Steve Jobs Health Worries Escalate

Posted by timothy on from the hope-he's-got-more-tricks-up-his-sleeve dept.

PolygamousRanchKid writes with this sad snippet from the San Francisco Chronicle: "We all know that Steve Jobs is sick. What's not known is how sick he is, and that's worrying investors of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) this morning, as well as everyone else. Jobs did have pancreatic cancer a few years ago, but he had a transplant and was able to come back to work. Last time, he gave some kind of time frame for returning to work. This time, he did not. Supposedly the National Enquirer is set to run pictures of Jobs with him looking frail and gaunt. Jobs was spotted leaving the Stanford Cancer Center in Palo Alto, California, according to RadarOnline.com."

    And possibly wasted a liver someone else could have used for a lot longer. Might have even cost someone their life to extend his a little. Would be interesting to see who was next in line for that organ.

    hopefully he'll go like the pharoahs and bring the marketing department along with him to the afterlife.

    I think Apple products are trendy crap. I can't stand the products or the users. I have an Android phone and I love it. I hope Android crushes iPhone. I also hope Steve gets better! I am still bothered by the way he pretended to invent multitasking instead of just admitting that he was catching up to Android, but good god people please quit wishing bad things on the guy. Let's just hope that he (along with people we don't even know) can be happy, in general. Hate the game, not the player. Or something?

    It is now trollish to speculate on the possible outcome of things if he had not been rich?

    I wish him the best, and hope that this was an organ no one else could have used. I just am enough of a realist to recognize that this is probably not true.

    It's more fun to watch him die.

    Is he receiving care under Obamacare? He's getting up there in age so the death panel will rule he's not eligible for extraordinary treatment.
