I wouldn't worry about this corporate man. He's getting the best treatment that money can buy.

Hmmm.  Why did I expect an answer like this from you?

It isn't about money or corporations or whatever else you want to make it into.  It's about a visionary who made a huge contribution to the current state of technology in the world.  He looks fucking terrible.

Poor bastard. What is wrong with him? Cancer?

[P7PSP]

He has pancreatic cancer. That is too bad.

Thats right on

When I heard he had stepped down from his position at Apple, I did wonder if it was health related.

Poor guy , is it terminal?

That was pretty heartless , it doesn't matter how rich or poor someone is , the fact that someone has caught cancer is bad PERIOD.

(Only applying that to decent people btw)

It does have a very high mortality rate Squddy. Patrick Swayze died from it.

Yes I remember that, poor guy.

I meant has the guy in question reached the terminal stage or is it still treatable?

Scum tends to have a relatively lengthy lifespan.

That is a good question. Back in 2002 I attended a funeral for a friend and her brother was unable to attend because he was in the hospital with full blown AIDS. He looked easily as gaunt and fucked up as Jobs and I was alarmed at the thought of his family having a second loss in a short time. This is a guy I smoked pot with back in high school, with all 5 siblings actually. In his case he went into remission and is still alive 9 years later. I don't know how often that happens.

Methinks Duke has something against this dude. 

Terrible way to go, though. Had a cousin who died of liver cancer, and that was bad in itself.

[P7PSP]

Yes it is.

Yes, and contributed to a new style of DRM and restrictions on how their products are used. I mean I wouldn't even bother with an iPad if I can't customize it like a PC with software I desire, not sanctioned by Apple. iPad, why u haz no flash? And why should I have to hack my product to get it's fullest potential when I can buy something else that's not as popular but does more?

But on topic, he's in terrible shape, I'd say it's definitely nearing/is at terminal stage because look at his weight and complexion, it's horrible. Could be the chemo doing that more than the cancer, but it's still bad.
