    When Rick Astley dies noone will believe it, and getting anyone to click on a link to his obituary will be impossible.

    Re: Steve Jobs died

    I thought it was fishy that I saw "Steve Jobs is Dead" here and not everywhere else, like CNet and such. Didn't realize his obituary had accidently gotten posted. lol Indeed a big whoops from that place...that's what they get for having obituaries on file rather than writing them when the person actually does pass on. Lazy !

    Technically its probably the opposite of lazy and actually really prepared/organized, especially when you consider all the detail required relatively quickly when a high profile person does pass on.
    Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
    Enwrought with golden and silver light,
    The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
    Of night and light and the half-light,
    I would spread the cloths under your feet:
    But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
    I have spread my dreams under your feet;
    Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

    Re: Steve Jobs died

    Well don't forget the man who died and had a rumour about him on wiki at the time... the papers knew so little about him so they used wiki for his obituary, and because it was in 2 newspapers it was taken as truth in wiki......

    Re: Steve Jobs died

    Someone did the same to Alfred Nobel in 1888, He was horrified that his invention of dynamite for mining etc was being used in the new war machines of the western world, and for negative purposes.

    He saw the obituary and set about over the last 8 years of his life, trying to make things 'right' by giving prizes every year for 'good things' done in the fields of literature, sciences, peace etc. now known as the Nobel prize.

    Heard that this morning and was very interested. Call it 'useful information for a pub quiz' sometime?

    Take it easy.
