  Bloomberg runs the obit for the still-alive Steve Jobs.

- Wildly Inappropriate Bathroom Music Selections, August 2008 Edition
  published on in Humor, Music, Observations, Work
  Thanks, WJJZ, for Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" at 11:15 in the A.M. Nothing spices up a trip to the loo like that song, eh wot?
