Apple's Steve Jobs goes psycho (again)

Apple's Steve Jobs goes psycho (again)

Technology at 12:54:58 AM MT (link) | Everyone's most hated computer conglomerate Apple--well, at least my most hated computer conglomerate. After stuff like this Microsoft transgressions don't seem as bad (though their transgressions are much bigger and get more press).

First read over at Overclockers.com's iBaby article which pointed to the original story by SignOnSanDiego.com, it just demonstrates Apple's audacity.

Basically, Apple's CEO Steve Jobs did not like his portrayal in an unofficial biography, so he decides to pull all books from by that publisher from Apple's stores. Because the book is not out and I've not read it, I can't say how bad they portrayed him, but I have no doubt believing Overclockers.com's comment about making him look "merely human" isn't too far off.

Notice some tidbits in the articles. Things like removing all of the publisher's books from the shelves, even by authors that had nothing to do with this certain book. Why should other people other than Apple make money? They sued the ISPs of some reporters, trying to gain information on their sources. When I don't think the government should have access to that kind of information for finding terrorists, why should a corporation like Apple?

Remember kids: Think Different.
