PC Roadkill
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
A tremendous compendium of computer humor, failed ad campaigns, very embarrassing gossip, and inside stories and techniques:
- a hard-drive manufacturer that filled its warehouse with boxes full of bricks so investors would think business was good. The ruse worked... for awhile;
- how to spy on competitors at trade shows;
- canonical interview questions at companies like Microsoft;
and hundreds of pages of great bathroom reading for any serious geek, nerd, or wannabe.
The publisher, IDG Books
PC Roadkill offers hilarious yet often twisted anecdotes of industry brainiacs and wizards, as well as the inside scoop on product packaging, techie lingo, computer guru foods, the mouse's background (not Mickey), and much, much more.
