MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

blah blah blah blah, nothing to see here, keep movin

Jerk...
Should "we", some of us readers at MDN forma a blog called "Think-before-you-click.com oi.e., and publish all these kind of shitty pieces from the likes of Mortiz, Thurrot and co. ?

"so it's probably safe to assume he's looking even thinner than before"

There's some hard hitting journalism. Assuming.

Someone should point out to all these pundits that Warren Buffet's successor is not obvious either and Buffet is more important to Berkshire than Jobs is to Apple. However the Berkshire Board knows who the successor is and I am sure the Apple Board at least has a short list.

I hope Phil Schiller does a great job with the keynote. And I hope he brings out Ivy and Cook and anyone else who has something interesting to say and can say it well. If these guys give a great keynote without Jobs, maybe people will begin to realize that Jobs is not the wizard behind the curtain pulling all the levers.

Apple is a big company that would not be so big and successful if only one guy was doing all the work, making all the decisions, and setting all the vision.

Moritz is a Moron

Sing along, you know the song...

He shorts our stock. I want to short his sheets.

I hope Steve will appear looking better than ever and make this guy look like an ass.

Doesnt surprise any of us right? So, no big deal. Plus the Market decides what it wants... they could care less about Moritz or his boss Cramer for that matter.

"That'd be figuratively, as seeing through a slime bucket is quite difficult regardless of mental acumen."

I *was* going to be extremely annoyed by the presence of yet another "Steve Jobs health ONOZ!" story here, but the way that line was phrased in the MDN Take got a good laugh out of me.

Moritz might be onto something. Jobs could be even thinner than before if he started to lose more weight. The sight of him might be ghastly to us.

@devsingh - sounds like a good idea to me!

Peace.

"could be thinner"

And you base this "could" on what?

Slug slime in my garden has more honor than Moritz, and you of course.

Scott Moritz is a well-known flunky of Jim Cramer who founded TheStreet.com. He's always trying to push down Apple, thru TheStreet and the SanJose Mercury News.

This Scott Moritz guy must be one of the AAPL shorts, or he advised people to go short AAPL and will not be crucified.

This is exactly what Apple intended by being mysterious about the health of Steve Jobs leading up to MacWorld. All the stock price manipulators will now be destroyed and their future "advice" will be mostly meaningless.

Fucktards, each and every one. A pox on all of today's "analysts." They are merely stock manipulators, the financial jackals of the night. Bernie Madoff is their pack leader, the rest being mere pups nipping at his heels. May they ALL end up in jail.

the sad thing is, thestreet.com is one of our clients at work. i hate that site, they're the most ill-informed d-bags around. i've gotten into it with this tool before as well, he's not too bright.

OH WoW, The Street.Com it must be true.
What a frigtard

Steve Jobs actually has not lost any weight. Phil Schiller has gained weight. The solution is to make sure they don't appear on the same stage!

As far as I'm concerned, SteveJ did the right thing. I was really hoping that he would do what he did today. Lay this health problem to rest. Obviously the dubious will await Spring to conjour up some other malfeasance for clicks. Let's see, will they wait for Easter or the official march of spring, say "prove you've gained weight by March 21st..."

Such is the world we live in today. Apple is still doing well and the jealousy of these miscreants is what is leading the negative stories.

Steve Ballmer has no obvious successor either, and if you've ever driven in Seattle-area traffic you know that accidents can and will happen...why not start musing about what will happen to Microsoft if Ballmer gets in a bad wreck?

The reason he didn't tell anyone before now is it's likely they didn't know the cause before now -- probably went through a lot of testing, first to make sure it wasn't a cancer recurrence (involving X-rays and CT scans, no doubt; my husband has to go through those periodically after successful surgery to remove a cancerous testicle), then once that was eliminated as a cause, all sorts of other tests.

@justme2:

If Ballmer floats away, MS stock price will go through the roof and they might start to reorganise and do something.

Pray it never happens.

I hope all in attendance to MacWorld will chant Phil Phil Phill for 5 or ten minutes when he comes out to show the pundits it's not just a Steve show!
