I'm sorry, but I can't get around it any more. Over the weekend, we had a story in the reputable Wall Street Journal that Steve Jobs had a liver transplant two months ago in a hospital in Tennessee. This story got all over the Apple media - obviously - and was later confirmed by the hospital in question. All the usual questions arose about privacy, Warren Buffet had a remark about it, and so on. Let's get all these stories out of the way in one go.

As a long time employee of a healthcare company I can only see this as a privacy issue. Yes, Mr. Jobs is a public figure and the stock holders have rights, but do you really think their rights extend to the most personal parts of his life? Is the stock holders money more important than Mr. Jobs' life decisions? Where do you draw the line? Should there be web cameras in Mr. Jobs' house so the stock holders can check up on their investment? How about the author of this story? You are a public figure. Lets put a camera in your bedroom so we can get an idea of what your mood was when you wrote your last story.
