Correct - Is John better informed than I?
Put in the rest of what would be there...Is John better informed than I (am)?
Incorrect - She was as late as me.
It should be - She was as late as I (was).
Incorrect - Give the book to the boss or I.
It should be - Give the book to the boss or me.
For this one, take the boss out and it would be - Give the book to me.

Is john better informed than I? is ok if the intent is "than I am."
She was AS late as I (was).
Give the book to the boss or me. (When in doubt about objects of prepositions, take out the other person: "Give the book to...me.")
