Just wondering if anyone has an estimate of how much money was lost and made as some sold, God bless these simple folk who keep driving the price of stocks down so others can buy, buy, buy, making more money, especially from a solid high value company like Apple. Thank you fearful "fools" whose strategy is upside down and backwards. Maybe they keep score and feel great when in any year they losses are smaller.

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS;

"I am removing any periodicals and websites associated with organization from my computer."

The results may be unorganized.

someone should let the Bloomberg folks know that in proofing the article, they'll want to fix the part that says "who's tyranny" (should be whose)..

Very well written. An article titled "How Steve Jobs' obit got published" which in no detail explains how Steve Jobs' obit was published. Fascinating as always, Fortune.

ex ped: There wasn't much detail to report. According to Bloomberg PR: "…It should have been sent to Bloomberg’s internal wire, but instead it moved on the external wire that carried it to Bloomberg subscribers."

Fidel is not dead, he is hiding with Osama Bin Laden in a cave in Pakistan. ARod should go hide there too, because he never comes up clutch…oh wait, that's for a different blog.

CNN and other orgs have what's called a "dead file." Those notes complete with phone numbers and contacts are ALWAYS there. I remember reading CNN's dead file for both the pope and Reagan. What astounded me was that I could (as an employee) see phone numbers of senators, celebrities and other dignitaries through an unrestricted posting in the iNews system. It doesn't shock me that other orgs keep dead files either. Planning for the unexpected is what makes news orgs stand apart when the unexpected does actually occur.

I see that many of us can’t really read and understand this article correctly. The author isn’t really said that Castro is dead. Read it carefully one more time.
