Here's some news. Sort of.

So, you can take it for what it's worth. He has some health problem. It's apparently not life threatening. It's apparently Super Secretive.
My guess... Tibetan Tape Worm Infestation.
But whatever, it's good news it's not cancer again.

While his health problems amounted to a good deal more than “a common bug,” they weren’t life-threatening and he doesn’t have a recurrence of cancer.

That's real reassuring.

he does look really thin lately. i found it interesting after reading a CNN/Money article on the same subject that the very secrecy which makes their product launches so must-see, is very dangerous to the survival of their company. you can't run a public company the way they're doing it without some lash back from investors, and with Steve's health in question their stock prices are very volatile when it comes to what comes next.

He probably got salmonella from eating a tomato and raw meat sandwich. But then which one did he get salmonella from?

Didn't he have cancer or something? ON top of this, it's all probably really stressful, although lots of things are going right for Apple at this moment.

I say steve needs a vacation. If you are any chance reading this, go on a BBQ tour and pig yourself out, you deserve it.

Is Apple becoming Microsoft?

Back in the news again... CNN has a viewer-sourced "news" site called ironically enough "iReport". Someone posted an article saying Steve Jobs had died of a heart attack. Apple stocks plunged. After it was revealed as a hoax, stocked recovered all but 3%.
Here's 2 articles on the incident:
Apple denies report of Steve Jobs heart attack: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance
CNN hands over info on author of Steve Jobs rumor: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance

just put some other schmuck in a turtleneck and jeans, overhype the product, make it shiny, and throw a big press event for a minor memory upgrade.
