Steve Jobs dead…

By Damian Francis, 29/8/2008 4:14:15

Bloomberg inadvertently published an obituary for Steve Jobs yesterday and circulated it to thousands of their corporate clients. For those whose hearts are palpitating at an alarming rate, Jobs is still very much alive.

The mistake occurred at 4:27pm American Eastern time when a reporter that was editing the stock 17-page obituary Bloomberg has for Steve Jobs accidentally published it. For eagle eye readers it would have been obvious that it was published by mistake as there were still template holders littered throughout the document, including multiple causes of death. It also came with a list of people Bloomberg reporters should call for comment.

It would have been enough to scare a lot of readers though, especially after reports a few weeks ago that Jobs health was declining and he could be suffering from another case of pancreatic cancer, a disease that he successfully beat five years ago. Since then Jobs has confirmed his latest health issues are not life threatening.

You can find a copy of Bloomberg’s obituary at Gawker.

Steve Jobs might not be dead but the laser mouse looks like it is. Find out why here.

You can also find out why Steve Jobs might want to be dead. Apple have admitted to flaws in iPhone security.
