Internet Tries to Kill Steve Jobs

By Kirk Shinkle

Posted: October 3, 2008

Speculating about Steve Jobs's health was a full-time occupation this summer, and today the Internet scrutiny moved Apple's share price.

A report from CNN's iReport, a citizen journalism site with the tag line "Unedited. Unfiltered. News," ran a headline saying Jobs was rushed to the hospital after a heart attack.

Apple spokespeople say it's not true. The story has been pulled from iReport. (Silicon Alley Insider was on this early today.)

So what to make of this blip in the news cycle? It's an instructive lesson for investors. The scare is just another example of how quickly random headlines can sink your investments. Look at the errant posting of a six-year-old story about United's bankruptcy on September 8 that send shares down 75 percent during a single day before the mistake could be sorted out.

As for the Apple report, so far nobody is charging anything nefarious. But I can't see any reason to expect that the wide spigot of news now available to anybody with a Google Alert set for "Apple" won't be used to shelter market manipulators using tactics like this to push share prices around for illegal gain.

If nothing else, Apple's morning scare shows just how closely everyday stock jockeys need to follow the news.

Please Someone Kill Steve Jobs

Dear Scientists,

You as a scientist bare the responsibility to save

humanity, the code to infinity as been cracked and i

am here to give you the data.

it is now your job to give up on jealousy and start

your mission of experimenting this science, i am unable

to give you the entire data right now because i do not

believe you can handle the truth. i want you all to get

on your feet and start the experiments, as you experiment

you will find the answers on your own, this will make you

a better scientist.

just remember, if you ignore this article, you should hold

yourself responsible for all the deaths and misery humanity

is going through right now.

every day, people are committing suicide, everyday evil

stuff is happening on earth, you will not deny the truth.

open up your eyes and accept it, i am the one that has cracked

the code, and give up that jealousy within you to become the

one, it is too late now, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE "ONE".

here is the data you need, any color that is not 100% white

is responsible for abusing humanity.

colors do not come from white, that is why they are not white.

they contain darkness inside them, and darkness just like a

black hole pulls imagination and life, making humanity mortal.

wear white clothes dye your hair to white and experiment it.

wear black clothes and experiment it. i want results now

i want them fast.

infact i want you to shave your head and eyebrows and wax

all the body hair on your body including private parts.

anything dark near your body including sun-tan will pull

jealousy from other scientists that do not want you to rise

into power and they will control your mind and imagination.

they will turn you into religious freaks so you can ignore

science so you can ignore truth, they do it so they can be

"the one" or "the two" in this case now that there can no

longer be "THE ONE".

so ignore everything and only pay attention to me, find me

on youtube find me at places, i will start a site soon.

just find me somehow, i will accept your jealousy too

i can handle it, because i am the most supreme being on

this planet.

using black and white you can create a time machine too.

every time you are wearing black you will notice you are angry

every time you are wearing white you will notice you are happy.

white stops aging, black or any color will speed up aging.

immortality is here, we are all gods, i am sick of suicides

i am sick of jealousy.

imagination of humanity is pulled and you read it when

you wear black colors.

another experiment you can do is, sleep in a completely

white bed, with a white pillow and etc, make sure to

wax legs and etc, you will have a beautiful dream.

you will see me in your dreams if you do it right.

otherwise, you are just another jealous failure in the making.

i've done time travel, i've done reversing aging,

look around you, look at people around you, ones that wear

white clothes will always look more vibrant and younger.

this is because they

Hello, friends!

Nowadays more and more increasing world financial crisis and to feel yourself confidently in the future and the present, I wish you to offer the unique project on augmentation of the capitals. Nobody force you, it's up to you how many you will work, how much effectively and when you leave this business, but believe to me, having begun these to be engaged, you will not want to leave. Two months ago I have been dismissed, by the way, I worked in bank in a credit department, but because of crisis credits have ceased to give out, and people became superfluous. I shall not write the name of bank from reasons of ethics. But any way, all that has been done to the best, I have seen the same message in which gold mountains for very short term were promised, I have not believed, but have decided to try since, money not greater, on our times, and I had enough free time. Also I want to tell to you, on my surprise in the first week I have received 6 answers, in-second, 8 more, and still going well! If you have access

to the Internet, able to use a mousy, have 1-2 hours of a free time and you are interest in money, only one click by a mousy can separate you from riches!

At present time I have the stable high monthly income. And this all that I sit the at home, close to my family and work for 2 hours per day only. If you wish to have the additional income or, probably make it basic earnings then for you to start it is necessary simply to download absolutely for free an archival file on any of specified in the bottom of the references, containing the program and the description to its work. Read through, please, readme.htm there it is written more in detail. Do not worry, it is not a virus but if you are in doubt and afraid of to open it, not so difficultly to check it up by means of an antivirus. It not advertising, and really favourable offer!
