McGraw-Hill Punished During iPad Presentation Over CNBC Slip?

by Terrence O'Brien on January 28, 2010 at 12:20 PM

You might have noticed something missing from the iBooks announcement yesterday -- McGraw Hill. Mere hours before the Apple event, the publishing company's CEO, Terry McGraw, went on CNBC and let it slip that there would indeed be a tablet, and that his company had worked closely with Apple to bring its collection of text books and other educational publications to the iPad. Yet, when Apple revealed its list of partners (screenshot) at the event, McGraw-Hill was conspicuous in its absence.

Insiders told Venture Beat that Jobs was so irked by having his thunder stolen that he cut the publisher from the presentation. This may only be a temporary punishment, as McGraw-Hill is one of the biggest publishers in the world and as it's hard to believe that Apple would permanently ban its products from the iBooks Store. However, only time will tell.

That will teach Terry the first and second rule of working with Apple: you do not talk about Apple. [From: Venture Beat]
