Anyone know of any good books specific to the tech industry besides The Big Switch?

What part of the tech industry?

Probably one of the best things you could do is go on Amazon and search under that category. Read a bunch of reviews and see if anything catches you eye.

Yeah, I was interested in any personal recommendations. But I'll give amazon a look. As for as which industry, data storage.

Has a good rating RSBR. I'm glad this thread came back to life.

Both RTOs.

We're still seeing overwhelming correlation between delisting and/or halting and status as RTO. We've had a few SPACs bite the bullet. Virtually no IPOs or ADRs have been implicated in recent months.

These 2 look good as well. I was looking at them at BN yesterday:

I'm hoping to finally get to the 4 books I bought last year before I move on to the already behemoth amazon list.

In order to be an effective reader, it helps to be around other people who are reading, which is why about once a month I entitle myself to a full day at BN, alone, coupled with multiple cups of coffee.

No matter WHAT I have going on in any given month, this rule stands.

Even during peak busy season I still read, I just don't do it every day, I do it on Sunday. Instead of 3 hrs a night it becomes 7 hrs on a Sunday (and much less focused). Otherwise, I read every night, usually about 2 hrs now (not including time on the shitter). The difference is its all in Google Reader and not in a book. I'm going to get into the ones I have lying around though.

That's a good plan there. Best way to get smarter.

I mean I really don't know why those figures are a big deal. People have been quitting facebook since it started. It just happens that exponentially more join at the same time. Just like groupon, its not any different than any other business, the growth will slow down as it matures. Its not worth anything close to $100B and it never has been.

I think for the first time in the last few years, though, people are actually beginning to realize that it's 'okay' not to be on Facebook.

I don't know man, I know plenty of people our age that have either closed their accounts, or never opened one in the first place, or don't use it regularly. The flip side, of course, is the number of people who do use it with some kind of regularity far outweighs the number that don't. I would say that, possibly, for the first time in many years, investors are realizing that its okay to not be in on facebook (or social networking in general for that matter) though.

The only thing that's happened recently that I'm not a big fan of is parents hopping on board. Luckily mine won't, but their friends do. If they send a friend request, I politely oblige, then add them to the "block everything" group filter that I created for them and co-workers. I'm savvy like that though.
