A hater? :confused: Seriously?

I can proudly say I’ve never read TMZ or Perez Hilton.

You have never read TMZ yet you just admitted a few posts back to seeing an article on TMZ about Casey Anthony?? Either you have been on the site or you haven't.. there is no "I went quickly to just look at some pictures".. because to do that you would have had to read and skim through the articles to find it..

I wonder who the idiot is who rated my posts negative...

Yes, the pictures are out there but this is no excuse in publishing them again...

It wasn't me who rated your post negative, if that's what you're saying. In fact I just rated your posts positively, to counter balance the negative ratings.

I don't know what to say. Really.

If these aren't shopped, then Steve will become an angel very soon. He doesn't have long at all.

However, as Steve is a Buddhist, the path to Nirvana is open. He will either enter, or return to us as an even greater being.

It will be a time for rejoicing.

HOLD ON EVERYONE. Lets think logically. If this was really Steve Jobs then I highly doubt he would have asked to stay as a member of the Apple Board. If he is really in this condition he would not be working at all.

Wow, can't believe this is the same guy we just watched a few months ago on WWDC. He didn't look his best, but nothing close to this. Poor Steve....hope this isn't real.....

This is exactly what I thought after seeing this picture. Man, that really has to suck....

I'm pissed at the photographer who invaded Steve's privacy. I'm pissed at TMZ for posting it.

Leave the guy alone. We know he is sick. Ffs what does any body get from seeing this?

I guess you never considered they're using that as an easy route to take to not make the stock hit so bad, no?!?!?! That's my impression

My former boss died of complications of Hep-C . He had had a liver transplant but he never really recovered. He went on a good ten years but when the end came it was within months. He went from looking like an everyday person to frightening.

Cancer survivors usually consider themselves having beaten cancer if they die from something else.

No, I didn't mean that you did that. I am just amazed at how others post things without even thinking a bit.
These people should imagine the following: Their father has cancer and someone posts a photo of him...How would that feel? Where is our decency?

OK, let's think logically. Being chairman of the board isn't nearly as demanding as being a CEO. His health aside, his greatest asset is his mind so it makes perfect sense that he'd want to stay on in an advisory capacity.

I don't doubt it at all that that's him.

My grandpa had cancer, and there was a point where he became so thin and frail, he was basically unrecognizable. I remember going to see him one day, and I was blown away by how much he'd changed in such a short amount of time.

Its an incredibly sad sickness. Something I wish no one would ever have to suffer from. Unfortunately, that's not the reality. I wish Steve and his family all the best in battling his illness.

I'll agree with you there. My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer June 17th and he passed away on July 16th. It was amazing to see what it can do to someone is such a short period of time.

That being said, that picture just looks weird...especially the bottom half.

You are right, the man deserves compassion and to retain his dignity.

However, unfortunately, I'm not surprised at the behavior of many of the highly immature.

They have no class, and no clue.

I think the image shows the real situation; bad enough for him. He loved Apple too much to leave earlier.

It's not fair to shoot and publish or maybe even photoshoped images like this.
Also as a public person, idol or role model: in his situation he deserve his privacy. :(

Haven't seem this posted anywhere else. Not even 9to5- that hack posts virtually anything.

It sure seems that the guy on the right is posing for the pics ... who is he? does he work at TMZ?

IMO these pics are not Steve Jobs

I agree unfortunately. It was done to cushion the blow and avoid outright panic selling the moment the news broke. So terribly sad to see that picture, I wish I hadn't clicked through the link.
