Maybe I don't even understand how good it is. The way Taleb is writing gets to your ego; he feels so cocky. But, yes, man has a point. I started to laugh to myself and to my capabilities of "estimating" and even "thinking" while reading this book. Taleb has interesting view point to life; don't try to predict it, or forecast it, life will fool you anyway, sucker! Don't believe ...             Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual128 reviews David Pogue Pogue Press, 2007 Excellent I own many books from "The Missing Manual" series. I couldn't work without them.

Each page has one "how to" technique on it. Look up what you want to do, say "I want the background sharp" & he tells you what to do, if you need the technical reason you can look it up later in another book. This is a have to have.             slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations10 reviews Nancy Duarte O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008 AMAZING--not about slides, about mind to mind communication I just destroyed this book with folded pages and ink annotations, so the perfectionists out there may want to order two copies, one for eating and one for sharing. The price is phenomenally reasonable, especially for something that is all color and totally elegant. This is not about powerpoint slides. If anything, it is a very subtle but explicit critique of how retarded they still are (e.g. ...             Adobe Photoshop CS3 Classroom in a Book67 reviews Adobe Creative Team Adobe Press, 2007 Great Book for Photoshop Beginners I previously took a Photoshop class and really did not feel I had a very good understanding of the program.

BUT the only thing I disagree with is I like the humour aspect. I love Scotts books. The way he writes. I find it easy to follow. I found I was talking aloud as I read this book. I would say "Huh?!" and in the very next sentence Scott would write, "I bet you are saying HUH? right now" Then he would go and clearly explain to me ...             iPhone: The Missing Manual: Covers the iPhone 3G (Missing Manual)76 reviews David Pogue Pogue Press, 2008 iPhone - The Unmissable Manual David Pogue's independant manual for the iPhone is, quite simply, a book you have to read if you have an iPhone - or are thinking of getting one. When you invest in an iPhone, one of the first things you'll notice as you open the box is the absence of a conventional instruction manual - especially after the ever-increasingly thick tomes supplied with Nokia et al. So whereas the iPhone is ...             PMP Exam Prep, Fifth Edition: Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam304 reviews Rita Mulcahy RMC Publications, Inc., 2005 I Passed the PMP today thanks mostly to this book.

Information that I have already learned by myself simply by experimenting with the software. How many times can people write the same basic-to-intermediate information on how to organize files, set white balance, adjust contrast, etc.? I am already an intermediate Photoshop and ...             Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, 2nd Edition435 reviews Steve Krug New Riders Press, 2005 Great book full of truths.
