Steve Job’s health annoucement
A few posts back I made a statement expressing my policy of not discussing Steve Job’s health on our show unless it was publicly appropriate to do so. Now, with Steve’s open letter about his health now seems like as good a time as any to say something.
First, and most importantly, let us wish Steve a speedy recovery as he rests with his family.
More to the point, however, is something I want us all to ponder. Taking the business of Apple, investors, Macworld etc. out of the equation, if you were Steve and were sick like this, would you want everyone to know? Would you want people to know the intimate details of your medical condition if it really did not effect your ability to lead your company?
I will pause as you ponder that….
I know that the speculation before hand has built up to a frenzy and that there is an obligation to shareholders. But people, let’s get a grip on reality.
Steve is a human being.
And if he can still perform as CEO of Apple then you, me, and all the “analysts” out there need to put the duct tape over our collective mouths and leave him alone.
Nuff said?

Just when I thought AT&T was getting better, they pull this stunt.Â
We look back at 2008 on the PC/MAC SMACKDOWN! Here is looking ahead to a great 2009!
I’m glad to be back from the holidays. I’m rested, relaxed and ready to start the smackdown again. After browsing the web today looking for topics to talk about on the next show I came across, what has to be the third horse of the apocalypse.
