Biz Break: Apple snobs, the Bay Area is your capital

Lead:
Today: Nearly one-third of Bay Area adults own an Apple product. Silicon Valley's unemployment rate jumps in March, but so does the number of jobs. Plus: Google, AMD shares dive. Another deal for Oracle. SV tech stocks.
Roundup Leads: They are doing a longer list and focusing on more than just one thing.

  1. Well, it's kind of like a roundup lead, but this really functions more like a long subhead to the title than like a lead.

    Normally, a roundup lead is used when no one element of a story (usually on a meeting or event) stands out. This just identifies the three stories that will be discussed in the column that follows.

    What don't you try again.
