Yeah, but this is Steve we're talking about. The man who saved Apple.
You saw how much of a knock the shares took when a rumour about his death popped up. He needed to let the world know.
People's fundamental rights are not for sale.
Sorry.

I thought it was common knowledge in the USA?
Eat more, excercise less?

Read between the lines here folks...
1. "As many of you know, I have been losing weight throughout 2008. The reason has been a mystery to me and my doctors."
Jobs and Apple have been saying for a year that it was nothing significant. NOT knowing the cause of mass weight loss IS significant.
2. "A few weeks ago, I decided that getting to the root cause of this and reversing it needed to become my #1 priority."
...snip...
A persons health care is a private issue, no doubt. However when the person runs a multi-billion dollar publicly traded company it is inappropriate and ILLEGAL to make false statements that could impact stock price, and that included implying a health issue isn't significant when it is now crystal clear it is.
Perhaps people can leave him alone now. His health is his business, and he's made it abundantly clear that he wants his privacy respected.
Even CEOs and celebrities have a right to privacy.
People's fundamental rights are not for sale.
Sorry.
Hopefully now all of the idiotic speculation (Gizmodo) will finally end once and for all. Best of health to you Steve.![]()
Hey All,
Look, I love Apple and Steve Job and you all love Apple and Steve Jobs. I hope to God I'm wrong, but I just don't believe any of that. It sounds too good to be a letter written by Jobs and released. It sounds to me like they're covering their butts with the stock holders the day before the last Macworld which Apple attends. It saddens me greatly, but I believe we'll see the obituary for Steve Jobs within the year...

Does anybody know what he means by "simple and straightforward"? What kind of treatment is it?
I assume you mean "massive" weight loss. This clearly isn't that. He'd be dead now if that was the case.
He currently has a chronic illness. Many people live very successful lives suffering from chronic illnesses (myself included)....
...and it doesn't interfere with their abilities to do their job.
Not that SJ will read this but I hope he's better soon. I mean that for the sake of his health (and the peace of mind of his loved ones) not the stupid shareholder concerns above.
Perspective!
Fortunately, after further testing, my doctors thinkthey have found the cause a hormone imbalance that has been robbing me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy. Sophisticated blood tests have confirmed this diagnosis
Get well soon, Steve.

we'll know he's ok when the MacBook Fat comes out
