Photos - Emaciated Photos of Steve Jobs Surface the Day after His Resignation

Friday, August 26, 2011

Update: Steve Jobs died October 05, 2011 from his cancer. RIP Steve, you changed the world and we will miss you.

Original Post:

Earlier this week when Apple CEO Steve Jobs tendered his resignation letter to the board of directors at Apple he said the day had come where he could no longer do his job.

Jobs has been on a “Medical” leave since January and has not been seen or photographed in public for the last six months.

And now we know why.

Today, photos of an emaciated Steve Jobs surfaced that unfortunately tell his story of pancreatic cancer and the resulting treatments.

The photos are shocking and show just how far along Steve’s illness has progressed.


Believe me, I have been around many terminal patients and when they get to this stage it is just a matter of time before they pass away.

That will be the next Steve Jobs headline.

So sad.

I suspect with Steve’s high IQ and great wisdom there must also be a healthy dose of pragmatism as well.

We really debated long and hard before writing this story and publishing these pictures. But the Bible says God gives us the sick to humble the healthy, and He gives us the poor to humble the rich.

Somehow, we pray that whatever message this post can send will be sent - and you will hear it in your own way, for your own needs.

God speed Steve Jobs.

You changed the World and that’s more than I can say I’ve done…

Steve Jobs Resigns From Apple - The End of an Era

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

An iconic business leader that carved his company into the culture of not only America – but the World, is stepping down.

Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs has just announced his resignation from the company.

Jobs, who was an instrumental figure, along with Bill Gates and Microsoft, during the early days of personal computers, has navigated Apple through the development of the original Macintosh computer all the way to the now ubiquitous iPhone.

Jobs, who has suffered several medical problems including pancreatic cancer, sent a letter to the Board of Directors on Wednesday.

“I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come. I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.”

Jobs, who has recently appeared gaunt and clearly showing signs of weight loss, is expected to stay on in some capacity with the company for as long as he is able.

Jobs has recommended to the Board that he be replaced with current Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook.

Apple became a household after it released its now famous “1984” television commercial for the original Macintosh computer in 1984.



Steve Jobs became an instrumental leader in the personal computing industry with the first computer to ever use a mouse for navigation.

His stage presence and presentation skills are legendary with his ability to whip a crowd into a frenzy with his new product announcements.

Comparing iPhone 4 vs. the smartphone elite: EVO 4G, N8, Pre Plus, and HD2

Monday, December 20, 2010

We know how the iPhone 4 sizes up against the aging 3GS -- but how does it fare against its fiercest competitors from all the major platforms? We wish we had some production Windows Phone 7 kit to check out here, but in the meantime, take a look at the results against the gruesome foursome of the EVO 4GN8Pre Plus, and HD2. You might be surprised by some of the results -- and sorry, RIM, you don't get to play until you bring some fresh, media-heavy hardware to the table. Nothing personal! 
 iPhone 4 launch timing coincides with the end of many unlimited data plans — including AT&T’s. Unless you’re grandfathered it with an existing plan, that is.


Here are the results (from most to least) for the “unlimited” plans:
  • Incredible: $3,079
  • iPhone 4: $2,959
  • Evo 4G: $2,839
  • Nexus One: $2,440










Man Gadget: Apple iPad

Monday, March 29, 2010

If you follow latest IT development, you should noticed the hottest news lately. Yes. Apple iPad. My first impressions of this device are largely positive. Apple has once again built a product that looks good and feels great in the hand, and the familiar user interface, borrowed from the iPhone and iPod touch, is perfectly suited to the bigger screen. The iPad whizzes along, opening applications, re-sizing web pages, and zooming in and out of maps almost instantaneously.





It's a great, fun gaming platform, and it's lovely to view full-size web pages while browsing the internet. Developers, no doubt, are already rubbing their hands with glee about the apps and services they could tailor specifically for this device.



As Steve Jobs said during his keynote, if you're going to create a third category of device, between the smartphone and the laptop, then it needs to be better than either for certain tasks. In many areas, this is true for the iPad -- web browsing is much better on the iPad than the iPhone, just because of the bigger screen, and physically flicking through photos, music and movies is just more enjoyable on the iPad than a laptop.



Apple has already sold out its initial supply of iPads, which is going to be delivered on April 3rd. If you make an order now, you will have to wait until April 12th. Apple has only started delivering Wi-Fi enabled iPads. If you don't mind to wait slightly longer, 3G enabled iPads will be ready and ship by late April.
