The subject of Apple CEO (and Messiah) Steve Jobs has been in the news quite a bit lately. It's nearly making me sick, the nonstop debate -- not about his health, but rather, about whether or not it's okay to discuss his health in the first place. I'm here to tell you: it's perfectly fine. Long ago, Steve Jobs forfeited his right to any privacy on this matter. Read on and I'll tell you why.

Way I see it Jobs is a CEO but he's also a clebrity as in a popstar might be a singer but is also...
Laws pertaining to celebrities are different.
Celebs (and their fans) do have the strange custom to love media attention when they push something new and hate it when things go wrong - nothing new there.
The only new thing is that Jobs is a new species: Celeb-CEO - not really new but whatever.
But that doesn't change the basic rules.
Celeb-CEO's might not be such a good thing as was shown in the dotcom bust a couple of years ago.
I know those guys weren't as celeb as Jobs but I think they are the first of the species.
