- Wootstapler, on 07/28/2008, -2/+20Buried for being the 10th article on the front page about Jobs' health not being in jeopardy.
- web2pointYo, on 07/28/2008, -0/+7As long as no one tasers him, I think he should be fine.
- streak, on 07/28/2008, -2/+9Why waste time on those flunkies at the NY Times, when you can read the opinion of an expert in the field? You'll be doing something the Times "reporters" couldn't be bothered with.

- elipabst, on 07/28/2008, -1/+5Where were they when he left the first time and the company went into the toilet? I'm sure there are plenty of brilliant people at Apple, but what makes companies like this great isn't that they're run by smart people, but that those people are visionaries with a knack for knowing what people will want 3-5 years from know.
- streak, on 07/28/2008, -1/+5Pausch's sad demise less than 2 years after initial diagnosis should offer a grim lesson to the public just how lucky Steve Jobs was that he (Jobs) had a rare, curable form of pancreatic cancer. Jobs was cured of his cancer by the radical surgery he underwent 4 years ago. (His more recent surgery was corrective, not for cancer). For Pausch's common form of pancreatic cancer, there was no cure; the only hope was to stave off the inevitable outcome for as long as possible.
http://digg.com/apple/A_Surgical_Oncologist_specul ... - Hoboking333, on 07/27/2008, -3/+7I wonder what would become of Apple is Steve just suddenly died.
- gavin422, on 07/28/2008, -0/+4Analysts predict he will continue to live until three days after his warranty expires.
- peaceninja, on 07/28/2008, -1/+4***** you--the asparagus diet killed two of my friends. Also double-commenting killed four of my friends (it would have killed just two but it had double the impact).
- yikiad, on 07/28/2008, -0/+3you'll have to keep the pissed off mobile me subscribers away from him to ensure that...
- JoshuaLowe, on 07/28/2008, -0/+3This is what happens when one person puts a multi-billion dollar corporation entirely on his shoulders without a succession plan: Investors get very, very twitchy about his health. If Jobs doesn't like his health being constantly scrutinized, then he needs to re-evaluate the state of his organization.
- superkendall, on 07/28/2008, -0/+3Except that there is a succession plan, and a very healthy pipeline.
- inactive, on 07/28/2008, -1/+4How many times is this story going to be resubmitted/rehashed? Not enough, Never enough apparently.
- naiku, on 07/28/2008, -0/+2stock still down over 23bucks since the 3g announcement. good steve is good and well...apple needs him.
- SkippyDoorknob, on 07/28/2008, -1/+3Then obviously it wasn't incurable was it?
- shutaro, on 07/28/2008, -0/+2That's just what "they" want you to think!
- streak, on 07/28/2008, -2/+4Very insightful, @Hoboking333. I guess I'm just narrow minded in my wondering what will happen to Apple and what great new products and services will be created if Steve Jobs lives for many, many years, as is expected. Maybe we'll all look back on the present questions of Jobs' health being raised by such business authorities as The New York Post and think: WHAT IDIOTS!!
- krusader3z, on 07/28/2008, -1/+3Damn.. I had money riding on this.
- shaXian, on 07/27/2008, -7/+9Initially chaos, but then resurgence. There are a lot of really brilliant people at Apple.
- JettaMan, on 07/28/2008, -0/+2This is just Steve Jobs living out his Paul McCartney death fantasy. He thinks he's a rockstar.
- GodIsntReal, on 07/28/2008, -0/+2Damn.
- MacParrot, on 07/28/2008, -0/+2What happened the last time is what happens to most companies when they stop listening to the technical people and start listening to marketing types.
You end up with OS stagnation and Performas, Centris, and Quadras. Apple lived and died by the Mac in those days. Now between the iPod/iTunes, iPhone, the resurgence of the Mac, and whatever else they may have up their sleeves, Apple is more diversified than they ever have been. - dinobot, on 07/29/2008, -0/+1The only reason the majority of people care about whether he's ok or not is because they're mac fanboys
- streak, on 07/29/2008, -1/+2No *****, Sherlock. We're all gonna die young of pancreatic cancer, right?
I think you've been listening to too many commencement speeches by Steve Jobs. - RMoore08, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1Snow Leopard
- RMoore08, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1Because he is a human being... any decent human should care whether everyone is okay or not.
- Rfriaz, on 07/28/2008, -2/+3Buried for dupe.
- TheUngod, on 07/28/2008, -1/+2Taser Steve Jobs? I now know exactly what I'm doing if and when I get into heaven. Or if I'm running hell.
- InorganicMatter, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1Isn't the person who designed the UI for the iPod, iPhone, and Mac OS X set to succeed him?
- plarp, on 07/28/2008, -1/+2steve.. find your spirit animal..
- inkswamp, on 07/28/2008, -1/+2And what would Pixar do without him too?
Obviously Steve Jobs is a great business leader, but I wouldn't give him too much credit for everything Apple does. They could continue doing what they do without him. - michaelGregoire, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1His health problems will be covered up until they can't do so anymore. Apple stock will be severely affected negatively by his being terminally ill.
- wildsnake, on 07/28/2008, -2/+2With these Steve Jobs cancer stories. Here. Support your pancreatic cancer cause
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog. ... - digitaldivinci, on 07/28/2008, -3/+3Haven't we known this for about a week now? It's good to hear, but not everyday.
- paulot, on 07/28/2008, -2/+2How many times is this going to be on the front page? Also, I'm glad he's ok.
- vacuum2440, on 07/28/2008, -1/+1c'mon digg, must we really have nearly week old news on the front page like this
- inactive, on 07/28/2008, -1/+1zing!
- egyptianlover, on 07/28/2008, -1/+1he's looking grizzled.
- Zippo, on 07/28/2008, -1/+1Things would never be the same, and a lot of people would worry, that's for sure.
But so long as they continue to develop and innovate with Steve's ideals, there hopefully wouldn't be a repeat of the '90s for Apple.
They would definitely need to choose a charasmatic and powerful person to take Jobs' position... Apple would loose a lot of its charm and the keynotes would just plain suck if a stuffy old businessman took over.
It'd be cool if Woz were to step back into the scene, but chances are he won't. - inactive, on 07/28/2008, -1/+1OK, spill the beans.
Lets hear it? - inkswamp, on 07/28/2008, -2/+2Buried for being the 1,000,000th Digg user to bitch about something on the front page.
- ikiteboarding, on 07/29/2008, -0/+0Steve Jobs bought Apple back from the dead. Glad he is ok!
- inactive, on 07/28/2008, -1/+1that's becuz he went through natural holistic healing, ate right, drank tea, and didnt' take any garbage chemotherapy.
- i4detail, on 07/28/2008, -2/+1This is what? The fifth time this story has hit the front page?
- nonsequitur668, on 07/28/2008, -1/+0Although I generally believe that the less said about Steve Jobs, the better, I do feel obligated to say a few things about Steve's lackluster, foul insinuations. But first, I'm going to jump ahead a bit and talk in general terms about how the potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist if we don't even the score. Then, I'll back up and fill in some of the details. Okay, so to start with the general stuff, most pundits are uncertain about the magnitude of the threat posed by Steve's disquisitions. But let's not lose sight of the larger, more important issue here: Steve's bleeding-heart screeds.
Steve insists that it is not only acceptable but indeed desirable to create anomie. How can he be so blind? Very easily. Basically, Steve seeks scapegoats for his own shortcomings by blaming the easiest target he can find, that is, feebleminded twaddlers. He has become so morally and ideologically degraded, so acclimated to Lysenkoism and particularism, that he wants to turn the social order upside-down so that the dregs on the bottom become the scum on the top, and every intellectually honest person knows it. If Steve had even a shred of intellectual integrity, he'd admit that he is too uncompanionable to read the writing on the wall. This writing warns that my goal is to pronounce the truth and renounce the lies. I will not stint in my labor in this direction. When I have succeeded, the whole world will know that we can divide Steve's tractates into three categories: immature, randy, and hateful. With this letter, I hope I have made my views crystal-clear: Steve Jobs is doing some serious mau-mauing. - Hax0rJimDuggan, on 07/28/2008, -3/+2This is ***** old people. Stop digging this hot steamy pile of ***** dinosaur *****!
