Steve Jobs - R.I.P

At least according to a gaff at Bloomburg last night, who while updating the Apple bosses obituary - accidentally published it, doing nothing for investors nerves which are shakey enough after rumours of his health following his last keynote. http://gawker.com/5042795/bloomberg-runs-steve-jobs-obituary

lol, that's hilarious. Very embarrassing for Bloomberg. I knew that tv and news publications had stuff like obituaries on standby for public figures but christ—the detail. All they were missing was the date of death. They even have a list of people to call for quotes.

Forget them, imagine Steve reading that stuff... It'd be a bit weird to say the least.
