I just see no sense in wishing ill upon others when there is already more than enough misery in this world. Yeah, I say this and that about bankers, and let's not forget politicians and advertisers, the bastards, but that's just my frustration with the ways of the world showing.  In reality it's all huff and puff that couldn't blow down a house of straw, sticks, etc... because essentially I'm just a big ol' pussy cat and way too soft.  Oh, and no worries about the claws, mrs s prunes those back regularly.

I hope he weathers the illness well.  But he really deserves a rest.  The man is one of the greatest innovators in the technology age.

He's still in apple and his still a prominent figure. The reason for his departure is to rest and he didn't want the company to have a CEO whose time away didn't have a return date. He'll act as an ad-visor but im pretty sure we can rely on his team to continue the trend he has set. Morale might drop for just a little while but they all know hes available and still on a shareholder pay-roll.  

Maybe now I can get flash for my iPad, a backspace key for the keyboard and not to have to plug my iPad into another computer to update it..  I just want stupid, unreasonable things like that.

Just saw a pic of him allegedly taken yesterday and if it's legit, he's very near death.  Sad, for sure, but I'm surprised he's survived as long as he has, given the nature of the health problems he's had.  May his end be free of pain.

Yep...........Photos are here http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1021250-pic-steve-jobs-afer-resignation/

The Enterprise Linux does cost something (or at least the support does). The reason Linux will not be a big thing the forseeable future is it is highly inconsitent between distros and it has GUI issues.

Trivia - the 5th largest contributer to the 3rd version of the kernel is Microsoft.

Yahoo 7 ran a story about this... link... and most commenters are condemning TMZ for running with them.  Personally, I have to agree with them.  To have the basic knowledge that a major player in the tech world is ill is one thing.... the rest should be private and the press/papparazi need to leave him alone.

Appears the pic was not legit, as I sorta suspected.  The black 'skirt' just didn't seem right, among other things.  Glad that's not reflective of reality, which I suspect is bad enough as it is.

Like they said, TMZ is NOT a reliable source of information... on anything.  It is gutter press television and has NO place in my home.

For mine, I'd rather tune into Sesame Street.... I'd be sure then that the info has legitimacy.

As for Steve Jobs, he is ill and somewhat frail as a result of that, and these gutter snipes should respect his privacy and leave he and his family alone.

What I reckon should happen... these paparazzi mongrels should get some of their own back and be persistently hounded by people with camera in hand... to have all their private and most intimate moments paraded for all to see.

The media, ugh. All a bunch of parasites that'll do almost anything for a story (Look at the Murdoch screw-up for proof on that) and I tend to take almost everything paraded around by them with a few pounds of salt.

That says it all... and I'm not confusing these maggots with real journalists.  Dunno about in your neck of the woods, but we have a few actual journalists here in Oz, ones who have dignity, self respect and treat their subjects fairly.  I've had the chance to meet a couple of them over the years and neither of them seeks sensationalism or stoops to gutter tactics to get a story. 

Nope, they are the exception, true gentlemen.... sadly, there aren't more of them.
