To put it simply, Apple has been lying to their shareholders about Jobs' health. From the photos it doesn't look like he'll be able to do any kind of work on either the board of Apple or Disney.
Jobs should have resigned months ago.
On a personal level, it's just sad, and I really wish those photos never would have been published.

That is a pic of some TMZ schmuck posing outside of Jobs house and then they photoshopped it ... the straight parts of the black thing near the knees is proof.
look closely
He looks kinda scary, like, you could wake up tomorrow and he wouldn't be in the pictures anymore...
Anyway, best to Steve, I don't think he would have resigned unless it was severe, so I reckon it's probably real.
Do I believe that's Jobs? Yes.
Do I believe it's a bit photoshopped? Probably some, yes. To make it look that much worse.
Is the situation very very very bad for Jobs? I believe so.
It's not just TMZ. It's all over the web. Sites like Reuters are discussing the photos. No one has been able to say definitively they aren't real. In fact, most legitimate sites aren't spending much time discussing whether they are real or not. Instead folks are discussing whether or not TMZ should have posted them. A much better discussion IMHO (and probably less fraught with petty insults).
The gown? To me, that would be "so Jobs". He can't wear the black mock turtleneck, so he'll have a black mock neck hospital gown made. Wouldn't surprise me a bit.
My thoughts are with him and his family.

The good news is that he's still standing. Near the end with my grandfather, he couldn't even get up when he had little trouble months before.
He probably hasn't been too involved with things for several months now. He is in really bad shape. This transition has been in the works for a while now. I can't believe that people here actually think that he just walked in two days ago and resigned and the Board of Directors was shocked. It has been kept quiet, but it has been ongoing for a while now. The decline in his health has been apparent every time he makes an appearance. The man did what he loved at the highest level possible for as long as he possibly could. Cancer reared it's ugly head and he can no longer do what he did for his entire life. It's sad to see this happen to anyone, not just Steve.
There are some straight lines on his "little black dress", but I don't see any obvious 'shopping when you look at the head and shoulders.
Also, note that the bumper on the car forms a perfectly straight line.
maybe you could offer something like, facts? Your strong opinion will never replace the truth.
1) I hope this photo is fake or shopped or not him
2) if it is real and if it is him - i hope you get better soon steve
- you gotta be around when the spaceship lands in cupertino

This is hard for many of us to fathom, seeing as he is such an inspirational man
It's funny, reading the comments on TMZ: Lots of people chastising TMZ for running the photo, but no one is denying it's Steve Jobs, unlike here. If you saw him (with open eyes) at his last keynote, you new this was coming. Very sad indeed, but entirely expected.
Someone needs to cure cancer now. This is ********* that it has been so many years of finding a cure and nothing.
I don't think anyone is denying that the face is Steve Jobs, I think people are wondering if the picture is real or if it's photoshopped.
