Excerpt:

Perhaps it’s not the best day here on the U.S. East Coast to be talking about the debut of boats, but Steve Jobs’ 250-foot yacht has been unveiled off The Netherlands in the city of Aalsmeer. Jobs, who died a year ago, commissioned the yacht more than six years ago. “I know that it’s possible that I will die and leave [wife] Laurene with a half-built boat. But I have to keep going on it. If I don’t it’s an admission that I’m about to die,” Jobs told biographer Walter Issacson. As he did with any product, Jobs tinkered with the design for years, according to the book. Designed by Philippe Starck, “Venus,” as the boat is named, is 70 to 80 meters (about 230 to 260 feet) long with an aluminum exterior and 10-foot high windows.

Key:

• Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
• The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
• The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
