Bloomberg committed a journalistic faux pas by inadvertently publishing their on-file obituary of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Apparently somebody was trying to update it but somehow managed to publish it instead--sounds like their system needs a little idiotproofing. It has since been retracted, but you can read the obit here. This incident comes amid speculation that Jobs' health has been waning over recent months due to an alleged recurrence of pancreatic cancer. The article touches on some extensive career highlights for Apple and Jobs and I think that both Apple fanboys and Apple haters can agree that Jobs has influenced the tech industry profoundly for better or worse.
