Bloomberg accidentally releases obit

Gawker reports that Bloomberg accidentally released an obituary for Apple CEO Steve Jobs onto its financial newswire.
The obit was being updated when it suddenly showed up on the wire and then disappeared. Gawker says, "the obituary contains nothing to indicate Bloomberg had new information on Jobs's health, at least in our quick skim.

The item was never meant for publication and has been retracted. —Editor: Joe Winski, Cesca Antonelli
