Apple Throws Tantrum Over Jobs Bio

from the unintended-consequences... dept

theodp writes "John Wiley & Sons, a leading publisher of technology books, said Apple Computer has removed all Wiley titles from the shelves of Apple stores in apparent retaliation for the upcoming publication of a biography of Apple CEO Steve Jobs from the publisher." Of course, this pretty much guarantees that the "unflinching" bio of Mr. Jobs will get that much more attention.

    I've read two or three "insider" books on Apple, and they were filled with anecdotes about Steve Jobs. Mostly how he manages to be a mesmerizing, genius marketer/motivator and an absolute egomaniac jerk at the same time.

    It's not like this is some corporate secret.
