( CNN ) -- On this week 's Tech Check podcast , Doug Gross , Brandon Griggs and Stephanie Goldberg break down details from the new Steve Jobs biography . The book , written by Walter Isaacson and released this week in the wake of Jobs ' death , takes the reader behind the scenes of Jobs ' rise to the top of the consumer-tech world , not always casting the Apple co-founder in a positive light . We also look at Unthink , an upstart social-networking site that is trying to find a niche by being the anti-Facebook . Will calling Facebook , and rival Google+ , `` greedy giants '' and adopting an anti-corporate approach , work ? And what 's up with that YouTube video ? Our Reader Comments of the Week come from our story on `` Take This Lollipop , '' a viral Web video that uses your Facebook information to give the creepy , horror-inspired short film a personal twist . And our Tech Fail of the Week goes to Netflix , which had some bad news to report this week after a couple of months of public-relations missteps the online movie-rental service would probably like to forget .
