Claim: Tim Rice was not happy with Walter Isaacson's official diary, Steve Jobs (an unauthorized biography of Steve Jobs) and the book is noted for revealing previous publicly unknown events from Jobs' life.
Evidence: Steve Jobs is the authorized self-titled biography of Steve Jobs. The book was written at the request of Jobs by Walter Isaacson, a former executive at CNN and TIME who has written best-selling biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein. Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—in addition to interviews with more than one hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Isaacson was given "unprecedented" access to Jobs's life.
