Cnet’s Tom Krazit points out that Apple has removed Mark Papermaster’s personal biography from their website, primarily in part to comply with a recent ruling in which Papermaster’s new position at Apple, has been put on hold.
Cnet continues to explain that this is likely due to a recent injunction delaying Papermaster from officially taking his new position with Apple. The press release Apple issued announcing Tony Fadell’s departure, and Mark Papermaster’s arrival can still be found here.
Google cache currently has a version of the biography from Apple’s website, as taken on November 8th. Just in case Google’s cache rescans the site and changes the content, below is the bio (from Apple’s website) verbatim.
