That must be a deprecated version of his will. The new coffin is supposed to be a single piece of curved glass with an aluminum base.
iRP Steve.

In unrelated news, a squirrel in Central Park was this morning observed to be installing small devices on acorns which prevented other squirrels from eating those acorns without permission. The squirrel was quoted as saying that it wished to "streamline the acorn experience" for other squirrels in order to remove the "distraction" of being able to eat acorns however they wanted to.

Also, he didn't live in Cupertino.
Slashdot is sending him away the only way they know how... inaccurately.
But hey, I was half expecting "No pulse. Less respiration than Ellison. Lame."

Rumour has it that his pacemaker needed a new battery, but when they opened him up to change it ...

I bet the top execs at Samsung are all shitting themselves now.
I mean, one of them has to have a copycat death - preferably the one closest to 56 years old.
RIP Steve.
