“It was August 24, 2011 and it was destined to be the last board Apple CEO Steve Jobs would attend. He decided to attend this meeting in person, despite being on leave of absence,” The Economic Times reports.
“‘He was eager to do it in person. Rather than merely send a letter or attend by phone,’ writes his biographer Walter Isaacson, who is also the CEO of the Aspen Institute,” The Economic Times reports. “Some of the members already had an inkling of what was coming.”
“After the sales projections, were read out, Jobs said he had something very personal to share. Tim Cook, who had been Job’s confidante, and acted as CEO in his earlier leave of absence, asked him whether he and other top managers should move out of the boardroom,” The Economic Times reports. “Jobs paused, then decided that they should, writes Isaacson.”
The Economic Times reports, “Once the room was cleared, Jobs read out: ‘I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.’ There was a long silence.”

Here’s to the crazy one(s).
Chilling.
The hard cover book, ‘Steve Jobs’ is a great read. The quality of the physical book has a lot to be desired. My copy has a curving front cover and the glueing on the cover is not good. Steve would be really pissed at the quality – or lack of.
My iPad version is mint.
The spine on mine is printed upside down.
Truly amazing…
With exception of one typo that I detected . . . so far, I’m only three quarters of the way through. I wondered if there wouldn’t be one given the sped up pace of the publication date.
If you’re wondering, the one I caught was the spelling of “ever” as “every.”
Anybody else see it?
Yes, I caught it. I finished the book and as far as I know that’s the only error. Awesome book.
Just finished his book. As expected, it was riveting, and brought tears to my eyes. I can hardly believe how much I miss him.
I hope Apple posts every single one of his keynotes on iTunes. I’d watch them all over again.
Fair winds and following seas Steve.
I feel you . . . .
How many decades will it take before there is another man with Steve’s brilliance, integrity, work ethic, and dedication? Once a century or millennium?
People are only now beginning to figure out what we’ve known all this time.
I find these stories fascinating. They give great insight on how one goes about their lives when the inevitable is close by. In the case of Steve Jobs, it really fleshes out more about the man and how admirable, brave, and special the man was.
“respiratory arrest due to pancreatic cancer” — that some awkward phrasing since pancreatic cancer does not cause respiratory arrest. Cancer patients usually die from intoxication (due to internal organs like liver or kidneys cease to perform their functions properly since their tissues got replaced with tumorous tissues), not because they suffocate.
I read that Jobs had suffered sever pneumonia brought on by his weakened state. Many people bedridden, weakened and ravaged by mortal diseases are often listed as death due to respiratory failure, as that is the most direct reason for a death at a particular time. We know that Steve stepped into death from “respiratory arrest”, but it was the cancer that delivered him to that point.
If Jobs had pneumonia prior to his death, then this was the cause of respiratory arrest, not cancer. Anyone can die of severe pneumonia in weakened state. The cause of the weakening — either too young or too old age or cancer is another matter.
So basically if Jobs would not get pneumonia, then, even though weak, he could live for months and maybe even some of experimental medications he was taking since August would do the trick (though that would be likely, but small chance existed).
I suppose Jobs was really disappointed that he was not given chance to fight the actual cancer to the end. Pneumonia killed him before cancer or before, though not very likely, chance for survival.
*(though that would not be likely, but small chance existed).
