Apple 2.0 - Jobs Not Suffering From Recurrence of Cancer

apple20.blogs.fortune.cnn.com — Apple ’s CEO on Saturday made an important disclosure in The New York Times business section, saying that he is not suffering a recurrence of cancer. Perhaps not surprisingly, Steve Jobs did so in a fashion few other corporate chiefs would employ.

  • benologist, on 07/27/2008, -2/+22Also not surprising is this has already been on the front page, twice in the last 5 hours.
    • zadadka, on 07/27/2008, -0/+2Yup.
      "...and it's none of our business" fell off the front page as this came on.
  • FredFredrickson, on 07/27/2008, -3/+12On the front page with only one other comment? Maybe because you all already commneted on this twice?

    Come on Apple fanboys, stop sending out the shouts for duplicates.
  • HotDogBun, on 07/27/2008, -12/+20DO NOT CARE
    • wellyuk, on 07/27/2008, -4/+3What makes you think any of us care enough that you don't care that we'd be interested in reading a comment saying you don't care?
      • sockpuppets, on 07/27/2008, -0/+2What makes you think any of us care enough that you don't care that you don't care that we'd be interested in reading a comment saying you don't care?
    • robbob, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1Insert cat picture with paws extended/shoulders up
    • sg7791, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1It's finally gotten to this point. A comment simply stating "DO NOT CARE" is dugg up.
  • cl0n3x, on 07/27/2008, -8/+1Since this is a duplicate post, screw it. OMNOMNOM
    • 3amboo, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1don't be obese, you omnomnom too much
  • greanbean, on 07/27/2008, -5/+11glad to see he still doesnt have cancer since the last time this was on the front page a few hours ago. thank god
  • SuperIntendo, on 07/27/2008, -3/+11If you think this is good, just wait for Apple 2.1. I've heard Steve might even be getting copy and paste.
  • jtbell04, on 07/27/2008, -12/+5Jobs hasn't yet upgraded to Cancer 2.0
  • bumcheekcity, on 07/27/2008, -8/+10Pah, like Jobs would just get Cancer again. He's release it as a whole new disease. It would fix some of the problems of the old disease, but you wouldn't be able to run it on just any old body, it would have to be Apple's own, expensive body, and you couldn't get it from anywhere else, and there'd be huge restrictions on the type and nature of your cancer.

    Oh, and it'd cost a ***** huge amount compared to other terminal diseases too. But it would be simpler, so people would buy it.
  • paraforce, on 07/27/2008, -4/+10I'm happy for the guy, but thousands of people die from cancer every day.
    I don't care any more about Steve Jobs' life than any other person on this planet.
  • doctordbx, on 07/27/2008, -5/+11***** we know already alright?

    Stupid Digg algorithm, no wonder Google didn't want this piece of *****.
  • Subriot, on 07/27/2008, -4/+111) Bury as Duplicate Story
    2) Continue browsing Digg
    3) ???
    4) Profit!
  • chillypacman, on 07/27/2008, -6/+4Ok apple fanboys, your prophet is not dying, he's immortal, so you have nothing to worry about.

    Now please stop digging these stories.
  • ramunenke, on 07/27/2008, -3/+3its some type of creepy for a person to have such a fanbase that they would invade his privacy, spread rumors about his cancer, and mark every moment between that and the truth with speculation. I thought this kind of invasive observance was only from celebrities. Damn I hope they dont find out Christian Bale has syphilis.
    • doctordbx, on 07/27/2008, -4/+0Well, it's obviously not a problem for Heath Ledger.
  • beggersfunk, on 07/27/2008, -4/+2Oh man leave must be really dry nowadays for apple story. How many story got posted about Job's this pass week?
    Totally un-dugg
  • DeFex, on 07/27/2008, -5/+3smug has its god, and there he is.
  • diggrnumber1, on 07/27/2008, -4/+4I actually haven't looked on the front page within the last few hours, so I don't have a problem with seeing this article here.
  • greenmountain, on 07/27/2008, -2/+5Don't know about Jobs,but this story refuses to die.
    Don't think it is Apple fans digging the story.
    More like haters wishing to bury him.

  • 3amboo, on 07/27/2008, -6/+1this is off topic but i think mac os 10.7 should be codenamed "Cougar"
  • nontoxyc, on 07/27/2008, -5/+3the comments on this story are dumb they all need to be buried.
    • michaeldpotter, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1Yeah Digg, where is the "Bury All" button? Instead of a thumbs down, it could be a finger giving "the bird".
  • geminister, on 07/27/2008, -3/+6Ok this is getting obvious now - Jobs does have cancer but it would hurt Apple too much to release that information to the wild right now. Remember, he knows strategy like noone else..
  • Technopundit, on 07/27/2008, -3/+8This is how super-villains are born.
  • zeptobyte, on 07/27/2008, -3/+5So this is a story about how... nothing new is happening?
    • Virgule, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1-Sgt McPants reporting in, SIR!
      -Proceed...
      -Nothing to report, SIR!


  • fredJdukes, on 07/27/2008, -4/+1Curses!
  • duckyinc, on 07/27/2008, -4/+1It's iCancer!
  • estacado, on 07/27/2008, -4/+1It's not a bug, it's a feature.
  • r3ducgg, on 07/27/2008, -3/+0Curses!
  • jinkop38, on 07/27/2008, -1/+3To me, you can be ill, you can be fine, as long as you enjoy your work and deliver results that are appreciated and fulfill your "vision", that's ok.

    Shareholders have the power to let you go any moment (as in '97, if I recall correctly).

    They don't care about the Ceo state of health, they want to save their money and they see the "illness" resonating in themselves and they are frightened.
  • hivesster, on 07/27/2008, -1/+4I'm glad he's going to be ok at least.
  • skidude72, on 07/27/2008, -3/+0Steve jobs is a pretentious arrogant and annoying self loving little *****....
  • ninjacob, on 07/27/2008, -3/+1AIDS
  • johnkmiecik, on 07/27/2008, -2/+1Cool! ANOTHER story telling me the same thing!
  • mentor972, on 07/27/2008, -1/+2Direct link to the article since the submitter linked to fortune's top 20 apple stories instead of the article.

  • dunedad, on 07/27/2008, -0/+0This story is not about fanboys, but about stock manipulation.
    AAPL stock is highly manipulated, varying up and down by much larger amounts than other stocks, and the cancer story is FUD that the "short sellers" use to drive the price down. Many "reporters" in the financial media are involved with these hedge fund manipulations and are a curse to the honest investor. If you read Nocera's story, you find that he talks about CANCER, and Jobs, and CANCER, and DEATH and Jobs has had CANCER, and the public doesn't realize that his CANCER was a nonlethal kind, and his CANCER might be back, and Jobs and Apple are liars about whether or not Jobs has CANCER, and then only at the very end of the piece does he report that Jobs called him and told him that he does not have CANCER, and is not dying, but Nocera thinks the story must be that Apple isn't telling us enough, even though Jobs just told him that he does not have CANCER.
    He is just spreading FUD to drive the stock down. His buddies make millions on this type of scheme.
    Read "Deep Capture" by Patrick Byrne http://www.deepcapture.com/ to get the story of how financial reporters are in bed with hedge funds.
