Round Up: 9th October

Steve Jobs:  1955-2011

Welcome fans to your weekly round up of stories from the last 7 days. The main story of the week was the sad news of the death of Apple Co-founder and Chairman, Steve Jobs, on Wednesday. It is a testament to Apple's current popularity that people were so aware of who he was and were saddened by his death, something that may not have been true 20 years ago when Apple were struggling and Jobs was at his new company,  NeXT Computer Inc. He will always be remembered as the man who brought the iMac, iPod and iPhone to the world, when he returned to the company in 1996. He should also be remembered for the brilliant work he did helping to turn Pixar into the fantastic film producing studio it is today. Anyway enough with this depressing stuff, here at JC/DC we aim to brighten up your week, rather than darken it like all these "Real" news outlets tend to do. So on to the weird news!
