Steve Jobs Taking Medical Leave of Absence
Uttini writes "Apple CEO Steve Jobs has just announced that he is taking a medical leave of absence, according to a release issued by the company today. While it's unclear what the reason is for the medical leave, Jobs' previous medical history includes pancreatic cancer as well as a liver transplant. While Jobs is out, Tim Cook is to be responsible for all of Apple's day to day operations."
He's not my fellow. If he saw me starving on the street he'd stroll past. He's a repressive censor. I don't wish death on him, I only wish someone else would run Apple. Of course, they will probably run it into the ground again, but that arguably will increase freedom in computing so I wouldn't shed any tears.

Steve Ballmer sits in his swivel chair, reading slashdot on his oversized jumbotron, petting his hairless cat.
Steve (evil overlord voice): "Yes. Good. Everything is going according to plan. Soon I will rule the world!"

This is not quite true. Jobs doubted that he could have children so he was not *quick* to acknowledge her. And I doubt anyone will (or should) be quick to take responsibility for the children born from such occasional sleepovers.
Anyway, her name was/is Lisa and Jobs calling their first proper computer "Lisa" kind of contradicts the claim that he "refused to acknowledge" her.
What the hell are you talking about? Obama is the best President you've had over there in a long long time and you don't even realize it.
