If those pics are legit, discussing if its his liver, cancer or whatever is moot... Point blank from those pics it doesn't look good!

Let the shorting begin and watch Apple shares plummet once again. What an easy stock for hedge funds to manipulate. I suppose Steve was in a wheelchair and unable to move under his own power. That should account for a $20 drop in Apple stock tomorrow. 
I guess it isn't possible he went there to show some medical iPad app to the executive staff.

Summary: I'm going to pick on the guy with a medical degree, but not the dozen or so other uninformed speculative opinions that are expressed here because they're more in line with what I hope is the truth.
Good grief, this is a rumor site. 99% of what gets posted in the discussion forums is people spouting off even though they "really don't know what they're talking about".
Um I don't know maybe because he's a billionaire? It's sad but true money greases palms and makes things happen.
So far the financial press is staying far away from this rumor, so I'd take it with a grain of salt. There are plenty of stories about Apple (from Google's One Pass, to the Motorola Xoom, to their new subscription model), but nothing about Jobs. Until the financial press picks up on it, I wouldn't put much stock into it.
He's a member of the human race, so no, this should not be reported.
There's something wrong if the demands of Wall Street and tabloid press are put ahead of common decency and respect for the human condition.
How do we know this is even him?? Why would Steve Jobs be driven around in a late 90's civic? Doesn't make sense.
Well it is a trade off for getting to drive an unregistered vehicle without number plates.
My guess is that Steve Jobs dies within a week, sad thing about cancer but true. I am entitled to my opinion.
I'm sorry that you lost your father. I know how much that hurts - my dad died from ALS about 15 years ago. Please don't take this next comment personally - it's not really aimed at you specifically.
I get tired of the overuse of the word "hero" in our society. Just because someone dies doesn't make them a hero - whether they're a captain of industry, a cop, or a soldier. Being a hero means doing something specifically heroic - dying because you went into a burning building in an attempt to save someone else, for example. Getting shot and dying is horribly sad, but not heroic in and of itself.
One word....camouflage.
Does not take a genius to know picture of him in his condition are worth several thousand dollars. When you see a 150K Mercedes drive in, you know it time to drop the hammer on your 1D mk IV and 800mm f/5.6 lens to get all the pictures you can,. When you see a Honda Civic, its not worth your time.
If they do, I'll be buying! I'd bet money that when Steve leaves this world he'll also leave behind a good many ideas in the pipeline, like Frank Lloyd Wright left behind a good many designs for homes never built.
I don't know what kind of hand will end up on the ship's tiller, but if Apple is still sailing in the direction Steve gave them, the company might yet make a lot of money and profit for its stockholders.
That said, I hope Steve continues on, even as I know we all gotta go sometime. I just hate that such visionaries often leave us early. And Apple keynotes will be painful to watch knowing he'd no longer there
I'm pretty sure that this is a HIPAA VIOLATION!
Nope. His doctor didn't say anything.
He definitely changed the ball game when it comes to tech...
I hope he lives to see 100... But god forbids, if he dies, he's gonna have Lady D funeral status for sure.

Ahh, you just reminded me of my english teacher!
I guess its how you define "hero" though.
The end is nigh (between now the end of Summer is my guess).
A diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is a death sentence. Sooner or later it will metastacize, even if it's caught early and "treated" (by performing a Whipple procedure followed by chemo), as it apparently was in SJ's case. It's amazing he's lasted this long (no doubt money has bought him the kind of medical care that is not available to mere mortals, like, for example, getting to the head of the liver transplant list on short notice). My father went down in under 1 year. My friend at work succumbed to complications in a matter of weeks (last time I saw him at work I didn't even know he had cancer, six weeks later we're all at his funeral).
