Last week, Bloomberg<\/a> was apparently updating Steve Jobs’ obituary (you know the one, it says to the world you’ve officially died …), and in the process – published it. At this point investors were, understandably, said to be rattled and shook up about the news – as any true investor would be …<\/p>\n

The obituary was available online, for about 5 hours. Bloomberg has since pulled the obituary apologising profusely for it’s original publication:<\/p>\n

\n“Story Referencing Apple Was Sent in Error by Bloomberg News
\nAug. 27 (Bloomberg) – An incomplete story referencing Apple
\nInc. was inadvertently published by Bloomberg News at 4:27 p.m.
\nNew York time today. The item was never meant for publication and
\nhas been retracted.”<\/p>\n

-Editor: Joe Winski, Cesca Antonelli\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What the action does prove however, is that Bloomberg actually has the obituary on record as a priority publication in the case of an extended story.<\/p>\n

Please Note:<\/strong> Steve Jobs is not dead (Thankfully).<\/p>\n
