Apple's shares have fallen five points today after the National Enquirer posted pictures of the ailing CEO Steve Jobs, claiming he may only have six weeks to live due to pancreatic cancer.
The pictures show Jobs leaving the Stanford Cancer Center looking very weak and frail, with his clothes hanging loosely from his body.
Jobs, at 6'2, is said to have fallen to 130 pounds.

You are wrong.
First of all, are you not human?
Second, Apple is the reason Windows exists (too bad Windows sucks though). Jobs was there to do that, not Microsoft.

Agreed, that is a disgusting thing to say, whether you like the man or not. Also, while previous versions of Windows have stunk, Win7 is better than any MacOS.

it doesn't look good for him, some reports on other sites say he has less than a week to live.
I hope he can spend every last days living out as if they are his last, the way he wanted to live life; he should forget about work unless he knows for sure he's going to get better.

Guess what, I still think Apple is over hyped, over priced garbage. but I still wish him a full recovery, nobody should have to die such a slow and painful death. Not even a Douche bag like Jobs.

I've always said he's complete scum, in the way he's ran Apple. I also can't help but see why that makes him the great businessman he is.
Any way it's wrong to say summin like "good riddance". You should never wish death upon any one and it's not like Jobbs ever damaged someone's life or hurt any one (at least what we know about). Be a human and treat him wit respect yeah..
Wishing him a healthy recovery, but please fix Apple up afterwards !!

Apple has supported the MPAA and RIAA, a company that fights to restrict our rights and has ruined many peoples' lives...all I'm saying is that this is Karma. He's made bad choices...he should atone.

SMH. Unbelievable. I am at a loss of words...actually I'm not, but what I would like to say would not be the proper thing for a moderator to do.

Same. Was literally shocked by the comment. Ironically, his comment will likely bring some really bad karma on him.
As I wrote in the article, I personally wish Steve Jobs an incredibly speedy recovery and no pain. My grandfather died of pancreatic cancer at an early age also, it was brutal.

This is such a mean thing to say. You should have just kept your evil mouth shut and not make a post at all if that how you feel.
My hatred for Mr. Jobs policies is well documented but I would never wish for someone to die in anyway. And if it wasn't for many of his and his company's innovations we wouldn't have much of the technology we have enjoy today. Never thought I'd be defending him but really man you're the worst kind of person their is

No human being should EVER wish this kind of hardship on another. My prayers go out to the Jobs family.

I am not making any comparison with Jobs here, but wouldn't you wish Hitler dead if this was 1942?
Still, I hope he makes a full recovery and lives long enough to see his policies drive his company into the ground, his customers sue him into near infinite death, and his former friends and fans leave him in some 3rd rate nursing home. Like I said, he isn't a Hitler or an Osama. AFAIK, he has never actually killed anyone, and everything he has done to his customers was known about in advance; it isn't like he removes features and springs rootkits on the users. If you wish natural death on someone for their evil ways, there are so many better targets, such as certain members of SCEA management.

I would disagree, go back and check the history for graphical user interfaces... Xerox was the first to pioneer them, and was one of the main arguements Microsoft used when Apple sued Microsoft for being too close... Gate's response was just because Apple stole the design from Xerox doesn't mean they have exclusive right to what they stole from Xerox...

i give him a week maybe two and he'll be dead. my father died from the same disease, it is a very slow very painful death. wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Steve Jobs is a business man, such as he is. everything he has done has been for the best interest of his company. Many of his strong arm tactics in business where necessary to secure his companies investments. many years from now Steve's business tactics will be learned remembered and used.
its not about what you've done in this life, its about what you've left behind.
Godspeed, Steve.

I'm just surprised you are using the National Enquirer as a reputable source. If this is being reported by other non-tabloid supermarket trash, it would make for a more believable story.

I've purposely stayed away from Apple stock because the company relies on Mr Jobs for direction and will flounder when he's gone. I never liked Apple products due to high prices and proprietary accessories that can only be bought from Apple. I-Tunes is overpriced too. A digital download should only cost around 30 cents since there is no shipping, handling or packaging involved with the product. I respect the man as an innovator but despise him as a huckster.

Excellent points and well said. I considered for the longest time Apple computers had a niche for graphics were way over priced and a closed system, much like you said. What always perplexed me, given the Apple ][ was so open and was so popular because of all the mods you could get for it. Why did Mr. Jobs ever close the Crapintosh as much has he did.
Anyway above all, as a person I wish the best for Mr. Jobs, sorry to see a tragedy like this happen to anyone.
