Apple Last week, Gizmodo rumoured that that Apple CEO Steve Jobs' health was in a very bad condition, so bad in fact that the "inevitable news" would arrive coming Spring. Then, Apple characteristically declined to comment on the rumour, meaning Gizmodo's story couldn't be verified. As it turns out, Gizmodo's story does have a hint of truth, but luckily, Jobs' health isn't even remotely in as bad a condition as they made it out to be.

Are they telling the truth this time?

Last time they did this, they said Jobs had a "common bug" and flat out lied out about his health. We all know now what was really going on.

Can we believe them this time?

They've never lied about it, its been the same 'common bug' since he's had surgery, his doctors haven't known what the real issue is until now, he was just slowly losing weight.

First it was never speculated one bit he had cancer until he made the announcement that he was having/just had surgery (since the cancer wasn't terminal or required any treatment that would make him or feel sick).

What he's had for the last few years is apparently a hormone issue which hasn't been properly diagnosed by anyone until recently and he is now starting his treatment. Had he or his doctors known it was imply a hormone issue the treatment would of started then.
