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.

Is it just tech forums or does everyone think they're an expert on totally unrelated subjects? The truth is you know jack squat about the situation but it seems to make people feel better to criticize celebrities. It's just particularly vile to me when people criticize life and death decisions with absolutely no idea what the circumstances were.


This is just a variation on the fallacy of argument based on authority. Nobody here needs to be an "expert" to understand or have an opinion on the matter.

It's not an opinion to say that someone died because of Jobs. It's either true or it isn't. You don't know and I don't know what really happened so it is just a disgusting accusation without a shred of evidence.
