Bloomberg issues obit for Jobs… by mistake

Bloomberg is one of the most respected financial media organizations in the world so it was quite a surprise to see a major mistake coming from the organization.

A few days ago, Bloomberg broke the news of Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ death and even posted a long, moving obituary. The problem is that Jobs, though facing some health issues, has not yet passed away.

Bloomberg has already issued a retraction and an apology, that frankly, I think was quite half baked. I can’t even believe they already wrote an obit for a man who’s still have a lot of fight in him.
