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.

  • are they kidding?

    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.
