SICK IN MANY SENSES OF THE WORD "At its Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, [Apple] announced a new 3G version of the iPhone in a push to target mainstream consumers. But a strong undercurrent at the event focused on the emaciated appearance of co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs. While Jobs looked especially gaunt in his trademark black turtleneck and faded jeans, other Apple executives spent more time on the stage during his keynote address — a notable move for an executive who typically spends much of his speech rallying the Mac faithful and introducing many products himself. This created a dilemma of sorts for those of us in the business and technology press, but it is also not the first time his appearance has caused concern. In 2004, Jobs successfully battled pancreatic cancer, and since then, there has been occasional speculation about his health after one of his public appearances. … Henry Blodget at Silicon Alley Insider apologized upfront for bringing up the personal subject, before wondering if Jobs has had a recurrence of the cancer that he successfully fought but kept hidden from investors until after his surgery."

That Steve Jobs is such a bastard! I mean, look at all the damage he has done! He (once again) took a floundering company, hired an innovative design team that produced sleek, aesthetically pleasing computers, that didn't crash every time you switched programs and you didn't have to know computer geek code to get the damn things to work. Then they created all these fun, handy little gadgets for media storage and communication. And then what happened? They cut into Microsoft's monopoly and their stranglehold on the buying public. How dare Apple compete like that! Mr. Jobs must be getting exactly what he deserves for not knowing his place.
didn't you mean "FIRST!"
No. Sometimes I have too much caffeine in my bloodstream.
I think he meant sick as in, "dude, that new iPhone is so friggen sick. Wanna get some 'za?" (Winks)
Sad, I believe Pancreatic Cancer has the highest mortality rates.
bedbugs. i was the one on caffeine overdose. i am a recovering perez-aholic (its been 13 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, and 7.36 hours since my last look) and was being crass with my "first" comment. how cool is it supposed to be to be first?
anyways, i even bothered to read the comments, which i usually don't because we are a mac family. i really thought your comment was quite witty.
thanks!
