A preview copy of Walter Isaacson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s upcoming biography of Steve Jobs\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 life has been obtained by The Associated Press, who reported on some of the book\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s highlights.<\/p>\n
Among them, are the details of a meeting between Steve Jobs\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and Google\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Eric Schmidt that showed Jobs\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 furious reaction to the release of a 2010 HTC Android model that shared many of the iPhone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s features. Jobs\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 had told Isaacson that Google\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actions essentially amounted to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153grand theft\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jobs said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to destroy Android, because it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a stolen product. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m willing to go thermonuclear war on this.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Eric Schmidt had reportedly offered Jobs \u00e2\u20ac\u0153any amount of money\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to settle out of court. Jobs apparently turned down an offer of $5 billion, instead telling Schmidt \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all I want.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
