I hope Steve gets well soon. I'm afraid if he leaves Apple again, we'll see a repeat of the slow slide they experienced from 1985-1998.

#112Earlier quoted context omitted.
For those of us who are out of the loop, what was todays supreme court decision?
The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that evidence obtained from an unlawful arrest based on careless record keeping by the police may be used against a criminal defendant. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/15/washington/15scotus.html?h...
Also, mid-article:
The question [...] was whether the requirement established in Apprendi applied to the decision whether a defendant convicted of multiple crimes must serve consecutive or concurrent sentences if the harsher punishment required a judge to find facts not determined by the jury.

#113I'm going down the list reading a lot of the comments and there doesn't seem to be too many wanting Steve to get well soon. So from 1 hacker to Steve, we wish you get better soon mate.
Is it just my impression or has Steve Jobs become some sort of Britney Spears of the techie world? Just the fact that this sort of gossipy news appears everywhere dones't bother me that much (that's media for you), but I wish people would stop their silly speculations about corporate implication and just let the man rest, like he's asking for. This isn't the National Enquirer... Hope he gets well, being sick sucks :/
Agreed. Frankly I think the man's contributed more than his fair share as is. He doesn't owe anybody anything. My guess to his sharing his medical status is more to protect the share value for the other people on his team, whose incomes may depend on it.
I hope the best for him.

I think so too, to put it into perspective - even my mum knows who Steve Jobs is and she is even sad that he's ill.
I asked her yesterday if she knew who Larry Page or Sergey Brin was, she had no idea.
