You must be very busy.

We're all lucky Steve self destructed there for awhile and we got the Bungling Bill and Baldy team running the Evil Empire rather than a real Genius of Evil who would have done it right. Oh, and I think there's now a lot of people wondering what's in there - should be a hot seller.

Post #204,901 by Another Scott 4/26/05 10:50:30 PM 4/26/05 11:12:11 PM Reply	Seems to be an update of an earlier work. [link\|http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471720836/104-1490198-7197559\|Amazon]: In this encore to his classic 1987 unauthorized biography of Steve Jobs-a major bestseller- Jeffrey Young examines Jobs' remarkable resurgence, one of the most amazing business comeback stories in recent years. Drawing on a wide range of sources in Silicon Valley and Hollywood, he details how Jobs put Apple back on track, first with the iMac and then with the iPod, and traces Jobs' role in the remarkable rise of the Pixar animation studio, including his rancorous feud with Disney's Michael Eisner. * Written with insider scoops and no-holds-barred style * Based on hundreds of highly unauthorized interviews with Jobs' nearest and dearest * New information on the acrimonious parting between Eisner and Jobs, the personal vendetta behind the return to Apple, and the future of iPod and the music industry Sounds like it might be a hatchet job - and with a title like that, it seems rather obvious - , but who knows. I can understand Apple not carrying it, but dropping the rest of Wiley's books seems very petty. I'm sure Young is loving the publicity... [edit:] Jean-Louis Gassee has some interesting comments about one of the authors on [link\|http://dangillmor.typepad.com/dan_gillmor_on_grassroots/2005/04/apples_latest_a.html#comments\|Gillmor's Blog]: Who knows how many people Bill Simon and his cohort called, how can they (and their publisher) be surprised Steve's unhappy with the dirty deed? These guys are out to make a buck off his back. As the French say, the higher the monkey climbs the more people see its derri\ufffdre... He agrees that Steve went too far in retaliation, if I infer correctly.[/edit] Cheers, Scott. Edited by Another Scott April 26, 2005, 11:12:11 PM EDT Expand All History

He wasn't happy to hear I felt Gil Amelio made a great decision in bringing Steve back at Apple, I guess he expected sour grapes. and This said, Steve should let ankle biters and mud eaters be seen for who they are and he for who he is, the man who made and remade Apple, built Pixar in between and smile magnanimously at the poor envious eunuchs. I.o.w. he thinks Jobs sullied himself by even acknowledging the authors' existence.
