Do you know how many of these rumours have been going around and how long they've been going around for? Of course it's probably not real.DeadLocked said:Don't know if it is real or not but it's delicate ground.
And yet people are still posting in the thread.Argentum Vir said:Yes, that's been established.Urza said:It's the National fucking Enquirer.
Depravo said:Only six weeks? That means he'll only see one more new iPhone generation and 2 more new iPod generations.
So it seems. Not sure what the big deal is, but a stimulating discussion is great either way.Urza said:And yet people are still posting in the thread.Argentum Vir said:Yes, that's been established.
Big example of this would be Mugabi.cwstjdenobs said:Well tabloids are the same all over the world, such a shame. I really like the "Doctor" giving a terminal diagnosis from photo's. By that logic there's a bugger load of kids having unnecessary surgery. Their Dr's should have just looked at pictures of them playing and decided they are healthy...
Also I've known people be given a couple of months and live years. Hopefully, if this is true, it's such a case.
While I truly do sympathize for someone suffering from a serious condition, and wish them well, he is the CEO of a major corporation. When you choose to take such a position, you're responsible for the financial well-being of the company, which affects employees, share-holders, partners, etc. When a 'personal' matter gets to the point where it potentially affects the company, it's no longer personal. It affects all the people connected with that company.Jamstruth said:This relentless coverage of his illness is kinda nasty. Hope they leave him alone if he is terminal. Hell even if he isn't its disrespectful.
A world where Steve Jobs is dead? I'm confused by this statement, there has always been cancer and so the world your kids grew up in is the same as the one you grew up in.bazamuffin said:but right now Im more worried about how much of a mess the world as a whole is becoming, and its not showing any signs of letting up. I fear for my future and the world that my 3 kids are gonna grow up in.

+1. I've totally agreed to his right to keep the details out of the public domain from the start. But no, forget any common decency and start circling like a bunch of vultures. It's not like he's fucking Jade Goody and asked for it. Grrr
If it makes Apples shares drop too much the problem isn't Jobs's health and lack of details (for the company/shareholders), it's an over reliance by them on the cult of personality of his to shift products for a little too long now. It's not like he's the only thing going for them.
