Apple angry about Steve Jobs biography
Interesting! I wonder what it could have said that upset them so much...

Pulling the books probably just guaranteed more sales. They should be happy.
"You are" = you're • "It is" = it's • It's really that simple

It just shows that Jobs doesn't like anything other than praise and arse kissing.
All hail... bah. Whatever. Just keep making an OS that works for all I care, he could dropkick babies into rush hour traffic and has a SM fetish with Teddy Ruxpin dolls for all it's worth.
He's just a man in the end of the day regardless. One that has a huge smug look on his face, and more zeros in his bank account after the first number than mine.
But I didn't think that unauthorized books could be pulled unless the contents were considered libel anyway.project cubezilla : 1.2ghz G4 | 1.5gb RAM | Nvidia GeForce3 | 120gb HD | Superdrive

lol @ gerbick..
He has always been funny about people asking and commenting about his personal life. I dont blame him in many ways. However steve jobs seems to be the kind of guy who loves attention, but only a certain type of attention.
I read "the second comming of steve jobs" and it was a interesting read. I think he is crazy, but also a genius.
Maybe he just wants to be seen as a genius.Carlo

Well he's currently the CEO of two of the best branded companies in the world, Apple and PIXAR.
You can't beat those two for track records under his leadership, anywhere in any industry.15" MacBook Pro

I don't care for any unauthorized biography doesn't matter who it is. I only care about continuing the fortunes of Apple,not the "cult of personality" around Mr. Jobs.

True, but the two are colliding here. Note that Apple is ejecting all books by that publisher from their Apple stores.
John Wiley & Sons publish, among other things:
o CliffsNotes™
o For Dummies®
o Frommer's®
o The Unofficial Guide®OS X 10.8.2
