Dow Jones Mistakenly Reports Google Buying Apple, Sends Internet Into A Frenzy

[Click here to view the video in this article] The Dow Jones newswires had a bit of a shakeup this morning after a “technical error” led to the announcement of some rather ridiculous fake news. Dow Jones reported that Google would be buying Apple for $9 billion and that the deal was struck between Alphabet CEO Larry Page and the late Steve Jobs. The report went on to say that Google employees would be moving into Apple’s “fancy headquarters” and that Google employees said, “Yay.” Dow Jones issued a statement, “Please disregard the headlines that ran on Dow Jones Newswires between 9:34 a.m. ET and 9:36 a.m. ET. Due to a technical error, the headlines were published. All of those headlines are being removed from the wires. We apologize for the error.” “Dow Jones regrets the erroneous headlines published on its Dow Jones Newswires this morning between 9:34 and 9:36 A.M. ET. The items, which were never intended for publication, were accidentally published as part of a technology test,” said William Lewis, CEO of Dow Jones. “I take today's inadvertent and erroneous publication of testing materials extremely seriously. While immediate corrective action has been taken, I have also ordered a review of news and technology processes in this area.” $AAPL $GOOG The algos will be puzzled http://pic.twitter.com/ReYWZorkZc — Trader 53 (@trader_53) October 10, 2017 [via Mashable , opening image via YouTube ] ...
