Steve Jobs crotchety over unauthorized biography

It seems besides producing iPods, Apple has nothing better to do than going against book publishers. According to Associated Press, Apple removed dozens of John Wiley & Sons books last week from all 104 of its stores after failing to persuade the publisher not to release the unauthorized Steve Jobs biography iCon Steve Jobs: The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business. It should be obvious even to Apple fanatics that this is not a way of making new friends:

"Pulling books off the shelf is a little draconian," said Rob Frankel, a brand consultant. "It reeks of repression."

We are confident that at least the book's author, Jeffrey Young, won't be too upset for this kind of unanticipated publicity.
