Steve Jobs looks like he's in some pretty bad shape

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

[trapz101]

if that's really him,i really feel bad for him...

[pvttucker]

Oh wow.. what happened??

[leanne F]

all that money and poor health seems to go hand in hand.

[dr.chimps]

Vince. He's got pancreatic cancer. It's not pretty, and he's dying. He's going better than all of us would. A little less sermon would be great. 

[Jack T. Cross]

To be fair, he doesn't look much worse than some of his past appearances on the Apple stage.  But no doubt about it, the bro may be in his last days.  In the past, he made it clear he was only temporarily stepping away.  This announcement was different.

On a side note, he's said to have been quite a prick in his day.  I wonder how this has changed him.  His money has allowed him to carry on a lot longer than most people get with this type of cancer. So you can bet he's done a lot of reflecting over the past few years.

God bless him.  I'd love to see him turn it all around and show us the way with some kind of alternative treatment.

I used to think he actually had access to alien technology... but I guess not.

If you're not a prick, nothing gets done. Don't blame him.

[Jack T. Cross]

No.  But he's been using non-traditional treatments, at least in part, and he's managed to live at least twice as long as a person would normally live in this situation.

[Hulkotron]

He also had a liver transplant a couple years ago.

I suppose that's one way of looking at it.

a normal person would still be waiting for a liver transplant and died by now ....  too bad the advanced alien technology he received from our government to create the iPod didn't have a cancer cure included.

[The Grim Lifter]

That's my life experience talking. Very few people you can rely on without being a prick.

[Natural Man]

not sure ipads and iphones are so great contributions to mankind...

whose the guy in the pic, his "life partner" ? Looks like aids to me.

So he must have went Third World for the liver (where they're sold to the highest bidder, rather than by order).  I forgot he has the incredibly rare type of pancreatic cancer that can be helped with a liver transplant.

Shit, with all the Apple money, he should have been able to surround himself with 100% those types of people.

[EZ$]

I think he has enough money to get a liver from a living donor.

[che]

Fuck him.

Jobs married Laurene Powell, on March 18, 1991. Presiding over the wedding was the Zen Buddhist monk Kobun Chino Otogawa.The couple have a son and two daughters. Jobs also has a daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs (born 1978), from his relationship with Bay Area painter Chrisann Brennan. She briefly raised their daughter on welfare when Jobs denied paternity, claiming that he was sterile; he later acknowledged paternity.

You would think that. I have a friend who studied law and went to work for one of the big accounting firms when he graduated. He left after 6 months because he said it was just filled with dickheads. Guys trying to get one up on each other, who think they are the best because they know one little thing.

[Hulkotron]

You can do some crazy shit with live liver transplants these days if you have a compatible doner.  I was reading about it on wikipedia the other day.  They chop like 70% of the liver out of the doner and put it in the recipient.  The doner's liver is back to full size and full function in a matter of weeks; evidently the liver has incredible regenerative powers.

[seCrawler]

Looks more like Vissy and you, Vince.

I hear you, man.  And it doesn't seem like it's going to get any better with the new generations coming up.

[BIG ACH]

Poor guy, he looks really bad...

Goes to show you, even if you have all the money in the world life can still push you to the very edge when it feels like it and there is nothing you can do about it!

[Reeves]

It would be nice for him, his family and the company he co-founded if he was somehow cured, either medicinally or miraculously.   I no longer care that much for AppleŠ Computers (No Blu Ray pisses me off!), but that doesn't mean I would wish this on Jobs.

Usually a quick death.
