How did you learn about Steve Jobs' death?

Returning to the subject of a post on another thread early this morning, I learned about Steve Jobs' death on Facebook -- not on a newspaper's website. How did you first hear the news?

  5. Like 12:58PM, I got an AP mobile alert on my iPhone. Also how I learned Sarah Palin wasn't running for President. One piece of horrible news and one piece of great news.

  6. News alert from The New York Times on my almost-10-year-old Mac G4. Love him or hate him, he's an example of how one person can change the world.

  11. If anything, Steve Jobs was an innovator. Someone who likes to play with technology and create products that everyone could enjoy. That’s actually what got him originally fired from Apple, the company he founded.. http://jslim28.blogspot.com/
