- Oldsmobile, on 07/26/2008, -10/+73He called the columnist a slime bucket to his face, but then explained to him what his ailment was. Apparently it wasn't "a common bug" but it's not cancer either.
Good to hear Jobs is okay. - imjohn, on 07/26/2008, -31/+91You gotta admit Steve is right. Reporter = slime bucket.
- PhoneJack, on 07/27/2008, -4/+37Linus Torvalds still wins with his masturbating monkeys comment.
- 1longtime, on 07/27/2008, -20/+49A much-forgotten history lesson about Steve Jobs...
The man refused to accept his own daughter, despite paternity DNA tests, and forced his girlfriend to live in poverty by refusing to pay child support despite the fact that he was a multi-millionaire. He is well known to be a horrible boss. Aside from his only true work, the first Apple computer, he has gotten rich off of intellectual property that he has essentially stolen.
I will not weep for him any time soon. - alx1507, on 07/27/2008, -7/+35Okay, so I did a little research. You also forgot to mention the fact that years after the paternity test he welcomed this daughter into his life. And years before he accepted her as his daughter, he named one of his revolutionary products after her. The Lisa. So I feel as though there is more to the story than he just denied her as his.

- djsim, on 07/27/2008, -2/+20"Dude I invented the friggin iPhone, have you heard of it?"
That was an FSJ quote. - kds405, on 07/27/2008, -1/+19I didn't think he was sick...I just thought it was a new version of Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs Nano.
- Pake, on 07/27/2008, -7/+24“You think I’m an arrogant [expletive] who thinks he’s above the law, and I think you’re a slime bucket who gets most of his facts wrong.”
On the upside, they're both right. One's an arrogant ***** and the other is your average reporter... - Mickeh65, on 07/27/2008, -1/+18Diabeetus.
- Z_Man, on 07/27/2008, -0/+16or the wanking walruses... which I tend to agree with these days.
- theshague, on 07/27/2008, -3/+18Anybody remember that Markoff was the one that tried to ruin Kevin Mitnick with false reporting and essentially landed Mitnick in solitary for 8 months? I'd say Jobs is right on this one, Markoff is a slime bucket and I'm appalled that the NYT still prints his bull.
- CoreyTamas, on 07/27/2008, -3/+16Well, some of us get our information by reading and watching news. Some of us get it by renting Pirates of Silicon Valley.
- username7410, on 07/27/2008, -1/+14Ever heard of a paragraph?
- streak, on 07/26/2008, -2/+14Apple didn't lie. It was a common bug. Steve is just more sensitive to bacterial and viral infections of the gastrointestinal tract, following his radical, curative surgery 4 years ago. The fact that he had corrective surgery earlier this year didn't help, but it was the "bug" that almost caused him to skip WWDC, not the surgery. Remember how you last looked after your last bout with "intestinal flu"?
Take it from an expert:

I would love to read up about that. - timmerk15, on 07/27/2008, -1/+11Apple didn't lie - they said “Steve’s health is a private matter”. They never said he was fine.

- NSResponder, on 07/27/2008, -2/+7I will just point out that we only have Nocera's word that this conversation ever took place, let alone what the content of it was.
The NYT doesn't have a stellar record when it comes to reporters making ***** up.
-jcr - dysonlu, on 07/27/2008, -1/+6And that's coming from someone who's not exactly Mr. Nice Guy.
- rickpelletier, on 07/27/2008, -0/+5holy ***** that's a lotta text
- JoeDiggsIt, on 07/27/2008, -0/+5Ok, that was the most wasted block of text in recent memory... great job Greg Louwitts!!!!
- sharternarter, on 07/27/2008, -0/+4tl;dr
- clharlem149, on 07/27/2008, -0/+4does the digg community REALLY need the sarcasm tags to recognize it?
- inactive, on 07/27/2008, -2/+6skull craniums?
All you've blown is dick, GregLouwitts, all you've blown is dick. - DubiSPACEBAR, on 07/27/2008, -2/+6Some reporters are slime bags - Agreed
Steve Jobs is arrogant and acts like a douche - Agreed
What's the story here? - P1um, on 07/27/2008, -3/+6that's like... 46 slime balls. ouch.
- inactive, on 07/27/2008, -0/+3People who are digging you down are proving by their actions that they have never owned shares in a publicly held corporation.
- neonfunk, on 07/27/2008, -3/+6"money-grubbing, lying, marketer, masquerading as a preacher that is will to fleece his share holders."
so... he's making so much money for his company that he's fleecing his shareholders. right. - inactive, on 07/27/2008, -2/+5just a mild case of the smug.
- dn11, on 07/27/2008, -3/+6i love when the world is black and white. it makes things so much easier and doesn't require me to use an critical thinking at all.
- huggybarrel, on 07/27/2008, -7/+10"he has gotten rich off of intellectual property that he has essentially stolen."
sure you're not talking about bill gates? - Hermmunster, on 07/27/2008, -2/+5I've followed apple's history for the past 10-15 years. One thing of note is that Steve Jobs is no better than the slime bucket he claims others to be. His child was virtually abandoned even though DNA proved her to be his daughter. Even after that he gave a minimum of money to support her. He treated his child's mother as if she were garbage and he threw her away.
I think he needs to review his life some before he does finally die of the disease he's trying to cover up. - appleseed1234, on 07/27/2008, -0/+2Who WOULD ever call a reporter for the NYT a slimebucket?
- copypastry, on 07/27/2008, -0/+2thin is in
- inactive, on 07/27/2008, -1/+3Yeah and what's with wheels being round, ***** lame, it'd be so cool if they were squared.
- inactive, on 07/27/2008, -0/+2.....I'll give you 1.2%
- chillypacman, on 07/27/2008, -3/+5Steve Jobs is a salesman, sure he's the CEO but really, the CEO of what? He takes things that have been around for years, ads glammer to them and markets it as all new.
I dunno about the reporter, but Steve Jobs is certainly a slime bucket. - judicar, on 07/27/2008, -1/+3I was hoping he had called John Markoff a slimebag because he is, just go back and look up how he demonized Kevin Mitnick back in the 90's.
- tazzydnc, on 07/27/2008, -1/+3As the conversation was off the record I'm not buying the legitimacy of this article
- datek2517, on 07/27/2008, -0/+2The same arrogant person he always was.
I assume your post was sarcastic? - thedragon4453, on 07/27/2008, -0/+2This one fits in that little pocket in the front of jeans.
- WishItWerePaul, on 07/27/2008, -1/+3some times (always?) certain type of genius comes in a package like Steve's. can't have it in pieces, its all of it or nothing.
- streak, on 07/26/2008, -3/+5You would have a point if Steve's health hadn't been disclosed, but the relevant aspects of his health have been disclosed for years, and so you don't have a point.
Steve and his doctors proclaimed him cured of the cancer 4 years ago. It was described at that time as having been a fortunate type of cancer to have, if one has to have cancer, in that it could be 100% cured. There has been no change in that.
Give it a rest. - streak, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1Rather than actually doing any investigative reporting, these guys Markoff Jackoff and Nocera Bonera just wax prophetic about how righteous their opinions are.
- dn11, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1I'm not sure Steve Jobs fans and Ron Paul fans have a large intersection on the venn diagram. Ron Paul fans use Linux I bet.
- elf25, on 07/27/2008, -2/+3reporters do not count as people, I know, I've seen them without their masks. I work with 50+ of them every day.
- GreenAlien, on 07/27/2008, -1/+2Someone in his blog comments said he owns 10's of thousands of Apple stock, and he disagrees with you. So there's one example. Keep your greedy nose out of people's affairs. The company will still be there if anything happens to Jobs. If people like you overreact and the stock price temporarily dips then tough luck. Ride it out.
- pandapoo, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1Steve Jobs is a human being and no matter how excited we all like to get by rumour and speculation. Can I also point out that this reporter is clearly a "slime bucket"; does he know what 'off the record' means?! We all make mistakes but once we've stopped making them it isn't fair to hold those same things against them. Just because we're online doesn't mean we can't have a little compassion.
