How else would those multi-page, chock full of picture articles released just minutes after his passing? It's an open secret that magazines and newspapers keep obits on anyone famous nearing death on ice until it's time to add a couple of sentences about the timing and reason for the event and what the family said. One thing I've noticed is that some of the articles name his biological parents, which I suppose was something the journalists knew but kept silent until his death. It's interesting to see what the media will keep quiet and what they won't. We can expect a whole slew of books, some rehashed with added chapters, some new from scratch. Who can say if they are truthful or made up? (My favorite are The Little Kingdom and West of Eden. I'm more interested in the earlier days of Apple, as those had the most impact on the industry. The later stuff is all about making disposable, locked in, toys that barely last more than a year, and are hyped beyond all reason with prices to match. There's plenty of good coming out of Apple, but it's mixed in with the bad.)
