Currently up for auction at Sotheby’s for between €260,000 and €340,000 (complete with full documentation including a rare ‘pink slip’ registered to Job’s home address and a BMW branded Motorola flip phone which Jobs hated).

The Web & eCommerce Awards have a special place in the Irish web community – because nominations are open to the public, they give smaller companies a chance for recognition.

A Breaking Bad parody by Aaron Simpson for Youtube’s Geek Week in which:
A terminal cancer diagnosis sends Steve Jobs into beastmode, and into the lab with Jony Ive to cook up the most addictive substance known to man.
It’s in terribly bad taste. But you could always cut it with a little smack.
One year after his death, Venus – the luxury superyacht designed by Steve Jobs and Philippe Starck – makes its debut at Aalsmeer in the Netherlands.
We’d like to think the horn sounds like this.

An advertising campaign launched recently by the Taiwanese manufacturers of Android tablet Action Pad.
Steve Jobs-alike Ken (complete with inappropriate angel wings) sez: “Thank God I finally get to play other tablets.”
