His actual name is Christopher. He changed it when a guy in a mascot suit called him Christian by mistake, and he got confused and decided that must be his new name. He's very suggestible and once smashed his PS3 for a hoax offer of money.

It's tragic, but I'm a little annoyed that most news sources (including ones I use, like Hacker News) are just going to be saturated to uselessness for a week or so.

I suspect Steve Jobs would have been annoyed, too.

What better opportunity for the NYPD to forcibly remove the Wall Street protesters?

Can't possibly be as fucking bad as when the iPad came out.

Never mind. The top 20 stories all have his fucking name in them. Might have to use HN filtered against "steve," "jobs," and "apple."

Also today, Fred Shuttlesworth -- the guy who told Martin Luther King he should maybe consider bringing his protests to Birmingham.
