From the grave testimony of the week

Three years after his death, Steve Jobs held a federal courtroom transfixed on Friday, as attorneys played a video of his testimony in a class-action lawsuit against Apple.

Jobs was pale and hoarse during the deposition given a few months before his death in 2011, but defended Apple against allegations they were inflating iPod prices by locking music lovers into using its players.
