OK, not really, but there has been speculation over his appearance on Tuesday during the iPhone G3 unveiling. Jobs had a rare form of pancreatic cancer about five years ago ("rare" in the sense that it wasn't as deadly as normal pancreatic cancer), but nonetheless Apple fanatics (aka "art fags") are clamoring to make claims about how much longer he has left. A sure fire "slam dunk" for all you Dead Pool fans (the game, not the comic book character).
Many speculate that Apple would go down the shitter without Jobs guidance. And it's not an outrageous claim being that it already happened once in 1985 when Pepsi McCokeNostril ran the company into the ground. After replacing him with "The Diesel" Michael Spindler, and 30,00 Apple Newtons in a trash heap later, came Gil Amelio who was (in)famous for his quote regarding Apple as "like a sinking ship" and that his job was to "steer that ship in the right direction." Apple realized that maybe Steve was right all along. And like so much "Say Anything" they came running back to him....standing on his front lawn with the boombox blaring Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" until Steve came back. And it's been a happy day at Apple ever since (well, not really), but that's how everyone likes to think of it. Who knows what would become of the company without Steve?
