Please have some respect. Regardless of whether you like Apple or not, making a sarcastic remark like that is a little shameful.


On another side note, I hope it's nothing serious, but for some reason i saw something like this coming. ]]>Jan 14th 2009 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/

He's already done every one of those things with iPod, iTV, and Nike.

I thought it was amusing, all things considered. =C]]>Jan 14th 2009 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/
I also find this news interesting, especially with the recent rumors buzzing around about the very subject. I have a feeling the news about his health is not recent, but that is what they are saying to cover up their previous statements.

As a Windows user, XBOX player, AND Iphone/ipod owner.. i'm neutral in saying this. From ANY point of view, its NOT nice to laugh at people being sick.

Lets just hope Karma is real after all.....

Also... @ Flashpoint... good post, you made me laugh :)

He was not banned for making fun of Apple.

He was making fun of a person's health condition.

Theres a huge difference.

Were not dealing with companies right now, were dealing with a human life.]]>Jan 14th 2009 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/
Look man, just ignore everybody that is freaking out about the comment that you just made. It seems that everybody is too stupid to realize that you were speaking not about Steve Jobs, but the media that always blows everything out of proportion when news has anything to do with him. (Not to mention the fact that he clearly wants people to stay out of his personal life, made very clear by his letters.) Johan was simply trying to illustrate the pathetic general public that invades "important people's" lives...]]>Jan 14th 2009 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/
Yes Steve Jobs bought Pixar, but Pixar (selling high end imaging computers) was a flop as Jobs intended it (pretty much as all of his non-Apple projects were). It wasn't until it was failing that it started pushing towards making movies. In fact if you look at the history of Pixar, its really John Lasseter who was initially just making demos to show off the hardware who really made Pixar what it was.]]>Jan 14th 2009 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/
Johan S.'s Comment did not deserve a ban unless the person who banned him is a total fanboy who does not understand sarcasm . Now go ahead , ban me too ,because i"m not coming back here.

what is interesting to note is that Steve will still be a player in major decisions. sounds to me like he'll be at home resting up (or perhaps in a hospital for the first few weeks) and ichatting daily with the boys at the office to keep up with what's going on. no biggie. ]]>Jan 14th 2009 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/Jan 14th 2009 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/Jan 14th 2009 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/Jan 14th 2009 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/Jan 14th 2009 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-is-taking-a-leave-of-absence-from-apple-due-to-healt/
