So sad. I wish him all the best. I have enjoyed his innovation and leadership of Apple since 1986. Apple will continue to be a great and innovative company I'm sure.

Thank Steve Jobs, for everything you have done to move humanity forward, make life better, and improve us through technology. Mac user since 2009. I know, late in the game, but as fervent as the gray-beards!!!!

But more importantly, thanks for showing the winbloze fans that USING A COMPUTER SHOULD NOT AND DOES NOT HAVE TO BE COMPLICATED!!!!

If Steve Jobs cancer has reoccured either pancreatic or liver his advisors should be in contact with one of six Proton Beam Therapy Centers for treatment.
Loma Linda University Hospital offers excellent treatment using Proton Beam Therapy on certain cancers.

Doctors in the San Francisco Bay Area are not informed when it comes to the
alternative radiation treatment for some cancers and tumors. Proton Beam Therapy centers are having wonderful results for all types of Cancer.

Best wishes to Steve Jobs and his family.

Best of health to Steve Jobs! My family thanks him for his innovations and what he's brought to the world of technology! Technology is a double edge sword! As for now it has improved our lives and we're not slaves to the product unless we choose to be! God bless you Steve!

Breaking news!!!

99% of America doesn't GAF.

The 1% that do GAF think they are smarter than the other 99% because they pay absurdly inflated prices because they think it makes them cooler than the next guy.

Incidentally, most of them incessantly rail against "the corporations" and bitch about how much CEOs get paid. This diseased fruitcake gets a free pass though since he is their dope man.

I love my Apple products! Thank you, Steve, for your innovation and leadership. My grandchild (age 2) would agree as he loves his "myPad."

Best wishes!

Thanks Steve for a great range of products over the years. I started with Apple 2+. Disappointed to read several negative blogs. Their ignorance shows why the world is the way it is. No one has to buy Apple but they don't get to where they are without engineering excellence. All of my friends and grand kids are now changing.

Does this now mean that Apple computers are going to be run only with MS DOS? ;-)

Pity really, he practically saved Apple single handedly during the dark days when the company nearly got sunk by incompetent managers. But he's still going to be around for a while nudging the company in the right direction and making sure it stays the most innovative setup in the world.

You think you are smarter because of a propaganda article? You actually played into my stereotype perfectly.

It is posted in an Apple forum. I can't decide if Apples fans qualify as a cult or as addicted persons.

That's an ad-hominem fallacy. The information didn't come from the site. The site just re-reported it.
