If you're a subscriber to Bloomberg newswire, you may have been worried about the status of Apple's CEO as the news company inadvertently published an incomplete obituary Wednesday afternoon. It quickly retracted the story, but it's still morbidly interesting to give it a read.First of all, it's common practice for news organizations to have obituaries for prominent people already written, even if the person's healthy.
