Business news spreads fast these days, and reports this morning that Apple CEO Steve Jobs had suffered a heart attack moved like wildfire across the Web.
Apple moved quickly to refute the report, which was posted on CNN's citizen journalism site called iReport.
Apple - unlike United Airlines a few weeks ago - was able to prevent major damage to its stock price from the report. United was recently burned when an old story about its bankruptcy surfaced on a Florida newspaper's Web site and quickly made its way to Wall Street.
Apple's stock dropped more than $10 a share immediately after the heart attack report, but has since rebounded, making up nearly all of that loss.
