Its a bit sad but the obituary is often the best article in the economist. In this case it was a very fitting tribute to a tech hero.

- jfb 15y agoI disagree, but that doesn't mean that I don't turn to the obituary page immediately on receipt of each week's issue. jfb: bringing down the median subscriber income of The Economist for 20 years.
- waterlesscloud 15y agoI've helped drag down the median for about 10 years myself. I wonder if their subscriber income stats aren't heavily bifurcated.
- ireadzalot 15y agoI always felt weird doing this. Almost always I turn to their Obit page when I get a new issue. Glad to know I am not the only one who does it.
- eru 15y agoI usually start with the funny letter to the editor. (Usually the last letter printed.)
- bodyfour 15y agoBased on the tone of the article I guess it was destined to be this weeks obituary, but Qaddafi died just before they went to press. So unfortunately it looks like dmr's obit is only online, unless they run it next week.
