Apple Retaliates for Steve Jobs Bio

Seemingly striking back for an upcoming biography of its chief executive Steve Jobs, Apple has pulled all books by tech publisher John Wiley & Sons from its stores. Wiley publishes the "Dummies" series of book and has enjoyed a long partnership with Apple, which was apparently not pleased by the biography.

"There were conversations with an Apple executive and following that the books were pulled," a Wiley spokesperson said. "It's an unfortunate decision for us, and we're clearly disappointed in their decision." The book, "iCon Steve Jobs: The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business," is an update to a biography about Jobs written by Jeffrey Young 20 years ago. Young said he was surprised by the news, claiming his new book is "pretty positive."
