D'après Bloomberg (site de news etc.), Steve Jobs est mort. Mais commencez pas à pleurer devant votre iPhone ou iPod voir Mac, c'est bel et bien faux. Ça s'appelle une jolie boulette dans notre milieu... :-) . C'est honteux.

Le site a en fait affiché pendant un court laps de temps un billet annonçant le décès de Jobs, accompagné d’un texte retraçant sa vie, avant de se rétracter rapidement.

Steve Jobs: Still Not Dead. Film at 11.: "Filed under: Apple Corporate

Bloomberg seems to be having an extremely slow news day. Its obituary update for Steve Jobs has turned awry. The obituary, a copy of which was sent to Gawker, contains a list of contacts that could be used for an extended story.

It used to be that Dell would start PC price wars just to gain market share and punish its competitors. Sure, profit margins would suffer a little, but Dell's efficient manufacturing operation ensured it could still make money while rivals bled.

No longer.

Apple has been granted a U.S. patent for technology that could very well be used for developing a touch screen based Apple computer or tablet.

Tablet PCs, though existent, have failed to take off in the past partly because the supporting software was not advanced enough. Apple might just overcome those hurdles and maybe we would get a tablet that would define the future course for tablets. Even though Microsoft's Surface computer provides a very good touch-technology, its intended use is for very specific and tailored applications and not for a general purpose operating system running a variety of applications.

AppleInsider carried a few photos that show what Apple is working on for the tablet.

Today, IE is the most out-of-date web browser, but in November, Microsoft will step up with the new IE 8. It supports higher standards of web 2.0 and the user-interface is cleaned-up with more minor features. It's currently in beta for developers. The new IE will be available for Windows, Mac and Linux in November. Go to Microsoft.com to download and find out more.

Immer wieder ein Spaß, Webseiten von Gooooogle übersetzen zu lassen, heute eine Story von den Vintage Apple News, die jede Woche auf nette Ebay-Auktionen für Retros hinweisen:

Si los hay despistados. Alguien dentro de la redacción de Bloomberg ha actualizado el obituario de Steve Jobs pero éste ha sido publicado por accidente.

Dentro de las cosas que menciona el mismo están los contactos a quienes entrevistar por su cercanía con Steve o relación con el medio, entre ellos destacan:

HVis du også er en af de mange mennesker, der på et tidpsunkt har siddet i kø på de tyske motorveje, med næsen mod syden, har du sikkert også tænkt på hvor dejligt det IKKE er altid at køre i bil.

Som regel går de første mange timer fint... Der er masser at give sig til - hvis ikke man lige kører kan man altid høre lidt musik, læse eller vende verdensituationen. Det føles dog alligevel ofte som om tiden er spændt. For inderst inde ved man godt at den 22 timers køretur, der ligger foran ikke nødvendigvis er så hyggeligt et bekendskab. For som regel er den sidste kryds- og tværs løst efter Hamburg og hørebøfferne gør efterhånden så ondt i ørene, at man er nød til at tage en pause.

Tonight will be a good night for Barack Obama. Tonight he will make his mark at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Denver, Co. As so many before him in this country paved the way for a better tomorrow, tonight this american will pave the way for a better today.

"Godspeed." -Former First Lady & senator Hillary Rodham Clinton after her terrific speech this week.
