That dork who used to be fake steve jobs needs to shut the hell up from now on.

Hey! Did he just insult salmon?

here are my 5 reasons:

1. analysts are whores that need an excuse to keep recieve money for what they do.
2. most web blogs are hit whores that have no real journalistic cred (MDN excluded of course)
3. most journalists are whore that have no real journalistic cred.
4. 95% of investors are whores after a quick buck and don't do any research, like their analyst, web blogger and journalist whore friends.
5. most people love reading gossip. its the reason why supermarket checkouts have a million magazines about people cheating and saying you are too fat.

BTW
happy new years all!

See what happens? No matter what is said: it will never be enough.

All of the questions are addressed, and in a few months i expect we'll see a fleshier Steve, but when will it ever stop?

Funny that this wasn't relentlessly beat to death 4 years ago when he was actually seriously ILL; Apple needed him as much, even more in fact, then.

What on earth will it take for people to believe Steve?

Does he have to have a full medical check up live on TV to prove he his not about to die?

Enough already with this bullshit. Get well soon Steve, all the best.

I think Peruchito's five reasons are more accurate. Gaffen's five reasons put all the blame on Apple and Steve Jobs.

They just can't let it go, can they? It makes me think that they'd like to see Jobs dead. Surely, Balmer and a host of cellphone makers would.

... and douche bags like the editors at Gizmodo will keep printing rumors about people far more interesting than they are.

There's a whole industry of slime maggots built on tearing Jobs/Apple down. It's a tribal thing.

Clearly this journalist has forgotten the Kookanusa Canning Company scandal that rocked the lower mainland of B.C. in the late 70s.

See told you the next bout of 'but how ill is he' etc etc has already begun but hours after the announcement. You will never quell this crap.

The only way this will end is for Apple to introduce the iChinup Bar and for Steve to rip off
twenty fully arms extended to full nose above the bar chin-ups at a press called Apple event.
19 will not be clear enough...he has to rip off 20.
Then, they will say he was only able to do them because his legs were too light and scrawny.
Therefore, at another later event, he will squat 20 times with Phil on his back. AAPL will then soar back to 200. Bank on it!

Peruchito-

You mean MDN included. Remember when they used to have links to all the recent stories at the bottom of the story you're reading? Wonder why they got rid of that...maybe because now you have to go back to their homepage each time you want to read another story, so they get another hit? Hmmm...

no, i don't include MDN. i come here for the MDN remarks, and the witty remarks of most of the posters. i don't really come here for 'news'. i come here knowing not to take MDN seriously.

unlike other sites that are 'serious' about tech journalism.

"...should quell persistent rumors of a terminal illness."

Isn't life itself a terminal illness? And sexually transmitted, too.

@shawnpetriw

these are the kind of remarks i come here for. lol

@ Crabs

"...maybe because now you have to go back to their homepage each time you want to read another story, so they get another hit? Hmmm..."

A hint for you to speed things up and reduce the hits.

Open each story in a new tab > Right click > Open Link in New Tab ... Read the story ... Close the tab, start again.

Funny, they left out one of the most important reasons:

6) Companies competing with Apple (such as, say, Microsoft) have a deeply vested interest in keeping everyone distracted from just how well Apple is really doing, and will do anything in their power to help skew public opinion accordingly.
