Steve Jobs's legacy as a businessman, visionary, and tech pioneer is firmly in place. He has made, to be blunt about it, a real boatload of money in his career. (Estimated net worth: $8.3 billion.) But the question is: What will he do with it? Unlike many of his ultra-ultrawealthy cohort, Jobs doesn't have a particularly clear record of philanthropy, writes Andrew Ross Sorkin in DealBook. Or actua... more.

Michele Bachmann's hair, shown here on Michele Bachmann.Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images She's supposedly replaced Sarah Palin as the GOP woman whose hair they most guiltily covet. The auburn look, says one Manhattan stylist who has seen an uptick in requests for the Michele, "is safe, but not soccer mom. It's sexy." The look probably runs between $150 and $300: It's not cheap to look like a f... more.

Accompanied by his ever-supportive wife, Anne Sinclair, he drove himself to the headquarters of the International Monetary Fund, where he had a short meeting with his replacement, Christine Lagarde. Later, he addressed an audi... more.

Shocking pink.Photo: Chad Rachman/New York Post Today's Post features the story of a harrowing standoff currently unfolding inside a landmarked brownstone on Brooklyn's Fulton Street: The owners of Ladies and Gents, a "schlock jewelry store" located in the space that once housed apparently non-schlocky restaurant Gage & Tollner, have disrespected their 119-year-old building by hanging hot-pink p... more.

Rupert Murdoch and his son James will be questioned again about the phone-hacking scandal that has enveloped their company, but this time it will be under oath in front of a High Court judge. In an inquiry set to focus on "the culture, practices and ethics of the press in the context of the latter's relationship with the public, police and politicians," the Murdochs, likely along with alleged co-... more.

Photo: Oli Scarff/Getty Images Back in 2010, the international news media was a WikiLeaks-processing machine, churning out endless analysis of the organization's stolen cachet of diplomatic cables, not to mention constant stories about the group's meaning, methods, and leadership. However, now that the initial furor has died down, reporters are only interested in referring to the cables "when pub... more.

Photo: Harold Cunningham/Getty Images Yesterday afternoon, trailed by paparazzi wagons, a decidedly more cheery Dominique Strauss-Kahn and wife Anne Sinclair headed to LaGuardia to catch a flight to Washington D.C., where the couple have a multi-million-dollar home. There, DSK is scheduled to swing by his former domain at the IMF. (Earlier this week, all criminal charges against the former IMF ma... more.

Andrew Ross Sorkin.Photo: AP Andrew Ross Sorkin is about as much of a household name as a print journalist can be: So much so, in fact, that he's moved over to television part-time, co-anchoring CNBC's Squawk Box. The precocious reporter made his name with a series of Wall Street scoops, culminating in Too Big to Fail. His reward at the Times was the expansion of Dealbook under his editorship, me... more.

Roberto Arango.Photo: va.gov For politicians whose naked photos wind up in the public sphere, there are a few standard excuses they turn to most often. There's the classic "that's not me," of course. There's the "I was hacked," which Anthony Weiner used successfully for a short time. And now Puerto Rican senator Roberto Arango has come up with maybe the best excuse we've ever heard, after nude ph... more.

Roberto Arango isn't alone. When anti-gay politicians, preachers, and activists are caught doing very gay things — such as having sex with men, let's say — they come up with some pretty dumb, albeit creative, excuses. It's not their fault, really. What kind of excuse wouldn't sound ludicrous in these situations? At least they tried, damn it. At least they tried. ul.fakePresNameHeader ... more.

Photo: Gary Miller/Splash News The man accused of kidnapping and drugging 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky before suffocating and dismembering him has been declared mentally competent to stand trial. Levi Aron pleaded not guilty in Brooklyn court today, despite having allegedly provided police with a confession. Last month, Aron's lawyer, who has since resigned, said his client hallucinates and hears voi... more.

?Ay, caramba!Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images Apparently the mayor is still basking in the warm glow of the overwhelmingly positive reception he got for his handling of Irene: This weekend, a woman named Rachel Figueroa-Levin was so amused at the mayor's persistent yet poorly accented use of Spanish at press conferences that she started a Twitter feed poking fun at Bloomberg, @ElBloombito.

Ready for his closeup.Photo: The Weather Channel via Getty Images On every TV station this morning, broadcasters were hot and heavy with anticipation for Hurricane Irene's arrival in New York. The moment we'd all been waiting for, what we'd re-planned our weekends around! Luckily, of course, Irene wasn't anything near the worst-case scenario. By the time the storm actually hit the city, it had ... more.

His wife and three of his kids, though, have turned up in Algeria, according to the government there. Speaking of interesting Qaddafi family news, that infant daughter of Qaddafi's who... more.

This week's New York is a double issue dedicated entirely to September 11, ten years later. After an opening essay by Frank Rich, entitled "Day's End," the rest of the magazine is made up of The Encyclopedia of 9/11, an A–Z remembrance of the people, places, pictures, and much more, that defined the days, weeks, and years following the fall of the Twin Towers. There's a lot to digest in the... more.
