Apple After back and forth rumors about the health of Apple's revered Steve Jobs way back in last year and the beginning of 2009, it turned out that he really did have some health problems: complications with his liver requiring a transplant. It was supposed that he'd return to Apple by the end of June, and now he's finally made his first public appearance since he first took his medical leave of absence earlier this year.

Pancreatic cancer spread to his liver. Of course he got the liver so quickly because of money -- essentially, getting his name onto multiple lists, and paying people full-time to do nothing else than maximize his chances of receiving a liver. The average person could never have gotten one so quickly. Money talks. It's the only reason why Jobs is alive today.


More BS without any evidence. The sickest patients go to the top of the transplant list and Jobs was on death's door. It's possible he got bumped up on the list because of wealth or celebrity but you're basing everything you have said on your own opinion and not on a single fact. If you're going to bash someone who almost died from disease you should at least back it up with at least one fact. Otherwise you just look like an asshole.
