Steve Jobs: The Way Steve Jobs Changed The World
Steve Jobs changed our lives. By launching the iPod in 2001, he revolutionized our way of listening to music. Apple's founder proved then once again that he's a genius at the edge of technology and innovation, 25 years after having commercialized the first home computers. Yet, before becoming a hero, Steve Jobs was the only one to believe in its success. He fought hard against serious competitors such as IBM but mostly against his famous rival, Bill Gates. Back to the story of a kid in a garage somewhere in San Francisco with great invention and design skills. He wanted to change the world and he did it. Not rated

J.K. Rowling
The adventures of that certain boy wizard, Harry Potter, were enough to propel J.K Rowling into millionaire status, but by 2007 the story that began it all came to an end. Rowling said goodbye to the series with the launch of the seventh book in the series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." The idea for the series was born on a long train journey, and by the time the author disembarked she couldn't wait to start writing. Seventeen years, seven books and six movies later, the final installment was split into two movies due to the large content of the novel, and although the author says she'll be sad to let go of Harry, she admits it's time to move on.
