We know it isn't really any of our business but the question has to be asked. Is el Jobso getting a bit thin? Every show it seems he is getting thinner and thinner...almost like he got cursed by a Gypsy or something.
One has to wonder, with his past, is his thinness affecting Apple's stock price?
Now this doesn't mean he has cancer again or is sick or anything. He seems very spry on stage and overall very healthy and happy. It very well could be a quotient of his age. Maybe he is mimicking his products (or vice versa?) Or he could be on the age-increasing technique of food deprivation...or maybe he likes being thin...
But just so thin....GAWD! When did we turn into our own grandmothers already!
Update: The WSJ says they spoke to Apple who stated that SJ has been sick for the last few weeks but powered through the WWDC keynote...also a commenter states:
My dad had the same cancer in around the same date that Jobs did, they have to redo your stomach because he has barely no pancreas, and my dad doesnt have cancer anymore (i hope) but he gets thinner all the time... he has lost like 50 pounds in a year.
If he is indeed sick we wish him the best on getting better soon...

Let us play out these
Let us play out these scenarios:
1. He is sick and going to die, he quits! (like he wasn't already)
2. He is just getting skinnier for the heck of it. (not a bad choice as far as our super-sized society is concerned)
3. He isn't really Jobs, in which case nothing is wrong at all... cough, cough.
That's all the vegan food
That's all the vegan food he's after. Once a week or twice some healthy aka Whoolefoods meat wouldn't hurt.
Insensitive
I find the context this post has been written in insensitive. I don't mind discussing concern but the heartless jokes are too much. We are talking about something that may or may not be serious. Let's show some respect.
lighten up fanboy. Your dear
lighten up fanboy. Your dear leader and his $6 billion are going to be just fine mmmk?
I am sure if you were sick, Mr. control freak egomaniac would respect/care about you.
Sheesh - how do some people look at themselves in the mirror without crying.
you must chill
who's getting excited, noob? take your own advice, and just chillax. try to remember that your right to free speech doesn't stop you from making a jerk of yourself.
i agree, the post is written very strangely. it's like they're worried their jobs is sick again, but are afraid to say so, and therefore make it into a weird and creepy joke. the man's an asshole, but neither cancer nor eating disorders should be laughed at. whatever you think of jobs, other readers may have these conditions.
I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY
I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOLE ARE SO MEAN. CERTAIN THINGS IN LIFE SHOULD BE RESPECTED. IT IS ONE OF THOSE....I AGREE WITH YOU
Please don't turn this into
Please don't turn this into tabloid speculation. People said he looked too thin last time or let too many other people do the talking or or or but uh uh uh....
As a guy who has gained and lost and gained and lost, people always assume the worst when you're losing. As if your not trying and feeling better than ever. It's our sick society. He's middle aged and has had a health scare. He is probably trying to do all he can to take care of himself, including losing weight. A lot of people could do the same.
besides, i didn't like his

Disgusting comments... he
Disgusting comments... he doesn't look good at all and it is not due to be vegetarian or pescarian...
I've vegetarian friends that are fatter than me...
Unfortunately I think he's is still quite sick and that is no-joke for anyone!
Not because he's who he is but because no-one has the right to joke on other people's health problems...
Exactly what I was thinking
That's exactly what I was thinking when the first pictures of him popped up in the live tickers. I hope it's nothing serious but his "eating attitude". :)

My dad had the same cancer in around the same date that jobs did, they have to redo your stomach because he has barely no pancreas, and my dad doesnt have cancer anymore (i hope) but he gets thinner all the time... he has lost like 50 pounds in a year.
"One can't have Falstaff and
"One can't have Falstaff and have him thin"...or should that be Steve Jobs???
Really, I think we should all
Really, I think we should all be showing some respect for him. He's looking thin to a point anyone who cares about him remotely should be worrying. Sure, I'm only saying this on the pics, but he is definitely losing weight when he shouldn't be. Last time I saw him, he was still looking fatter (in a good way) and healthier.
Joking about him trying to match his products, I just don't find that amusing in any way at all. Does it mean that because the MBA is less than 1" thick, mean that he must be so? No. He didn't make all these revolutionary products just to be insulted for it.
i noticed the same thing i
i noticed the same thing i was like jees jobs got skinny!!
i hope hes ok :)
Thin?
I don't think it's cool to make fun of someone's weight or possible disease underlying it either. I don't care how much money a guy has, if he's gonna get sick, sometimes there's nothing you can do about it. More importantly, it's got me scared enough that I've sold my stock. For anyone who cares about apple or has invested in it currently, we have something to think about and its a big deal.
Add to the thinness that: 1) Other guys are on stage with steve at the stevenote, They are floating guys to see who replaces jobs. 2) Steve handled nothing. No close-ups of steve or his hands which may give away health issues. 3) The normally unflappable Phil Schiller looked flappable. The "Activestink" slip is unlike him. 4) He has some unusual weight distribution (belly) which makes it look like liver problems (which fits with his pancreas problems in the past). 5) No CNBC or CNN interview after the note.
Steve has stepped back. Other people are running the ship. Once the world figures that out, Apple may be done. At the very least it will be worth 1/3 of what it is today.
Not good. If you saw the stevenote, you need some major testicles to stay this course.
