The Fake Steve Jobs Heart Attack Rumor.
Wow! Sorry we’ve been AWOL for a little while. You know, life happens.
Anyway, what did you all think of the false rumors regarding a supposed heart attack suffered by Steve Jobs. They caused Apple’s stock to drop a bit before recovering after Apple issued a denial. Apparently even the SEC is investigating.
The rumor started on CNN’s citizen journalism site. Some fear this will have implications for bloggers and other news hounds not associated with a big outfit. CNN bears some responsibility for not posting an obvious disclaimer on the site.
