Steve Jobs Is Not Dead
Bloomberg, the financial newswire service, accidentally published its 17-page obituary for Apple Co-Founder and CEO Steve Jobs. The news service said it was updating the document when it was inadvertently published online.
“An incomplete story referencing Apple Inc. was inadvertently published by Bloomberg News at 4:27 p.m. New York time today,” Bloomberg said. “The item was never meant for publication and has been retracted.”
Nonetheless, the story was carried within minutes by news organizations around the world, underscoring the immediacy and power of the Internet to distribute information, including mistakes.
