Though I wish Steve the best of health, I would not understand why the keynote need be given by an Apple exec. Steve & the keynote have always about excitement & ra ra look at our new products. Couldn't Apple use an actor / actress to provide this experience.
The keynote & the reveal is about the show, about anticipation & about generating excitement. I bet, with a good script, an actor such as Justin Long (Hi, I'm a mac) could do the keynote.

It doesn't matter about his diet. Whatever he eats, he's always been quite lean, which is fine. But when an already thin person's weight is dropping, then this is generally not an indicator of good health, especially when the person has had cancer. I hope he's following his doctor's orders and getting the recommended treatment and scans. Steve is such an arrogant cuss, I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks he's smarter than his doctors.

Say it ain't so, i don't think apple would be the same without him, he is the core of the apple, pun intended, his precision to details, and design are one that cannot be replaced even jon ive would have a tough time competing. when we all think of apple we think steve, one isn't meant to be without the other
Is this any of our business? Personally I thought he looked the same as he did at WWDC 2005. Steve only cleans up for MWSF. He has a shaven face at almost every MWSF keynote and continues to sport a beard at WWDC. Maybe he's just chilling out in front of the developers. It's not like the developers look like Armani models at these events.

No it isn't any of our business, but expressing concern for a person is a bad thing ?
I don't think so
And how does he look the same if can't see the difference you must be blind

He looks like he grew a beard, got a tan, and is looking slightly more down and to the left. I think he is in good health.Macmadant said:
_Matt said:I guess I see a significant difference. But the fact that you would post images of Steve side by side to prove your point that he is ill is appalling.
I didn't, check the links i gave you

Hey, I'm over 50 -- and I've also had "the big c." A person of "that age" can bounce back to where they were before in six months to a year after the initial treatment, provided they aren't being pumped full of nasty chemicals, or have a recurrence. I think what we're noticing is that Steve hasn't bounced back to where he was before.
well, he looked thiner than usual because of a lot of development stress recently. but he is OK.

comparison pic in that link on this topic. I think it looks like he's either been running or biking - he's thin in a low body fat way that looks athletic and more tan (more time outside biking or running).

Personally, I find this poll-taking on Jobs' health to be in poor taste. Let the man be. He looks fine to me, as one who saw fifty some years ago.
I'm not voting.

Forgive me but being off topic, but vegetarianism, veganism and pescetarianism is not unhealthy.spicyapple said:Steve needs some meat in his diet. That vegan lifestyle sure is unhealthy, or at least he's not a poster-boy for such a lifestyle.
Comon Steve, here's hoping you'll live to 100.
Steve Jobs is a pescetarian - meaning he's like a vegetarian but he eats fish and other seafood on occasion. A vegetarian eats NO animals - no fish, no mussels, no chicken. A vegan eats or uses no products that came from an animal at all - including eggs, milk and honey.
Steve's of Assyrian decent and he's a Buddhist (he was adopted; that's where "Jobs" comes from). Most Buddhists from that area are vegetarians or at least don't eat beef; the cow is considered sacred to Buddhist Indians.
Everybody should watch their diet - vegetarians need to make sure they get enough protein from beans, dairy products, nuts and other foods like tofu and textured soy proteins. I know several vegetarians who have run and placed high in marathons and are very healthy.
It's much healthier than what the average American eats too. And the American diet is spreading to Europe and Asia over time. Choosing a diet low in (or void of) meat and focusing on vegetables and fruits can add years to your life, moreso with regular exercise. Vegetarians as well as all people should make sure they get the daily recommended amount of vitamins and nutrients as well as eating a balanced diet.
Sorry to go on a rant here - I just have a thing about people associating veg*ism with unhealthiness or weakness.
To make this on topic, he's in his fifties. He recently got treated for cancer. He's probably under a GREAT deal of stress (consider that). He needs a vacation, to say the least. If he's sick, STOP WORKING, Steve!
