Enter our “What Will Steve Call His Book?” Sweepstakes!

February 19, 2010 by Dr. Macenstein
Filed under: Apple Fanboyism, Awesomeness, Free Stuff, Steve Jobs, contests 

This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Dr. Who who won with his entry of “One More Thing…”

With news that the notoriously private Steve Steve jobs has hired former managing editor of Time magazine Walter Isaacson to write his official autobiography, one can only wonder what Steve’s masterpiece will be titled. Will it be something cutesy, with an “i” in the front, like “iLife”, or “iAm So Rich”? Or something more obvious like “Why I’m so Awesome” or “I Will Eat Google’s Lunch”?

(Whatever it’s called, odds are the book will physically LOOK better than other CEO autobiographies and cost roughly 50% more.)

While one can never guess what Steve will do next, we’ve decided to let YOU try to help him out by coming up with the ultimate title for his book. Leave us a comment with your best ideas, funny or serious. We’ll pick our top 5 or 10 entries and put it them up for a reader poll. Enter as often as you’d like. Winner will receive a $50 iTunes gift certificate. The contest is open to everyone in the US (sorry, iTunes won’t let us buy gift certificates to non-US accounts), and runs until Friday (March 5th) at 11:59PM EST.

    6. Because he likes short names (look at all Apple software: Mail, Preview, Finder), it will be called:

    - Life
    - Steve Jobs

    or more creative:
    - iLife 55
    - “An Apple a day keeps the competition away”
    - Booooom
    - The Reality Distortion Field
    - “One last thing”
    - Designed in California

    7. It’ll simply be called… either

    He hired him? This is must be a Macenstein exclusive because even the New York Times is reporting that Jobs is co-operating with a project that’s Isaacson’s. No one else is reporting that Isaacson is working for Steve.
