There's always two sides to one story. And Jobs was not the kind of person to take no for an answer. I've known other narcissists and they've always seen friends as more of a resource than someone to care about.

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Another rumour was that Schwartz spilling the beans pissed Jobs off, which I wouldn't really put past him. Though I don't think it would have been enough to kill this.

I think all these little things added up and the end result was just "better not then".
