Kara #Swisher recently put out a new book – which is why WIRED did a long, rather unconventional interview with her (that's totally worth you time):
Kara #Swisher has a knack for puncturing puffed-up male egos, and her fans will not be surprised at how many of tech’s luminaries come off as thin-skinned man-children.
In one of the book’s more amusing set pieces, a puckish Steve #Jobs needles a peevish Bill #Gates backstage ahead of a historic 2007 joint interview, their first public appearance together after decades of arch-rivalry.
In another revealing pre-interview scene, Swisher marvels at how a then-26-year-old Mark #Zuckerberg seemed more concerned with his unflattering depiction in the upcoming movie “The Social Network” than the real-world impacts of his product.
She reflects: “This was the first, but far from the last, flash of a persistent #victim #mentality that would plague him and the company for years to come as fair criticisms mounted.”

@danjac From what I understand, she was a sugar-sweet corporate exec who had no problems firing people left and right at NBC, so maybe she’ll get just desserts — Karma’s going to get ya (wondering how long she’ll last there 🤨)
