edit war

On Wikipedia, an edit war is where someone changes an entry, and then someone else changes it back. These two then keep changing the entry back and forth rather than discussing the matter on the talk page.
Recently, and edit war on Wikipedia's 'British Isles' entry over whether it was right to include Ireland in the British isles led to textbook pbulisher Fallons to remove all references to the 'British isles' from the Irish editions of their atlases.

carbo-loading

Eating a high-carbohydrate meal the evening before participating in a sports event in order to have lots of energy on the day.

steve jobs

An evil bastard and CEO of Apple Computers.

Bill Gates is in the process of giving 85% of his fortunate to charity. Linus Torvalds single-handedly invented Linux, and made it free and open-source. Jobs has done neither of these things.

When Jobs' own company, NeXt, failed miserably, he returned to Apple as CEO. At the time, several other companies were manufacturing MacOS-compatible computers; Jobs revoked their licenses. He also put the kibosh on a project to develop a PC-compatible version of MacOS, the result of both of these actions being that if you want to use MacOS, you have to buy a Mac.
If it wasn't for Steve Jobs, more people would use MacOS because they wouldn't have to spend lots of money on a computer they can't modify and isn't compatible with lots of peripherals.

If I had a Death Note, I would write 'Steve Jobs - death by diarrhoea' in it.
