Might want to correct the photo
...Steve Jobs on a story about shoes?
DUH !
How about a closeup of the product?
It is hidden until the end and even then you cannot see it well.
This is now up here a second day with a mismatched photo. Steve Jobs has nothing to do with the story. Waaay to go AOL ! BTW - there seems to be a lot of interest - soooo many comments ! (3 total including this one).
The item featured is a nice product though, too bad it has been so poorly handled by AOL !
