Steve Jobs biography updated to included resignation details

The official Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson is reportedly being updated to include details on Steve's resignation. According to Simon & Schuster, the update will not affect publication deadlines, and the book is still scheduled to hit shelves on November 21.

A Simon & Schuster spokeswoman told PCMag that Isaacson speaks with Jobs regularly, and the two are currently collaborating on the final chapter. This will be the first authorized biography of Jobs to be published. Its title and release date have changed several times. Most recently, the release was moved from March 6, 2012 to the current November 21.

Pre-orders have begun on Amazon. I've placed mine.

Also, it's his biography - it should be "Steve Jobs' biography...".

No. It is not his biography. ("His biography" in the possessive sense would mean the copy of the biography that Steve Jobs owns.)

The biography is "about" Steve Jobs, it does not "belong" to him. Since apostrophes only indicate possession or contraction, not relation, the phrase "Steve Jobs biography" (without apostrophe) is correct.

See http://www.dailywritingtips.com/appositives-and-possessives/ or just do a search on Steve Jobs' Biography and note that without exception, the apostrophe is absent.

Jobs is done but left his mark on every corner of wireless technology. It only leaves us asking who won the war between the two titans of modern computer technology? Steve Jobs vs. Bill Gates / Apple vs. Microsoft– check out my rendering of an epic match-up of their cyborg selves on my artist's blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/08/end-of-era-steve-jobs.html
