Apple Disclosures About Jobs To Face SEC Review

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the they-really-hate-turtlenecks dept.

suraj.sun writes "US regulators are examining Apple Inc.'s disclosures about Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs's health problems to ensure investors weren't misled, a person familiar with the matter said. The Securities and Exchange Commission's review doesn't mean investigators have seen evidence of wrongdoing, the person said, declining to be identified because the inquiry isn't public. Bloomberg News reported last week that Jobs is considering a liver transplant as a result of complications after treatment for cancer, according to people who are monitoring his illness."

    Ahh FOSS zealots, gotta love you guys. Without your ilk the year of the linux desktop might have already happened. Carry on spreading your ill will against anyone that doesn't march in lockstep with you. All your enemies just love seeing you piss off (and piss on) any potential allies.

    A few days ago I was modded "flamebait" for saying he's dying and he knows it, because who announces that they are, in fact, healthy despite appearances.

    Now we hear he needs a liver transplant. Sorry, he knew his condition, he knows he's dying. Pancreatic cancer is no joke, and the treatment is harsh.

    While I do seriously feel for Mr. Jobs, I think he is being irresponsible to the employees and stock holders of Apple. Information should come sooner rather than later and as honest as possible. Maybe he's in denial, who knows, but he has a responsibility to make sure Apple continues regardless of his presence. Denying his condition is not a solution.

    So, for you people who feel you need to mod me flame bait because I state my opinion which may or may not be politically correct, do what you will.
