Is Steve Jobs sick again, or just thin?

Started by mathewi · 1 year ago

I’ll leave it to others much more informed than I am to parse through what Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced at the developers conference (although I am glad to hear that we Canucks will be getting a 3G iPhone soon, along with dozens of other countries). But I have to say that one thi ... Continue reading »

  • Steve has cancer. I heard from an insider, it is bad and its pancreal. I feel very sorry for him.
  • Yeah he "HAD" pancreatic cancer in 2003/2004 and he recovered. Why do you feel sorry for him?
  • What´s wrong with you Mzjpuff, you are an idiot. Can´t you see how thin he is and even if he was on a diet he looks old for his age. He is not even 60.
  • Well, we had those stories going around two years ago:

    so... what? I think he's just thin. Stressed out, maybe. Nothing to worry about. Or so I tell myself *sigh*

    Just remembering what happend when Apple had lost him the last time - it was ugly. Ugly indeed. We would be stuck with Linux and Google again.
  • I don't know about this rare form but my boss was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last April and passed away in December. It's a very aggressive cancer. I'm glad to here that Jobs had an operable form and I wish him good health. He sure seemed to have energy, notwithstanding the weight loss.
  • Okay - He's suffering from a bug, oh, we meant he's on a strict Vegan diet, oh we meant he's working too hard...

    C'mon Apple, make up our minds...
  • All I can say is, it scares me. I am a huge Steve Jobs fan. Watching the keynote, I immediately worried about him looking too thin, frail, not energetic. I knew he had had pancreatic cancer (the good kind) so that may have increased my inclination to go there. Also, we know he kept his cancer secret for 9 months when he first had it. I don't feel confident that he or Apple would disclose his condition were it serious. I would love to be convinced otherwise as soon as possible.
  • I am very worries about him, too. I am a huge Steve Jobs fan, as well, and I immediately noticed how thin he looks. I really hope he's ok. I know some people are concerned because they're stockholders, but I have no financial interest in Apple whatsoever. I'm just a big fan of Steve Jobs.
  • OK. I've now scoured the web and believe that Steve was ill and has temporarily lost weight, but will be fine. His surgery to eliminate the tumor he had 4 years ago has an effect that results in weight loss so that has him thin to begin with. A GI related illness could both cause further weight loss and make him look sick. Considering what Apple has accomplished in the last few months, I can't imagine he is on his death bed. I'm letting it go and expecting him to make a quick recovery. I'm sorry he has to put up with all this speculation.
  • Hope he is ok. And he MUST be ok, there is no other way. I want to see more WWDC's. more and more amazing products, presented by a guy, who really did change the face of the industry. Long live Steve and Apple.
  • Whether he is ill or not, how can people blame him for not disclosing? He is a fighter and probably wants to be around until he no longer can work. Why should he have to make any announcement until then? Why should the company go down when he can still make a difference? It is not a right for the public to know. Respect his privacy. We here in his hometown do.
  • he is vegetarian

    If he is blood type A, he is ok

    If he is O, he needs meat

    If you eat the wrong food for your blood, you can get cancer more easily

  • I´m sorry to see Jobs apparently sick. He´s got a lot of things to give us yet. Hope he can get better.
