In Memoriam: The First Great Tech Journalist
Guy Kewney, one of the first and best technology journalists, passes away.
The best testament to a man's success in any field is what his peers and colleagues have to say about him. Guy had many friends and admirers in technology, and his passing is sad and shocking, although many were aware of his long battle against cancer.

It is just being reported that Peter Steele, lead singer of goth-metal band, Type O Negative, has died, apparently of heart failure. He was 48.
Report: Peter Steele of Type O Negative, dead « EarSucker
TYPE O NEGATIVE - Peter Steele an Herzversagen gestorben! | Musiknews/Aktuelle Musiknachrichten - whiskey-soda.de | Musikmagazin fuer Metal, Rock, Gothic, Indie, Punk, HC, EMO und Alternative Musik
