Last Call

Oops!  Getting Ahead Of The Facts Edition brought to you courtesy of TMZ:
CBS's web series -- "What's Trending" -- tweeted an item which said, "Reports say that Steve Jobs has passed away. Stay tuned for more updates."

But almost immediately, they yanked the item and tweeted an apology of sorts: "Reports of Steve Job's [sic] death completely unconfirmed."

There is a vast difference between unconfirmed and not true, but so far other reports have failed to confirm Jobs has taken a turn for the worse.

Of course, Bloomberg accidentally published their obituary-in-the-works while updating the content, and  you can always check www.isstevejobsdead.com (their status is currently "nope") in a Google search to make sure.  Poor guy.  If he is as sick as he seems, it has to be unreal to know his health is being tracked so closely.

Oops!
