Look at the higher res photo.
I don't think he looks much different than last time he was on stage. He was just as frail.
What I am kinda trying to say is the picture, although shocking, is not that far off from how we already saw him. Its not THAT bad
Imagine him in the sweater and pants... same overall figure.
Why wouldn't a man be helping him?
And the most shocking element is the paleness but I dunno...
Its a rude picture...

I adjusted sharpness and exposure in Preview. You can clearly see the shirt/shorts demarcation.
Agreed.

I believe that the reason everybody is so obsessed about the appearance of Steve Jobs, beyond his contribution to Apple, is that it's rare to see noted personalities in the final stages of life-threatening debilitating diseases. In some ways, we view Jobs and the Apple machine as being very secretive about his health concerns. However, Jobs has also been extremely public with his condition in the sense that we've seen him on stage over the last few years and watched him slowly deteriorate. Most other 'celebrities' that start dying of cancer tend not to spend much time in the public eye. When they do, it might be for a final appearance, kind of like Dennis Hopper when he accepted his Hollywood 'Walk of Fame' star. I don't find this picture of Jobs particularly shocking, but it does make me immensely sad. Like many of us, I have had close family members die of cancer and we've been struggling with the more recent news that my father has cancer. It is perhaps because of these experiences that I feel so terrible when I hear (or see) of anyone else (and their families) going through such a horrible time.
A couple of new pics have been released today by the same agency...SJ leaving a car and stepping into a wheelchair...extremely sad to see that, as he definitely looks like someone who won't be on this Earth for longer than a few weeks or months - I just can't understand why he is unable to gain any weight at this point.
A great visionary, a great businessman - may SJ find peace with family and loved ones, and forgiveness and compassion under God...despite your past mistakes, there is no one in this world who shouldn't pity you for what you suffer now...thank you again, SJ..!

Late-stage cancer patients can't gain weight. He's wasting, and it involves terrible nausea, a lack of any desire to eat, and a shocking loss of muscle tissue (he's not strong enough to stand on his own anymore -- hence the hospice worker and wheelchair).
It's pretty terrible stuff.

SPOILER ALERT!
Did you notice the black skirt?
do you have any links to these photos in higher quality. only found small ones on google.
In this pic, the legs are the biggest giveaway. If he was dressed in his black turtleneck and jeans, he might not look all that different. Zoom in and look at his face only. Aside from needing a shower, shave and comb, he doesn't look very ill (certainly not as ill as his lower body would suggest).
Also, I'd assume he was heavy on his chemo at this point. Its strange that he hasn't lost his hair...
Its called cachexia.

I don't think MR would like such links here - in any case, you may look for bigger pictures on http://www.estadao.com.br (it's one of the main Brazilian news sites)...
Any kind of cytotoxin will probably take out his transplanted liver. And they will not transplant another one. He might be out of options.
You're crazy if you think his face doesn't give the impression of being ill. And you would VERY much notice if he got in his turtleneck and jeans and tried to go on stage at this point -- he'd just fall down. I know WWDC was only a couple months ago but a lot can change in a short time for this illness. We seem to be forgetting that Steve was merely a MC at this year's WWDC -- continually passing the mic to other speakers. He was visibly ill then and even more now.
Because he was so nervous when he saw Steve wearing red turtleneck. I mean it's red.....
So you're suggesting it's a premonition of his days nearing the end? Ok, butI don't think anyone should look too much into this - it's just a coloured pullover, which I assume he felt like wearing.
