was steve jobs just very private with his health? this seemed to just come out of no where.
I think he was just private with his health. And you can hardly blame him, considering how Apple's stock took a dive every time his health took a turn for the worse.
exactly. health is a personal thing, even if you're a tech celebrity. he's a professional man, steve jobs, who kept going till the end. i respect that.
I'm actually waiting for the moment the mods feel it's necessary for them to step in with a white bar above this thread. Hope it doesn't happen though. RIP.

It was pancreatic cancer... unless found incidentally in a really early stage, there's no "not that bad" possible.
i'm almost 100% sure steve jobs did not have an adenocarcinoma
if he did, he would've been dead a long time ago
edit: he had an islet cell neuroendocrine tumour which has a far better prognosis.
PC for the forseeable future, but I love the iPod. Best touch screen I've ever used and it's an amazing product for all its criticism. I remember in middle school when having an iPod was a rarity and listening to music while walking around was never seen. Now almost everyone has an Apple product and you see earphones on people's heads all the time. Steve Jobs revolutionized the modern world. He was one of this century's geniuses.
Steve, I cannot say I have ever used your products or have ever believed in them. I've never bought one and have no idea how to operate that damn OS when my family member had trouble trying to use it. I've used Windows as long as I remember.
But I've watched every one of those "unveil" videos you hosted (I guess is the word), and I absolutely loved every one of them.
RIP Steve Jobs I don't even know anything about him and I wanted nothing to do with his products, but his personality striked me as very homely, as if he was a person who can easily be befriended. Who can keep their weapon and shield in their hands? No, you gotta drop them!

However he was a visionary and I have always respected him for that. R.I.P.
I've been depressed since noon when I heard about this... I watched thiss interview with him andd bill gates on youtube a couple of months ago and I think that made me something more than just a fan. I'm so sad especially after watching some more of his videos today. RIP
I always thought Apple made shitty overpirced product and i never touch or would touch something they made except for the old Ipods. However non can deny that Jobs was an innovator and he was the guy who ran Apple in all aspects, honestly im not sure what apple will do without him. He was a great man and he deserves respect for being one of the first to come up with the PC concept.
not a mac fan myself, but he definitely made his mark on the technology industry. Probably revolutionized it to be honest.. But this isn't the place for such debate, so my condolences to the family and friends of Senor Jobs.
Not a fan of Apple, but that man is a genius who transformed Apple, you don't get many people in yourl lifetime who has that ability and charisma to do such great things. RIP.

everything i've read said he died of pancreatic cancer, and according to wikipedia "95% of pancreatic cancers are ductal adenocarcinomas" so yea, i dunno if it's right but it seems that's likely what it was(based on my 10 seconds of half assed research)
