(Not) Dead, but not forgotten
How would you like to wake up and read your own obituary? It seems as though that's what happened to Steve Jobs.
I suppose this is the way it has to be now, so that when a well-known person dies the news can be instant and thorough at the same time. Still, it seems a bit sad that journalism has come to the point where one has to think ahead to death as a way to stay on top of business. And doesn't this get in the way of someone who would like to write his or her own obituary? I guess people can't even get the jump on word of their own demise anymore...
