Your time is limited. . . . have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. --Steve Jobs From the start, his path was never predictable. Steve Jobs was given up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of twenty, created Apple in his parents' garage with his friend Steve Wozniack. Then came the core and hallmark of his genius--his exacting moderation for perfection, his counterculture life approach, and his level of taste and style that pushed all boundaries. A devoted husband, father, and Buddhist, he battled cancer for over a decade, became the ultimate CEO, and made the world want every product he touched, from the Macintosh to the iPhone, from iTunes and the iPod to the Macbook. Critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal takes us to the core of this complicated and legendary man while simultaneously exploring the evolution of computers. Framed by Jobs' inspirational Stanford commencement speech and illustrated throughout with black and white photos, this is the story of the man who changed our world.

Great Value for a ball my dog loves!
Color: S6-muti-color
I wish these ball were in the subscription program! My dog gets sooo excited by the new ball, but her interest in things lasts for a few days. She kills the squeak within 11minutes, but the squeaker stays in place rather than becoming a chocking or swallow hazard, and she still loves to chew it. Next, we must throw the ball approximately 723 times the first day, possibly 496 times on day 2, and just 3- 4 on day 3, at which point she will chase the ball before hollering "it's over here if you need it," while she checks on the chipmunk den. We currently have 17 of these balls in our yard (because we have given several leftovers to a less discriminating doodle next door). These balls hold up really well, get her extremely active for the first couple of days, and are a much cheaper than doggie daycare (after an active morning with a new ball, she is happy to chew on it and sleep much of the day). I always have these on hand!

Pieces chewed off
Color: white & green
My Aussiedoodle loves it. I throw it down the hallway, it bounces crazy, and he chases it. The only complaint is that he can't chew much of the ball part. So now I have to have it put away and brought out for special playtime.

Exquisite! Durable! Beautiful!
Style: Gold, Size: 180PCS, Style: Gold, Size: 180PCS
I bought & used these for a Senior Adult banquet event. They were durable and beautiful. The exquisite design complimented the plates and the round gold placemats I used for the centerpieces. Lots of favorable comments from those attending the banquet.

Pretty color
Style: Red, Size: 180PCS
I am given this five-star based on the looks of it because of that it arrived too late and didn't arrive until the day of my party. I had already purchased some other plastic wear to use. I wish this would have came sooner because it would have been beautiful for my Christmas party. I am going to store it for next year's Christmas party and see if the color fades at all. If the color fades it may turn it into a pretty pink who knows. All I know is the plastic ware seems very sturdy and is gorgeous.
