#3Anyone else feel this is a complete non-story?
Friend offers friend part of liver. How is this related to tech or startups, or frankly how is this anyone's business?

#4My dad had pancreatic islet-cell cancer. After a local surgeon determined that the tumor was inoperable, a heroic team at the Mayo took it out. Several years later he developed cancer in his liver, which is now largely nonfunctional.
He just turned eighty, so I don't think a transplant was ever under consideration, but I wonder how he'd be if, say, five years ago I could have given him part of mine. I doubt he would have accepted it either.
I'm happy to say that he was recently kicked out of hospice for being too healthy, but the chances of him making it to eighty-one are very slim.

#5>He tells Apple designer Jony Ive in the book: "I just don't like television. Apple will never make a TV again."
This is hilarious if true. How many man hours of rumour cycles have the tech blogs wasted over this, based on a few comments in Isaacson's book?

Made me smile. Humor doesn't go down well here.

#7>"Steve only yelled at me four or five times during the 13 years I knew him, and this was one of them," Mr Cook added.
Isn't that weird? Didn't Jobs yell a lot? If he used it as a way of pushing people forward (and not just being an ass) wouldn't it make sense to yell at the people you like as well?
