I'm just curious if the death of Steve Jobs is getting publicized and covered outside the US as much as it is inside.

Why is that strange? He was known world-wide.

Just because he was from the US doesn't mean other parts of the world don't get news.

My first computer was an Apple, I got my first job because I knew how to use an apple. My phone is an iphone and I use an ipad almost everyday. Where would I be right now, if it wasn't for his vision and implementation of his ideas. RIP Steve Jobs.

I guess there is no awareness in the US generally of what news from there is reported here. It's quite a lot!
And of course the death of Steve Jobs - what a visionary! - is being reported. I am probably one of the few people who doesn't have an I-anything or use an Apple Mac, but that's not to say I'm unaware of these.
It's a sad end for him, and too young to die. I'm sure he would have had a lot more to contribute had he lived, and a bit ironic on the day that the new iphone was announced (here in the UK at least). But his legacy will surely live on.

Again, gee, who said they didn't?
I just wondered how widely covered the story was... And since I am not outside the US, I asked.

Who said other parts of the world don't get news? With the internet, we're pretty much all connected 24/7 globally.

Well of course. You're the one who claims to be socially savvy so I thought being on fb and Twitter you would have known this stuff.
You can also read the UK newspapers online too.

But sometimes it is nice to get a response from a live person who is actually there, versus guessing from an online news posting.

We know who Steve Jobs is on the other side of the Atlantic! It's in all the papers and on the news too!

Newsflash back to you gee... Unlike many Americans, I don't assume the world press revolves around American news stories, which is why, rather than making assumptions, I just asked a question I was curious about.

Hard to believe there's life outside the US, is it?
