This is more to reality.How cute that the person who's culture made Apple what it is is being marked by a man who's nearly single-handedly demolished all that the first man did.
How great is it that the person who’s culture made apple is being marked by the hand-picked ceo who single-handedly has taken Apple to new heights
Who wants to buy MacRumors its first drink? 😆
I wonder if he would be around if he decided to tackle the illness earlier. Hindsight doesnt really help now.I KNOW, eh? I was thinking that when I read this. 66 is pretty young these days, and to think of how long he's been gone already. Really crazy. Really unfortunate.
We’ll never know. Cancer sucks.I wonder if he would be around if he decided to tackle the illness earlier. Hindsight doesnt really help now.
I think we do know. Steve Jobs had something pretty rare: A highly treatable type of Pancreatic cancer. Most Pancreatic cancers are not easy to treat and the success rate and life expectancy is low. But Steve Jobs decided to do 'alternative treatments' like acupuncture and dietary supplements and juice instead of surgery and treatments, and in the end he regretted trying to treat cancer that way.I wonder if he would be around if he decided to tackle the illness earlier.

No, it's actually not "very easy". The 5-year survival rate for pancreatic NET is about 54% on average. Not bad but hardly a guaranteed cure. Steve actually ended up making it 8 years. It's not clear that a 9 month delay in treatment at the very beginning, out of 8 years, would have made the difference between life and death. It might have, but we'll never know; and it certainly doesn't warrant 99% confidence.
Thanks for this. I hadn’t read the book, but had heard a rumour that he had some regrets - Steve was a pretty bold/proud guy, it’s a shame he didn’t take a different course of action.I think we do know.

Thats not my opinion, thats what Steve Jobs himself told the man he asked to be his official biographer, Walter Isaacson. Forbes article 2011
