Last but not least: Jobs origin spreads on the net
Alongside the images of the dead refugee child and the Hungarian «beating reporter,» a new story is making the rounds on the Internet: The biological father of Apple guru Steve Jobs, who died in 2011, was a Syrian migrant.
Jobs' father, Abdulfattah Jandali, is said to have emigrated to the United States in 1954 to study there. His mother gave birth to Steve Jobs in 1955 but gave him up for adoption because her conservative American family did not accept the Syrian man (and thus a marriage). So little Steve grew up with Paul and Clara Jobs in Mountain View, California.
A tweet to that effect by David Galbraith from early September is currently going viral around the world. For example, the Huffington Post, the Chicago Tribune, the Daily News, and The Independent have already picked up on this gentle reminder. (uma)
