Steve Jobs Undergoes Cancer Surgery
Zycom writes "Reuters reports that doctors successfully removed a cancerous tumor from the pancreas of Apple CEO Steve Jobs. In an e-mail he sent out from his hospital bed after the surgery he explained the disease, saying, "I had a very rare form of pancreatic cancer called an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, which represents about 1 percent of the total cases of pancreatic cancer diagnosed each year, and can be cured by surgical removal if diagnosed in time (mine was)." He will not need to have any chemotherapy or radiation therapy and has an excellent prognosis. While he is recuperating, Tim Cook, head of worldwide sales and operations, will run the company."

If I am wrong, don't mod me down, respond and prove me wrong.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Apple CEO Steve Jobs was found dead in his Cupertino, CA home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to technology. Truly an American icon.

It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
Maybe the new guy has a set of balls and we'll get a 2 button mouse now that the primary obstacle is temporarily out of the way.
