Journal rk's Journal: RIP Steve Jobs 8

Journal by rk

I just read some sad news on Bloomberg news - Apple CEO Steve Jobs was found dead in his California home this morning. There weren't any more details.

      I know. The link I posted was to a story about the mix-up. My journal post is a long-standing Slashdot troll about someone dying unexpectedly (the subject of the troll is usually author Stephen King). This is also why I posted it to "It's funny.
