Steve Jobs's Obituary, As Run By Bloomberg
,----[ Quote ]
| The Bloomberg financial newswire decided to update its 17-page Steve Jobs
| obituary today — and inadvertently published it in the process. Some
| investors were undoubtedly rattled to see, as our tipster did late this
| afternoon, the Apple CEO's obit cross the wire and then suddenly disappear.
| Jobs's battle with pancreatic cancer, and speculation over his health, jarred
| Wall Street earlier this year and continues to be the subject of speculation.
| The Times weighed in on the matter as recently as last month, when columnist
| Joe Nocera spoke with the secretive tech executive. But news organizations
| routinely prepare obituaries in advance, even for the healthy.

So the message they send is: "In case he dies, we want to make money from his
death by publishing a glossy article about the tragedy."

Democrats can't run Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| THE U.S. Democratic Party has been touting its IT credentials as proof that
| it is a better bet than luddite John McCain who has never turned on a
| computer.
|
| However, cracks in the Democrats' veneer have been showing lately, notably
| with the appointment of the technology and privacy anti-Christ Joe Biden as
| vice presidential candidate. It seems the Democrat's open sauce credentials
| are being questioned.
