Apple 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.

...at no time did Jobs decision to be CEO mean that you get special insight into his personal health...

Oh please. He has enjoyed the benefits (financial and otherwise) of the "Apple=Steve" phenomenon for years and years. It's not at all far-fetched to say that Apple just got a liver transplant.

For shareholders, it would arguably be valid to query just who's old liver they got.

If Steve wanted that kind of privacy, he should have gone into brick-laying or selling bottled water.
