Because the original post was about how the reporter disclosed the gist of his off-the-record interview with Jobs.

I'm pretty fascinated by hormones and have done a decent amount of reading on (well, admittedly mostly the female) endocrine system. Random interest on my part.

When I first heard that he had a "hormone imbalance" that was depleting proteins... I was like, "What hormone? Which one?" -- And I thought, why wouldn't that be directly related to an organ?

Paging DocTalk.

 

Re: Steve Job's health

This video link where "Fake Steve Jobs" blogger Dan Lyons rips CNBC Tech reporter Jim Goldman for being "punked" by Apple over stories on Jobs' health is pretty funny.

CNBC tries to spin it as they can only print what their sources tell them and they were probably all right at the time but things may have just suddenly changed.

And starting at 3:13 Lyons starts ripping them a new one. ...

Joe Nocera says Jobs still isn't telling the truth:

It’s Time for Apple to Come Clean
By JOE NOCERA

Last week, when Steve Jobs announced that his recent weight loss was due to “a hormone imbalance,” I got calls from reporters and others (which, I must admit, I ducked) asking me if that was the medical problem he had confessed to when he and I had had our infamous phone call last summer — the one where he called me a slime bucket and denied that he had a recurrence of cancer. The answer is no, it wasn’t. It was something else — which of course I still can’t disclose because the conversation was off the record.

I said at the time that I knew I was being spun by Mr. Jobs. But I didn’t think I was being lied to. Now, I’m not sure what to think. It is certainly possible that he had the condition he described to me last summer. It is also possible that he did, in fact, have “a hormone imbalance,” as he announced last week, as rumors swirled again about his health. And it is even possible that a few days later he discovered that his problems were “more complex” — whatever that means — and that he only just realized that he needs to take a medical leave. It is possible, in other words, that he and Apple are telling the truth.

Was just searching for this thread to update it.

Apple stock down 6% in Europe.

Will be an interesting day tomorrow. The U.S. market opens & Apple reports earnings.

 

No one lives forever. The CEO position will switch hands at some point.
