Very odd.

Bloomberg accidentally released a newswire report with Steve Job's obituary.


But rumors of his death, of course, were greatly exaggerated, since he's still alive.

"The obituary contained blank spaces for Jobs’s age and cause of death to be inserted.
The opening sentence described Jobs as the man who “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.” "
