    互联网的最初，从Yahoo 开始，互联网上最有价值的商业模式的底层逻辑一直是信息的排序。Yahoo 那个时代是“专家”帮所有的人排序，每个人消费一样的信息。Google 则是由搜索算法根据查询的关键词对信息进行排序。Facebook，Twitter，微信这种是根据每个人的社会关系来给信息排序。而到了字节跳动，则是由算法根据你自己的兴趣和历史，把信息排序之后推荐给你。

    过去全部十年中，我最想做的，就是将政治性写作变成一种艺术。我的出发点总是感到党派偏见和不公。动笔写一本书时，我不会对自己说：“我要写一本完美的书。”我想写它，是因为有某种谎言我想揭穿，有些事实我想唤起人们的注意，我最初关心的，就是让人们听到我的意见。但如果同时没有一种美学感受，我就不会写一本书，甚或一篇为杂志而写的长文。任何人如果有心详细读一下我写的东西，就会发现即使是纯粹的宣传，里面还是包括很多一个全职的政治家会认为与主题无关的东西。我不能也不愿完全抛弃那个我自孩提时代开始形成的世界观。只要我活着，我就会继续追求文字上的风格，继续热爱大自然，继续乐于欣赏那些实实在在的东西，以及星星点点的无用信息。我想压制自己的这方面是徒劳的。我的工作，是将自己根深蒂固的好恶感与时代强加给我们所有人身上那些基本上是大众的、非个体的活动相调和。
    回头看看前面的一两页，我看到我好像制造出了这样一个印象，即我的写作动机完全出自热心公众利益，我不想让这点成为别人对我的最终印象。所有作家都是自负自私，也是懒惰的，在他们各种写作动机的根子里面，还存在一个谜团。写本书是场可怕的、令人疲惫不堪的挣扎，就像很长一段时间得了令身心痛苦的病症。如果不是受某种他既无力抵抗又无法理解的魔鬼迫使，他永远不会做这样一件事。就人们所知，这个魔鬼只不过跟让小孩子号啕以引起别人注意是同样一种本能。但同样正确的是，除非他不停奋力消除自己的个性，否则就写不出任何具有可读性的东西。好的文字就像窗玻璃。我不能十分肯定地说出我的几种动机里哪种最强，但我知道哪种值得遵循。回头看看我的全部作品，我看到在我缺乏政治目的时，写出来的书总无一例外地没有生气，蜕化成华而不实的段落、无意义的句子和装饰性形容词，而且总的说来，是自欺欺人之作。

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 12 Two Decisions

Jim Collins, the bestselling author of the management classics Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies and Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap … and Others Don’t, has a wonderful phrase to describe an essential characteristic of great leaders: deep restlessness. Collins applies the phrase to Steve, one of the two great leaders who inspire him the most (the other is Winston Churchill, the great English politician who was prime minister during most of World War II, from 1940 to 1945, and again from 1951 to 1955). Collins believes this restlessness is far more important and powerful than simple ambition or raw intelligence. It is the foundation of resilience, and self-motivation. It is fueled by curiosity, the ache to build something meaningful, and a sense of purpose to make the most of one’s entire life. 自己何其有幸，在不到30的年纪，就能感受到乔布斯的心境 “The things he was trying to do,” says Collins, “were always hard. Sometimes those things beat him up. But the response to fighti...

Interview at the All Things Digital D5 Conference, Steve and Bill Gates spoke with journalists Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg onstage in May 2007.

Kara Swisher: The first question I was interested in asking is what you think each has contributed to the computer and technology industry— starting with you, Steve, for Bill, and vice versa. Steve Jobs: Well, Bill built the first software company in the industry. And I think he built the first software company before anybody really in our industry knew what a software company was, except for these guys. And that was huge. That was really huge. And the business model that they ended up pursuing turned out to be the one that worked really well for the industry. I think the biggest thing was, Bill was really focused on software before almost anybody else had a clue that it was really the software that— KS: Was important? SJ: That’s what I see. I mean, a lot of other things you could say, but that’s the high-order bit. And I think building a company’s really hard, and it requires your greatest persuasive abilities to hire the best ...

Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone on January 9, 2007.

This is a day I’ve been looking forward to for two and a half years. Link Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything. And Apple has been— well, first of all, one’s very fortunate if you get to work on just one of these in your career. Apple’s been very fortunate. It’s been able to introduce a few of these into the world. In 1984, we introduced the Macintosh. It didn’t just change Apple, it changed the whole computer industry. In 2001, we introduced the first iPod, and it didn’t just change the way we all listen to music, it changed the entire music industry. Well, today, we’re introducing three revolutionary products of this class. The first one is a widescreen iPod with touch controls. The second is a revolutionary mobile phone. And the third is a breakthrough internet communications device. So, three things: a widescreen iPod with touch controls; a revolutionary mobile phone; and a breakthrough internet communicat...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 17 “Just Tell Them I’m Being an Asshole”

For several months, I had been working to set up a joint interview of Steve, Andy Grove, Bill Gates, and Michael Dell. The confab was supposed to kick off the reporting for a book I had in mind. I had what I thought was a snappy title—Founders Keepers—and a plan to describe how a handful of geeky entrepreneurs had evolved into captains of industry; how self-absorbed inventors morphed into self-taught empire builders; how shaggy-haired idealists managed to stay in the saddle even as the companies they created grew rapidly by orders of magnitude, and as their own wealth and influence over the world itself became far more than the stuff of dreams. 好可惜啊，这次采访没有成形 During this time, Steve came to visit me in the hospital a couple of times. I was so addled with sedatives and painkillers and my own delirious hallucinations that during one visit I expressed my sincerest regrets at not being able to play saxophone in a Beatles retrospective show he was planning to put on in Las Vegas with Ringo S...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 15 The Whole Widget

What the world did see was an effective and visionary leader at the height of his powers. These were complicated years for Apple, but Steve handled almost every challenge in exactly the manner he wanted. He had fallen into leadership at such a young age, but he was comfortable in that role now, and justifiably sure of his capacity to guide Apple’s tens of thousands of employees to the goals he set for them. During these years, he would ensure the company’s continued success in personal computers by engineering a deft switch to a new kind of microprocessor; ruthlessly and successfully managing some major transitions in his executive team; and optimizing and building upon the efficiency and ambition of the company’s product development “treadmill,” as Tim Cook describes it. This is also when he delivered what is likely to be remembered as the most notable product of his life, the iPhone, and then improved even that by pivoting once again into a strategy he personally had not wanted to pu...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 11 Do Your Level Best

As a mass-market consumer electronics device, the iPod would eventually be sold, of course, all the usual places: Best Buy, Circuit City, big-box department stores, and even the computer retailers like CompUSA. Steve disdained all these outlets. His obsession with his products continued well after they’d been manufactured. The tacky, low-margin hustle of these chains ran completely against the minimalist aesthetic of his products and the clean exuberance of his marketing. There was only one place where he really enjoyed seeing his products sold to the public: his own Apple stores, which had debuted four months ahead of the iPod. 觉得那些喧嚣、嘈杂的零售渠道，配不上自己极美的产品 Going back as far as the debut of the Mac, Steve had always groused about the way Apple computers were sold in its resellers’ stores. The way his computers were displayed and sold represented the very worst of what could go wrong when things weren’t done his way. The salespeople, always interested in quick turnover, seemed to make litt...
