Steve Jobs Dead?

An obtiuary on Apple CEO Steve Jobs was mistakenly published by Bloomberg. The leaked article was published at the gossip blog Gawker. The obituary even contains a list of people to contact for further information. Among the list is Apple Co-founder Steave Wozniak, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, and etc. The obituary offers a summary of Jobs' life, and that he "helped make personal computers as easy to use as telephones, changed the way animated films are made, persuaded consumers to tune into digital music, and refashioned the mobile phone." Most major news outlets keep similar obituaries of important people, just in case. That way the obituaries can come out nearly instantly and further details could be added.
