- billjimbob, on 01/05/2009, -0/+6It is pretty interesting what CNBC had to say on this when it was just a rumor a few weeks ago:
"I will say again: if Apple is lying, holding some truth back, manipulating its own stock by manipulating the truth, someone — indeed a lot of people — could be going to jail."

I won't pretend to be a lawyer, but clearly Apple (at least Jobs) has known about this for quite some time. - agimat, on 01/05/2009, -0/+6These things happen just about before the 10 year contract nears it's end.
- rwert, on 01/05/2009, -0/+6I KNEW it.
- inactive, on 01/05/2009, -0/+5SELL SELL SELL
- R031E5, on 01/05/2009, -0/+5I'm really glad that his weight loss is being caused by a hormone imbalance and not by some kind of cancer :) .
- foolishwolf, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4THANK GOD.
- yokozuka, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4Apple's PR lied once. Why wouldn't they do it again?
What I find amazing is that people like CNBC's Jim Goldman had the guts to go on TV and vehemently attack the Gizmodo story based only on Apple PR's words instead of doing some REAL reporting. I smell the hand of Katie Cotton behind all this.
On the other side, Goldman wrote this (and many similar pearls).
"AppleTV, take two, has a real shot. The power of technology. The power of Apple and Steve Jobs."

And then he went to attack all "bloggers" for lack of professionalism. Whatever. - shutaro, on 01/05/2009, -0/+4I assumed it was Lupus...
- billjimbob, on 01/05/2009, -2/+5Big whoop. Unless you own Apple's stock or are an Apple fanboy, who cares?
In all honesty, though, credit to Gizmodo for sticking it to Apple when their PR lied to everybody. - inactive, on 01/05/2009, -3/+6So Gizmodo was right: Steve's precarious health was the reason of his no show, according to Steve himself. Even while he says he is recovering, that WAS the reason. I hope the ***** like Jim Goldman—who lied to the public following Apple's PR command—apologize now.
- yokozuka, on 01/05/2009, -0/+3I guess they should go to jail.
- inactive, on 01/05/2009, -0/+3The hormone imbalance is a result of his operation. Check Johns Hopkins University study on the matter:
"The survival of patients who received the Whipple procedure in one study (from a very experienced Johns Hopkins team) were reported out in 1995 as a 21% five-year survival rate, with a median survival of 15.5 months."
Five years. Steve Jobs had surgery in 2004.

RTFA and get your facts straight. - shutaro, on 01/05/2009, -0/+3Yeah, that sounds reasonable.
- shutaro, on 01/05/2009, -1/+4"Hormone imbalance"? Right... I smell conspiracy.
- macfb6, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2At this point, do you believe that's true?
- timusca, on 01/05/2009, -4/+1No, Gizmodo was NOT right... that had "confirmation" that it was due to cancer, implying that he was dying. This is totally different.
Frankly, the man is just getting old... but he still plans to continue as CEO.
Screw Gizmodo. - inactive, on 01/05/2009, -4/+1Great time to say "I told you so." Douchebag.
- timusca, on 01/05/2009, -8/+2Screw you, Gizmodo. I vote everyone bury these idiots and not give them any ad revenue from Digg.
