    Is that just a small storm cellar? Or is it something far more cool than that?



    Anybody know?

    My father died of pancreatic cancer, we all went to celebrate his birthday at a restaurant. At the time he was able to walk around and whatnot. 6 weeks later he was dead.

    I wonder if Steve has tried to convince Obama to ditch the Blackberry and get an iPhone?

    Steve should've worn a suit, tie not mandatory of course. I find it rather inappropriate he dresses like that with the President.

    I don't know that Steve Jobs looks very much thinner than President Obama. IOW, he's doing fine. We need to leave him alone.



    I'm coming to the conclusion that this crap about S. J.'s health is just about driving the stock price down. This is the kind of merde that the shorts pull. Either that, or it's an attempt to put pressure on Apple to accede to the demands for a "succession plan". If so, then that's even more despicable, since it also indirectly puts pressure on a person who needs to spend his time getting better, not worrying about merde like this.



    Please, Steve Jobs, if you're reading this, ignore this merde and concentrate on staying healthy! Your family needs you! Let the parasites go suck air.

    The house is a perfect microcosm of all that is wrong with the government trying to prevent Steve from doing what he is best at. He took an eyesore, and will allow Jony to replace it with gleaming glass and steel.



    He's building the best content distribution system in the history of the world, and the government is screaming antitrust. I hope he wins there just as big as his victory over that old claptrap of a house.

    Your own heading "a few random, meaningless observations" says it all. Why bother?

    Funny how Obama can get away with this. A Republican president would immediately be criticized for being in cahoots with buisiness/industry.

    You're right... I missed looking for Doerr.



    Thanks.

    I'm sorry about your father, but that's not relevant. Six weeks from now any one of us could be killed in a car accident. He's here now and he's clearly able to function. We need to be thankful for every minute we have him.

    Yeah, right. Bring politics in. Let me guess: you're not a Democrat.

    Not a Dr, but if I had a liver transplant I would probably be drinking lots of water, and no booze.

    Correct.



    John Doerr is a superstar venture capitalist. Backed Amazon, Google, Intuit, and Sun Microsystems, the latter which was acquired to Ellison's Oracle. Doerr sits on Google's board.
