Yikes. A five-year average survival rate... that sucks! Then again, my mother-in-law had breast cancer with a 5 year average survival rate.... 14 years ago, and she's still going strong. One can only hope Steve is the exception once again!

Jobs for President!

I like turtles.

Time for a little stock buy back Steve!

Show a little confidence, help us out here.

Yup once Steve Jobs is dead Apple will fall!!!!!!!!

NO stock buybacks. Please. It sends a message to the market that you feel that the stock is in danger. Just look at Microsoft.

Just a thought.

Yup once Steve Jobs is dead Apple will fall!!!!!!!!

Yeah OK!.... What A Dumb comment.

No words here for such ignorance and stupidity.

iJah420 says what a ignoramus.

eeegads. We all die someday. BFD. The guy has had all kinds of rerouting of his guts, he will always have trouble keeping on weight.

"overall 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival rates were 84%, 69%, and 36%"

" analyzed by specific treatment of the primary tumor, the 5-year actuarial disease-specific survival was 63% for the group that had resection "

"In their series of 33 patients, Legaspi and Brennan12 demonstrated that the resected group had a projected 3-year survival rate of 100% "

"20-year period, Thompson et al.15 demonstrated a significant 3-year survival advantage of 82% "
"5-year survival for patients with neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas approaches 35% to 54%.11,14,15,22"

So what this is saying is, if you are not the average patient (ie have liver mets) your survival at 5 years can be 63% or better. I think this person's interpretation that the average person lives 5 years is not responsible. To make an 'average' a lot goes into the equation. old, young, otherwise ill or infirm, patients w/ mets and not, patients whose surgery went well and those whose surgery didn't.

I'm a surgeon. I'm betting on Steve being around for a while.

@ElderNorm

It can also show the company is doing well which.. apple is doing well.. but we are all taking it up the a** with the analysts who should be shot dead or imprisoned for life.

@iJah420

You aren't realising that many people bought into apple because of steve jobs... And if you haven't noticed.. just mentioning that he looks like he needs a sandwich or two can drop the stock alot. If he dies I'd be scared to hold onto my shares in apple in fear of the idiots who will sell immediately and all the banks reporting to sell apple shares since they see it as a good time to dump the shares immediately so they can then report that its a great time to buy and make loads of money again.

Go Steve!
I think he'll last as long as he possibly can, and will is important when fighting anything, anywhere, period.
And he's got enough will for the company, so he'll do just fine with himself.

Again, Apple and Steve not Steve and Apple's many innovative development employees. You know, the people that Steve Jobs thanks when ever he shows of something new ("The one more thing").

Steve guides and approves things. He does not develop them by himself.

Apple needs to bailout or financial institutions! Apple has some 19 billion in cash and ads about a billion a quarter. So, with one quarter's of profits it could make this whole mess go away and become a huge force in the financial world. I would bank at BankofApple. or iBank or AppleBank. Especially if I could DL my transactions right into Quicken (unlike BofA). Diversify!

"meanwhile.... APPL just suffered it's worst one day loss in it's history. Ouch."

no, the entire market did that.

(support our sponsors. this market brought to you by years of republican deregulation and cronyism. thank you.)

I just read the whole thing and realized Steve, if he reads it, will fall out of his chair laughing. It's a bunch of garbage pretending to get into Steve's head and personality and explain motives etc. It is all so ridiculously wrong and pompous.

Back to just using my Apple stuff and enjoying it and being glad Steve is Steve.

Sheesh, what a load of shite,

" To make an 'average' a lot goes into the equation. old, young, otherwise ill or infirm, patients w/ mets and not, patients whose surgery went well and those whose surgery didn't."

I would also bet all the money I have in Apple stock that Steve has had better than "average" quality of medical care. I don't think he had to fight with his HMO for a good surgeon.

Shakespeare died, english plays did not...
Voltaire died, enlightening essays did not...
Marie Currie died, chemistry and physics did not...
Edison died, electricity did not...

They all pushed the boundaries of what they were involved in and though they did not stay around to see how far their efforts go they knew that their mind and work will outlive their physical presence.

Steve Jobs will die when the time comes but what he started will not.

Someday Windoze will die too, I put my money that it happens before Larry and Sergei ships Steve into orbit.

Excellent article. Well written indeed. It took my mind off the financial avalanche Apple experienced today and it gave me a smile about the purchase of another 100 Apple shares on one of the most turbulent days for this great company led by a Genius who thinks different.

Go Steve

cash can take the form of asset backed commercial paper. Apple has 19 billion in cash? Hmmm, what kind of cash? Anybody know?

OK, so these guys have given up predicting the stock market so now they are predicting the life span of famous people.

This has got to be a joke!

Sounds like this Esquire article is high drama, low information value.

"Final" bid? I think he's got a few more "bids" left.

Steve is already immortal. He's responsible for every GUI-based computer on the planet.

Sep 30, 08 - 04:01 am Comment from: NormM

Steve Jobs' surgeon was Dr. Jeffrey Norton, one of the foremost experts in the world on the kind of cancer Steve had. Dr. Norton Claims that "80% to 90% of patients with Jobs' condition survive at least ten years".

So.....the iPhone firmware 2.2 will allow freezing in carbonite?

I agree with MacDaddy,

Steve started a revolution, and I think has inspired the developers of apple, to continue this incredible work, that will continue to keep us in awe.

Steve may die, but I think he's done enough to keep it going in the future generations. His vision has been felt by us all, and apple can continue to succeed, so long as they keep with Steve's vision.

Just like Microsoft can continue to fail, and get worse, even though Gates is only spectating with his lab rat now, that he dares to call a company.

Again I say, I am so glad that print publishing is coming to the end of its days. When all publishing is on the net and people can choose to avoid crap writers and publishers, we can all live a little better without such worthless writing. I will live long enough to see that day.
All this talk about SJ's mortality will boost his life force. He thrives on adversity. He embraces challenges.
Apple is much more than SJ. He would be the first to say so. The thing is we still have old media attitudes around that require dramatic twists like this 'OMG what will happen to an Apple without SJ? Who will come forward to save us?
Those who understand, know that like all of us, he's here until he's not. Where's the merit in second-guessing fate? It's crap journalism. It's a sure sign of Esquire's imminent demise, nothing more. The average magazine survival time after publishing an article like this is less than 12 months.

"When all publishing is on the net and people can choose to avoid crap writers and publishers, . . ."

F*ck these morons! Nothing is over til it's over and the last time I looked, crystal balls were all sold out.

Well what a surprise lots of BITTER INDENIAL of Jobs' FACTUAL MEDICAL PROGNOSIS , Apple fanbois here.
@macbones "I'm a surgeon" - LOOOOOOOOOOL - an deluded as fcuk Apple fanboi LYING out of his A$$ as usual as the truth spells DISASTER. You don't have a clue about those statistics because they demonstarte you are completely IGNORANCE of the SCIENTIFIC method (therefore NO SURGEON ! lmaopmp - fcuking desperate DUMMY) by using such evidence to prove your point, such small scale tests are meaningless - quite clearly since they contradict each other .

@NormM Yes but you DELUDED dumb FCUKWIT - Dr Nortons is talking about patients who are YOUNG,CHRONICALLY NOURISED, CHRONICALLY not OVERSTRESSED (ie Jobs being an IMPASSIONED about his work hands on CEO) etc PATIENTS not half dead already GRANDAD Jobs
From larger studies it is possible to make 5 years but NOT JOBS hes too OLD, suffered too MUCH LIFETIME STRESS, his beaten BODY is already MALNOURISHED at this early stage (essential for the immune system (natural cancer fighter) to be the most efficient) - he'll get a year BUT the last part will be infirmed.

I'm afraid for the indenial, Jobs is STILL an essential part of Apple success, but more importantly an IRREPLACABLE one, he is COMPLETELY unique and has NO SUCCESSOR (Apple has never had success without him) - he motivates, he puts the fear of god into his staff with his unique beliefs and GOD complex and obssesion with apearance beyond anything else, he guides ideas, he acts as quality control, his " PERFORMACES" are part of the selling/promotion to UNACCOUNTABLE fganbois he is a GOD - whose everywords are the GOSPEL truth - " BUY this product and your life will be better" he says (more or less) and out in their droves the disciples buy the latest TURD with a pretty ribbon - "doesn't it smell great - THEY ALL say in UNISON - no individual mind or thought whatsoever ever - in their imagination they are by far the most intelligent + seperate species from the rest of the human race on the planet!!!

Liver is one of the most important organs of the body that participates in body cleansing. Bile secretion reduces if toxins start accumulating in the liver,. The cleansing action performed by the liver drastically deteriorates as a result of which the liver becomes a store house of toxins in the long run. It very critical that you liver must be maintained clean. So periodic liver cleansing is absolutely essential
