http://gawker.com/5042795/bloomberg-runs-steve-job ... - DiggMasterJ, on 08/28/2008, -0/+129Would it be in bad taste if they publish the same thing when he really goes, or do they have to change it now?
- danielrh9, on 08/28/2008, -1/+117I fear that it is true. My suspicion is that Jobs really did die, but Apple resurrected him as Zombie Steve. Therefore, necessitating Bloomberg's retraction.
- willgonz, on 08/28/2008, -19/+119Leave Steve alone!! Leave him alone!!! If anyone wants to attack him they have to go through me. (Crying) Leave him alone!!
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -3/+67If Jobs dies, it'll be from Asphyxiation. He'll wear a turtle-neck one too tight.
- davidwasman, on 08/28/2008, -9/+72How is Gawker any less of a spam site? They inundate Digg with all 15 of their sites including Gizmodo, Lifehacker, io9, Consumerist, Jalopnik, Kotaku, Valleywag and more.
I don't understand how, with everyone bitching about HuffPo, no one has noticed or cared about Gawker's monopoly of Digg's front page. - SkippyDoorknob, on 08/28/2008, -1/+49North Korea is being run by a Steve Jobs impersonator?
- NoNamesLeft, on 08/28/2008, -2/+44I wish there was an obituary for "after the jump"
- funsutton, on 08/28/2008, -1/+42This has to make a man feel great - to read their obituary online.
- oldhick, on 08/28/2008, -0/+40That's got to be pretty creepy for Steve. Can you imagine getting a chance to see how at least some in the world viewed your life and how your accomplishments and struggles would appear in print... Got to be a strange feeling!
- Suzilla, on 08/28/2008, -0/+39Hey, at least he can submit corrections!
- OneLess, on 08/28/2008, -2/+34Perhaps Apple is being run by a Steve Jobs impersonator, much like North Korea.
- KSUdesigner, on 08/28/2008, -1/+25I don't think anybody is claiming that it's unusual to have a prewritten obit. It is unusual that it actually gets published before the person dies though.
- bg233, on 08/28/2008, -2/+26BRING WOOD AND OIL!!
- MrSkills, on 08/28/2008, -0/+23Do you reckon at the reading of the will there will be "one more thing"?
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+22Steve's brain will be connected to the internal networks of Apple,
unveiled to the masses as iLord.
Consuming all of the world's information via the tubes of the interwebs,
his power will never die, but only grow at a rate inconceivable to mere man.
Soon iLord will take over the world, sending us all to iGulags where we shall toil for an eternity.
Wearing black shirts tailored to be worn as brain-capes, he will vanquish all who oppose
and establish a new utopia which he shall name iXanadu.
And lo, the hardship shall pass to our children, and our children's children.
I for one, welcome our new iLord. - Wilddigi, on 08/28/2008, -0/+20Wishing anybody to die is abnormal
- MalarkeyPN, on 08/28/2008, -2/+21I think this obit has been greatly exaggerated.
- pjvandehaar, on 08/28/2008, -1/+19RIP Steve Jobs
- pak314, on 08/28/2008, -9/+27Steve Jobs was quoted as saying "Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
- unlimiteditions, on 08/28/2008, -2/+19cambob, are you clueless?
- LumpOfCole, on 08/28/2008, -0/+15He did die actually, but he bought a ChapelCare Protection Plan from his local Jesus Store a couple years back and was up and running again in no time.
- swicken, on 08/28/2008, -4/+19To be fair, Huffington Post linked to gawker as well....
- Suzilla, on 08/28/2008, -1/+16Then he'd be quoting (or plagiarizing) Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain.)
- MacParrot, on 08/28/2008, -1/+16Kim Il Jobs?
- Blandyman, on 08/28/2008, -0/+12WHY SO SERIOUS?
- Wargasmic, on 08/28/2008, -0/+11Glad I'm not the only one...
- Balanced, on 08/28/2008, -0/+11Well, Kim Jong Il is a bit arrogant, aggressive, and doesn't sound like a great guy to work for.
So, yes. Just not a very good one. - cboj, on 08/28/2008, -1/+12It not unusual to have pre written obits. Back when I worked for AOL they had a internal keyword REAGAN that went to an entire page pre layed out for when Reagan died. This was about 4 years before he finally did die
- Palaceguard, on 08/28/2008, -1/+12I thought he doesn't like announcing future products. oh, in this case a future death Obituary
- takamalak, on 08/28/2008, -0/+11Are YOU serious?
- totorototoro, on 08/28/2008, -2/+12Love to see who shorted the stock for this a.m.
- shredswithpiks, on 08/28/2008, -0/+10Doesn't the phrase "on the up and up" refer to someone being truthful and legitimate, not healthy?
- MacParrot, on 08/28/2008, -0/+10He should print it out and then hold it up like a newspaper aka Dewey Defeats Truman
- caulkrocket, on 08/28/2008, -0/+9Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave.
- redwallhp, on 08/28/2008, -1/+10Lies, damned lies, and obituaries?
- ericthegreat, on 08/28/2008, -2/+11Digg, please, please add an option to block certain sites. I'm tired of seeing stories from Huffingtonpost.com take up the front page every day.
- BossKey, on 08/28/2008, -0/+9It's standard practice in the news media.
- StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -3/+12Apple taking someone elses product and claiming it for themselves? No Wai!
- phoomp, on 08/28/2008, -0/+8Something related to Steve Jobs is greatly exaggerated? How could that be???
- hakkola, on 08/28/2008, -2/+10Wow, that would ***** suck to see your obituary from a news source written and posted online while you're obviously still alive.
- jtown, on 08/28/2008, -0/+8He says he's not dead.
Yes he is.
I'm not.
He isn't.
Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
I'm getting better.
No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment. - KSUdesigner, on 08/28/2008, -1/+9Everybody dies at some point, of course this will be a true story in the future.
- PlugMyDuck, on 08/28/2008, -0/+8I guess it's a good thing I was slow to the party otherwise I would have tried posting that Steve Jobs died.
- batmanz, on 08/28/2008, -0/+7You definitely should have slowed it down. I'm pretty sure you missed an important point.
- peabody624, on 08/28/2008, -2/+8_underscores_
- lukemann, on 08/28/2008, -0/+6Just giant spinning beachball
- MacParrot, on 08/28/2008, -0/+6Did you know you have anger management issues?
No? Well then...***** you - MrSkills, on 08/28/2008, -0/+6Well, it would depend if they said good things or bad things about you!
