An indication of the extent to which people in today's world are prone to hypocrisy is evidenced by the way they react after someone dies.

The scum of the Internet have very little respect for anything -natural disasters, significant milestones even the passing of important people are all grist to the mill of the spammers and malware merchants; so it is with the death of Steve Jobs.

With the passing of the late and great Steve Jobs, his child Apple Inc is no doubt looking to the future. Jobs has left a great corporate legacy, with an amazing line-up of products, a huge bank balance and a seemingly unassailable market position. However, when a dreamer dies so does his dream and that is scaring the market witless.

Under the late Steve Jobs, Apple was known for being fiercely private about its products, plans and ideas.

Apple co-founder, chairman, and former CEO Steve Jobs has died. The news, although not unexpected, marks the passing of an era and will send shockwaves around the IT world.
