hopes the critical edition will "break down the propaganda in the work and make it transparent."

"Mein Kampf," which translates as "My Struggle," dates from the mid-1920s and outlined Hitler's radical anti-Semitic views, as well as his vision for German dominance in Europe.

Most Nazi symbols and paraphernalia are outlawed in Germany, including the swastikas and the stiff-arm Nazi salute. Mein Kampf isn't banned. Germans can already read it on the Internet, and buy it overseas or in secondhand bookshops.

But Bavaria has blocked the publication and sale of new copies in Germany since 1945.

Copyright expires 70 years after an author's death, meaning Bavarian authorities will lose their copyright from the end of 2015, seven decades after Hitler committed suicide in the final days of the war.

But the Bavarian government says it will continue to ban publication and distribution of the book in Germany through the courts, arguing that it incites ethnic hatred. It says it will make an exception for scholarly versions aimed at academics, such as the IfZ's edition.

The best drink books of 2013

Oddbins used to stock a wine in the late 1990s called Kiwi Cuvée. It was a sauvignon blanc from the south of France designed to taste as if it came from New Zealand. This summed up the direction wine was going in at the time. Supermarkets sold wine made to a formula and at the top end highly paid consultants created lush "iconic" wines for well-heeled collectors. There were still plenty of interesting wines out there, but the received opinion, not least from the EU, was that unfashionable vines such as Carignan should be ripped out to be replaced with Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. This homogenising trend is thankfully over. Variety is now everything. Tesco even has a half decent Old Vine Carignan in its Finest range. Whereas once the concept of terroir – a sense of place – was mocked by Anglos as a marketing device used by the French to sell wine without any fruit character, these days it's used without ironic quotation marks around the globe (though my spellcheck still tries to change it to "terrier").
The World Atlas of Wine

It couldn't be a better time, therefore, for Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson to publish the latest (seventh) edition of The World Atlas of Wine (Mitchell Beazley). It is a very different book to the last edition and now includes detailed maps of some of the most exciting emerging regions – such as Croatia, the district around Mount Etna in Sicily, and Mornington Peninsula near Melbourne, which is rivalling Burgundy for its elegant Pinot Noirs. Cannily, there are two pages on China. The book is a celebration of terroir and a logical companion to Robinson's Wine Grapes (2012) – an expensive and exhaustive encyclopedia of every grape variety in the world. There's an infectious sense of glee about this new atlas. I get the impression that Johnson and, in particular, Robinson with her humorous pedantry, really enjoyed writing it.

The other new edition of a classic worth noting is Alex Liddell's Madeira, the Mid-Atlantic Wine (C Hurst & Co). Madeira is a wine whose long and colourful history you can actually taste – 18th-century wines from this island are both quite easy to find, and still drinkable.
World's Best Cider

It's not only wine in which variety is being rediscovered. Fifteen years ago it was quite hard to get a decent pint of bitter in London, let alone proper cider, but recently a new wave of pubs have opened dedicated to craft products. Cider, for a long time drunk only by teenagers in bus shelters and the Wurzels, is now attracting serious attention. Best known for his beer writing, Pete Brown has produced World's Best Cider with Bill Bradshaw (Jacqui Small). Although it looks like a coffee-table book with lots of photos – many of them stunning – it's also written with wit, knowledge and passion. You might even go as far as to describe Brown and Bradshaw as the Johnson and Robinson of cider. I had no idea that cider was so widespread outside the three cider superpowers of England, France and Spain. The Germans make cider and express surprise that anyone else does, the Irish drink the most cider per head and in Quebec they make a super-sweet ice cider. It's not all good news though, as it is shocking how few actual apples go into some commercial brands. Nevertheless, one gets the impression that cider is currently the most exciting drink in Britain and is only going to get better. Growers are still trying to match the best apple varieties to the right land, just as grape growers did in Bordeaux and Burgundy generations ago.

It's a great time to be drinking but it's not necessarily a great time to be reading about drink. This year saw far too many books along the lines of "200 Wines to Impress your Father-in-law" or "A Beginner's Guide to Craft Beer". Most were illustrated and designed to be easily marketed to English language readers worldwide. They're all starting to look alike, just as the products they celebrate are becoming increasingly diverse. Drink books are now either for gifts or reference. What is lacking is the sort of book that you want to read in bed – an Elizabeth David or Jeffrey Steingarten of wine, perhaps – to make you smile, think and, rather than trying to educate, assumes a certain knowledge and interest on the part of the reader. There are lots of people writing about drink in an interesting way on the internet. There are even some Americans trying to combine comedy with wine, albeit not very successfully. None of these writers, however, are producing engaging books for the general reader.
Sediment Guide to Wining and Dining

The two books I enjoyed most this year didn't come from traditional publishers. Reds, Whites & Varsity Blues: 60 Years of the Oxford & Cambridge Blind Wine-Tasting Competition (Pavilion) – don't be put off by the title – shows how wine writers can entertain when they're given a bit of space to breathe. It features noted wine types letting their hair down or at least giving their toupees a good airing. I particularly enjoyed Oz Clarke on sticking it to the toffs as a grammar school boy at Oxford, and Will Lyons on claret and the Auld Alliance. The second book is an ebook only thing called Wining and Dining: Sediment Guide to Wine and the Dinner-Party (Sediment). It brings a mixture of seriousness and silliness to the strange ritual of the dinner party. In the right hands, wine and comedy can go together.

The 100 best novels: No 11 – Sybil by Benjamin Disraeli (1845)

For more than a decade after the death of Jane Austen in 1817, the English novel was rather in the doldrums, a reflection of the times. English literary culture was making the transition from the high camp of the Regency to the hard grind of early Victorian society. A brilliant new generation would burst on the scene in the late 30s and early 40s. For the moment, the leading novelists of the age were Sir Walter Scott and his protege, "the great Maria", Maria Edgeworth, the Irish-born author of Castle Rackrent and Leonora. Rightly or wrongly, I am choosing to pass over these names for the list on the grounds that I do not know enough about their work to make a good judgment.

Meanwhile, the British readership was avid. There was, more than ever, a booming market for new fiction. The novel had become the medium in which ambitious young writers could make a splash. Bulwer Lytton, author of Pelham; or the Adventures of a Gentleman, (and later, The Last Days of Pompeii) was one of these. Another was the young dandy and rising political star Benjamin Disraeli.

I've worried about Disraeli's place on this list. Would he have made the cut if he had not become prime minister? Or if he had not dazzled and enchanted Victorian society for so many years? His literary contemporaries such as Dickens, Thackeray, George Eliot, and even Anthony Trollope are much greater novelists. Disraeli's plots are far-fetched, and his characters balsa-wood. And yet… At the same time, he has flashes of brilliance that equal these greats at their best. There are, for instance, lines in his precocious early novels, notably Vivian Gray, that rival some of Oscar Wilde's. Is it fanciful to see Dorian Gray as a kind of homage from one outsider to another?

Disraeli is not just a fascinating literary sphinx who famously said, in answer to someone who asked him if he had read Daniel Deronda: "When I want to read a novel, I write one." With his polemical fiction of 1844-47 (Coningsby, Sybil and Tancred), he more or less invented the English political novel. From this trilogy, Sybil, or the Two Nations stands out as perhaps the most important Victorian condition-of-England novel of its time.

In its own day, Sybil precedes, and possibly influences, Mrs Gaskell's Mary Barton (1848), Charles Kingsley's Yeast (1848) and Froude's Nemesis of Faith (1849). Occasionally, this genre was taken to ridiculous lengths, as in Mrs Frewin's The Inheritance of Evil, or The Consequences of Marrying a Deceased Wife's Sister (1849).

Disraeli, the novelist, is far more sparkling than all of these. The opening scene of Sybil, the eve of Derby day at Crockford's, is justly famous, a tour de force with some celebrated zingers. "I rather like bad wine," says Mr Mountchesney. "One gets so bored with good wine." Having begun in a London club, Disraeli moves swiftly to explore the two nations of the subtitle. His portrait of life in a grim, northern manufacturing town is vivid and memorable. Like Dickens, he made a point of researching those parts of the novel that fell outside his experience, and it shows.

As many critics have noted, the most important character in Sybil is Disraeli himself. As an author, he is irrepressibly at large in all his writing. His voice resonates from page to page, and his sympathy for the plight of the poor elevates even the dullest passages. The speech in which the young Chartist agitator, Morley (in love with Sybil) describes "the Two Nations… between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy" is brilliant, passionate and unforgettable, reaching its climax in that celebrated upper-case line: "THE RICH AND THE POOR."

English political rhetoric still refers to one-nation ideals. Weirdly, Disraeli has occasionally been appropriated by Ed Miliband's Labour party. In Taper and Tadpole, he created memorable archetypes who still crop up in the Westminster village. Without Disraeli, Charles Dickens might not have written Hard Times. We are approaching the summit of the mid-Victorian novel.

A note on the text

Disraeli was unlike Dickens, Thackeray et al. He never published in serial form. His novels miss the advantages and problems of serialisation. Instead, he adopted the standard Victorian three-decker form – simultaneous publication in three volumes at a guinea and a half for the set. Disraeli was not a bestseller. Coningsby and Sybil sold about 3,000 copies, and gave him a profit of about £1,000 per title. Sybil was advertised for sale in the Times, on 8 May 1845. The publisher, Henry Colburn of Great Marlborough Street, owned one of the fashionable imprints of the day. Disraeli was a starry young MP. It was natural for publisher and author to do business.

8 Training Advantages of Sound Books

There's no doubting the fact that most people disliked studying as children. Only a few children enjoy studying, especially if there is an alternative.

Audio guides have now made it possible for children to get better access to materials that they don't like studying.

Of course they must still study, but studying any content and still listening to it makes the studying much more exciting.

Many educational institutions have now taken mp3 sound guides not just to the homes of their learners but also in the classes.

Experts in the educational sector have agreed that mp3 sound guides in the classes go a long way to help learners more than regular guides, especially those learners who are just beginning to study or those who have problems in studying.

Below are 10 particular benefits of using mp3 sound guides for students:

1. Using mp3 sound guides to educate children in university gives them "variety". Instead of just enjoying their instructor, they benefit from the change that comes with "another" instructor.

2. There are particular mp3 sound guides prepared with children in mind that are not only educative but very interesting. These types of mp3 sound guides make studying much more fun than regular training.

3. Using mp3 sound guides to educate children in university will give the instructors more a chance to prepare for the next session. The instructors can play the audio book for the children while doing something else.

4. For children with studying difficulties, they can slowly follow the parts from mp3 sound guides until it seems relaxed to study.

Simply following an audio book to study along while looking at the printed content in front of them can increase their studying skills by a very significant number.

5. Audio guides reduce costs. Instead of buying a multitude of guides for a educational setting, just one audio book can be played for all the learners in the educational setting.

There are certain audiobook rental solutions on the Online, such as Jiggerbug.com that allows instructors to rent as many mp3 sound guides as possible at very low price. This is much more economical than having to buy even a single audiobook.

6. Audio guides that tell exciting experiences are very helpful in times when the children have become too tired to study and study.

Most importantly, popular experiences that children love, will be very exciting for them to pay attention to.

7. Children don't particularly like printed guides as much as they do mp3 sound guides. It seems much more relaxed for them to "listen" to an audio book than "read" a guide.

8. Audio guides also have children cope with the diction of certain words that they would have problems with when merely studying them. By listening to the diction and seeing it printed, they would better grasp it.

All in all, most children find it significant amounts of fun enjoying a session on sound, rather than having to study it. That is why children spend lots of your efforts and energy and effort watching movies, rather than studying.

No wonder more educational institutions are adopting the technology of mp3 sound guides for training their children. And with solutions available easily on the Online now, it is now more economical than ever.
