Shit I read Steve's Job at Apple (Steve Ballmer) PHEW!

Superb news! :-D

He has risen!!!!

Good for him, hopefully he'll have better health than the liver transplant patients I've known, who did not fare so well long term. Maybe he will, he has more money.

great steve is back ..so pressure for workers?

Cool deal!

Tom's has been posting way too much apple news for my tastes lately. If its not about exploding iPhones or Apple hushing up hardware problems I really don't want to hear about it. I especially don't care what Steve Jobs has to say about anything or what's been released on iTunes.

And charge people double what our product is worth . . .

Just don't click on it?

I wonder if that mid-20s person was anything like me during my mid 20s, piss drunk everyday... If that is the case, how long will this liver last?

But on a serious note:

It is a shame that such a young person passed, but I hope that everyone does follow this persons lead by signing their organ donor cards with their drivers liscense, it is the greatest gift you can give anyone.

I'm not an Apple fan either. BUT the health of Steve Jobs is incredibly important to stock holder. Don't believe me? Look at its stock the day it was announced he was having health problems! Apple hasn't grown larger than its CEO, unlike Microsoft, which makes this some of the first real news about Apple I've seen in a long time.

I can see him dumping millions into organ donor awareness which I think would be a very good thing.

lol what if the iPod exploded during the event.

OMG!
A whole year without Steve!
How did we survive it?

/sarcasm

Little does Steve Jobs know that his liver is actually a PC fan and his body will soon begin to reject it.

Some of us actually like apples... er.. i mean apple. Even if their products are overpriced and restrictive.

In any case: Good to see steve-o is doing well.

And by saying he hopes everyone can be as generous as his organ donor was, Steve actually meant that people should be generous enough with their money to buy Apple products.

The person died because the ipod in their pocket exploded.

You get an A+ for the post!

I think the initial fanboys cheering this article were probably planted by Apple. Just know that transplant patients require immune system suppressing drugs the rest of their life, they don't live too much longer, and Steve Jobs is an absolute cunt. Knowing Apples propensity for lies, that car crash story may be bullshit, I bet the liver came from here:

But I thought Apple was too good to get bugs? You spend all your time in commercials bashing PC and Vista but now you are telling your users that they can look forward to bug fixes and patches! Oh that's the air of arrogance and hypocrisy I see.

Steve Jobs is a brilliant visionary, and a shrewd businessman. Simultaneously, he is an egomanical jerk who has succeeded largely because of luck and the efforts of those around him (like Steve Wozniak). Personally, I can't stand him because of the crap he pulled with his daughter (denying paternity and forcing her to live on welfare). But that's just me. I guess there are people who are ok with a person like that.

So basically his computers can't get upgraded, but he can??? That's not fair now, is it?

The main reason that this is so ridiculous is due to the fact that the entire future of Apple seems to rest on the life or death of 1 man. If you position your company so that 1 person is responsible for stock prices changing every time he gets out of bed then that is not a healthy position to be in. I for one will not be sorry to see the over priced devices dissapear from our shelves however...

Enough with the apple hate & steve jobs hate. He just had major surgery. We should be wishing him well, not calling him the devil so to speak.

I agree, apple does rely too much on steve. That might also be because he does a damn good job. Well, that and all of the publicity he gets. And yes, apple *could* live without steve; they just might fade into the background a bit.

As for his daughter: how would you like someone insulting how you deal with your family? His daughter, his choice. Perhaps there was a good reason he chose that path.

This was overhyped from the get go. No Beatles no camera for the Touch and no new iPod. This news did not require a event. Any other company would have just made a announcement and be done with it.
Lately these events have been so boring its really taken away from the ideal of the event.

Listen, if you think for a second that this guy didn't go to Switzerland or Sweden to get his treatment then you are nuts. Bullsh_t that he went to a local public hospital. He is a billionaire (who was) at the doorsteps of death so believe me, he used everything he's got to get the best treatment in the World - we all would! The point is, I feel for those poor souls who die daily because they can't get the treatment that they deserve due to lack of money, so no, I don't feel anything for this guy. He had his fun in this World, stealing ideas and money left and right. You think Bill Gates is bad? Hmmm....

ominodis: still doesnt change the fact that he had surgery. would you expect him not to use his money to help? if you had money would you use it? If so, you have no room to speak.

I just don't know what to say.I'm glad that a human got saved but I wonder how many suffered because of that human.
