Excellent take. This writer can read and comprehend English, write about it, and refrain from attempting fiction in her reporting. She clearly stands above her fellows.

oh! and for the guy with the track record problem…yes the record with Steve is better, but now that Steve has infused every employee in that company with focus on what they need to do and how to carry the torch without him, he could leave today and Apple would do just fine.

Apple knows what to do. It’s the rest of Wall Street that would be screwed as they’d not be able to write enough doom and gloom stories to satisfy their hunger.

Actually it’s not surprising how many people screw up a story. The tacky thing was the guys who hacked MacRumorsLive during the keynote and spouted up a bunch of dribble because their sorry butts have nothing better to do with their parents money.

If Steve’s not feeling well it’s a concern. For him.

Apple is a corporation that has rules and regulations in place to protect it and its shareholders (HEY YAHOO TAKE A FRICKING LETTER!!) that the board will exercise when the time comes to choose a new leader. They’ve done it before, they’ll do it again.

Everyone out there who bought AAPL feels like this company is still in the garage and if 1 guy passes that the entire company is doomed.

I know he shakes his head everytime he reads one of those stories (and he does read all of them. Don’t be fooled, the man will probably read this one and laugh too). Don’t be surprised if he doesn’t post something here as well.

The end for Steve is not here. If it is…well then God bless him and safe journey to where we’ll all be some day. We’re ALL going there. Wherever there is.

But for now..break out the guitars crank up the volume and blow out some windows as Prince would say “and party like it’s 1999!!!!!!”

Oh and Yahoo…wake up people there’s a tide coming in and your butt is a sandcrab on a beach about to be eaten up by the wave.

I wish Mr Jobs a long life, and normally would say its none of our business how happy, well, etc. he is.

But Apple is a public company, with a track record with Mr Jobs and without. The record is clear, Apple needs Jobs.

Until there is a solid transition plan to someone who can keep the magic of Apple going, anything that questions the current visionary is legit business news.
