Time Machine fools media with Dennis Ritchie obituary

To be fair, he died less than a week after Steve Jobs, so most people wouldn’t have heard about his death.

He wasn’t as well-known or interesting (read: assholish) as Steve Jobs, but his contributions to computer science were far more impactful. Even if people are getting the date of death wrong, I’m still glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves.
