I got a new phone this week. It’s not an iPhone, but it looks pretty damn iPhone-y in many ways: without getting into boggy legal territory, let’s just say that if the iPhone had never existed, it’s quite possible my phone wouldn’t have existed either (or would at least have looked and felt and behaved rather differently).
Meanwhile, in China, they’ve been selling bootleg iPhone 5s in eager anticipation of a launch that never happened. So if you’re in Beijing, 28 quid will get you a simulacrum of something that not only doesn’t exist, but has not yet existed, and may never exist.
PS: Lefty analysis of Jobs’s life and the (over?-)reaction to its end.

It's a funny old World. Next thing we'll hear is Julian Assange sueing himself for releasing his autobiography.
It is a funny old world - next thing we'll believe that this bloke was the patron saint of commerce.
