史蒂夫工作是蘋果計算機公司的創建者和CEO。 我喜歡觀看他印象深刻的介紹. 他講話充滿他的激情。 他的對蘋果計算機公司的產品的愛是很強的它更比感染成為。 他的愛不源於自豪感，但從他的信仰。 他相信他的產品是岩石堅實好。 并且那信仰駕駛他的介紹。
在2008年6月9日，當我觀看了蘋果計算機公司電視新聞宣佈了iPhone 3G發行在蘋果計算機公司全世界開發商會議(WWDC 08)期間在聖Franscisco，從很遠坐，我要求我的朋友， 「誰是那個皮包骨頭的傢伙？ 那裡史蒂夫工作？」
我期待史蒂夫工作提供主要消息。
「Bro，那個人是史蒂夫工作，誰？」
我放下我的工作和走離電視較近。 是，他是史蒂夫。 他的瘦削看的出現幾乎做了他一個陌生人對我。 真正地， 他看很稀薄. 當我留下深刻印象對MacBook空氣Thinspiration時，我甚而驚奇看這樣一個稀薄的版本的他! 某些人在網通過告訴他甚而取笑他的骨骼車底架 iSteve nano.
在出現之後， 謠言開始傳播:
- 史蒂夫在2003年末期診斷了與胰腺癌。 然而，在他探索幾乎所有方法治療它之後，他保留了這新聞從蘋果計算機公司股東直到以後9個月。 是技術人，相背與信仰，他最初抵抗了常規醫療干預想法。 但是，史蒂夫在2004年7月最終向手術求助。 如此，這次， 謠言認為癌細胞也許傳播了對其他器官例如腎臟或肝臟 并且造成他極大丟失重量。
- 他的妻子， Laurene Powell，是的另一個閒話說法 餵養他以限制性素食主義者飲食 自手術。 Laurene是有機物食物風扇，并且她甚而有事務生產那些自然食物。 蘋果計算機公司職員在網提及了蘋果計算機公司有顧及素食主義者、像有機物食物的素食主義者和人的美妙的自助食堂。 如此，大概在他的妻子的影響之下，工作改變了他的飲食并且有從丟失了他的重量。
- 另一個謠言說法 他遭受manorexia. Manorexia是厭食nervosa的人版本。 有厭食的病人通常是控制他們的體重由飢餓，清洗，嘔吐，過份鍛煉，或者其他重量控制措施，例如使用飲食藥片或利尿藥物。
然而，蘋果計算機公司輪幅人嘗試了對澄清工作遭受流感和現在抗生素治療之下。 Whether it is just a typical PR spin or not, nobody except Steve knows exactly what happens.
I have searched several Steve’s pictures from year 1997 to 2008. He looks the best in year 2005, after he has recovered from the cancer. Shortly 3 years later, he looks seriously thin. If he is a boxer, he is probably classified in lowest weight category now.
1997 - Coming back to Apple becoming the Interim CEO.
.
1998 - Steve Jobs with his woodsman beard and hamster cheeks. Take note of the arrival of the signature black shirt and blue jeans combo.
1999 - Appearing in Time magazine
2002 - Still spotting clean cut.
Steve Jobs in year 2003.
Steve Jobs in year 2004 after the surgery
Steve Jobs in year 2005, gained bit of weight comparing to year 2004.
Appeared in cover page of Time magazine in year 2005.
Steve Jobs revealed iPhone in January 2007
Launching MacBook Air in January 2008
Appearing on stage with Bill Gates in May 2008
Announcing iPhone 3G (8GB) for $199 in June 2008
Can’t see the difference, how about these few pictures?
If you look at his photo, almost the same pose and same shirt, he looks much thinner between January and June 2008. That is only 6 months apart. Steve Jobs has been wearing his signature black turtleneck all this while. But, this time, in June 2008, the color and the shirt have made him look pale and sick. If he continues to lose weight, he will need a belt for his jeans next time.
According to a CNBC reporter who has interviewed Jobs that day, he said, “Steve’s handshake was moderate, his hands felt bony and I was taken aback by his extremely narrow face, slight build, and noticeable bones through his shirt.” Sound as if Steve has really lost much weight.
Normally, I pick a celebrity and writes about his or her transformation from being fat to slim. But, the main reason I am writing this post because I considered Steve Jobs is a celebrity, in his own class of celebrity CEO. I have high respect to his vision when comes to gadget. Steve Jobs is considered nearly irreplaceable at Apple. He has been a well known architect in coming out with Mac Book, iPod and iPhone technology.
Steve Jobs has his right to keep his health from public. But, as the CEO of one of the most successful technology companies, his health issues will affect many shareholders’ confidence and stock price. I hope that this great man will recover soon. Just like his iPhone, he may be thin, but remains “robust”. Let’s wish to see him appearing on stage again to talk about next version of iPhone, be it two or four years later. I sincerely want to see him doing that again.

My dad died from pancreatic cancer in 2003. Before he died he looked almost exactly like Steve Jobs. If I had to make a wager, I’d guess he has had a reoccurence of the cancer. I watched the keynote on the laptop in a little window so I couldn’t tell how thin he was. This hugeness of the mach turtle neck, not pushing the sleeves up as I’ve seen him do before. I heard someone say that he looks like a vegan.
I’m selling my Apple stock. If Steve survives the year, I’d be surprised.

Oh gosh, I love Steve Job’s presentation, he’s such a wonderful presenter. But seriously, he looked something wrong and I kinda worried about him. He looks fits and handsome on Jan 08 but with the same shirt, he looked way different from 5 months ago. That’s scary. God bless, Steve Job.

Yes, he definitely looks better at the beginning of this year. Maintaining a diet doesn’t simply means one has to eat less, but more like eat appropriately and that’s what I think he should do!!

Comparing Jan and June 2008 photos, he really did look thinner. He did not look healthy in the June photo. I don’t think it’s the vegan diet or manorexia (first time I hear of such a word!). I believe his cancer is back. I really hope my instinct is wrong.

He is battling an ailment and still has the company in mind. Great man. We all have to die someday. But I pray that he achieves whatever goal he set for himself. If his goal is to leave a legacy…he’s already done that.

I’m glad to see respectful comments here… there’s no reason to tie his illness in with the stock.. Apple products are going to do well for decades to come. His direction is imprinted on the company from top down.
We all have our time, and cancer doesn’t affect the way he’s running the company. In fact, we’ve seen more focus and brilliance in the last 5 years than ever before from Apple. They are in the right place at the right time making exactly the right products.
I could get hit by a bus 20 minutes from now. We all could. An illness doesn’t mean that someone will live any longer or shorter…our time is our time. Leave the stock price out of this conversation, and let’s all just look to the future.

My father had pancreatic cancer and became really thin before he passed away. The speed at which pancreatic cancer spreads is truely a horrible thing to see. Steve’s thin and bony looks reminds me of my father. I don’t think Steve has much time left. Maybe a year, but it may turn out to be much less. My thoughts are with Steve, his family, and his friends. It’s a tough road.

God Bless Steve. He’s done so much good for the world.
