Your point's a good one though and thanks for stopping by! Hi,

This post was actually written over 6 months ago and wrongly included in a post on fastcompany today – by someone too lazy to check the date of the post! Back when this was posted, Steve Jobs’ had just given a keynote looking thin – that was all.

Your point’s a good one though and thanks for stopping by!

Rational investors focus on meaningful business analysis, but irrational investors focus on the very mindset that has created the greater financial mess we are all witness to. If focusing on Steve Jobs reminds us of rational behavior that is the single greatest reason why should leave him alone. M.

Interestingly, other than Om Malik, all the top tech 'insiders' I spoke with agree with you. By the way, I LOVE the design of your homepage - excellent! Hey Rad!

Steve Jobs is Apple. Until he proves otherwise, I would be very concerned about his health.

I agree with your point about the importance of Jobs to those who invest in Apple stocks. I still think there needs to be some middle ground. Free speech also has to be considered - I HATE anyone blocking the individual's right to express an opinion. It's a tough call and it's getting a LOT of interest! Thanks Balveer, Hey Balveer,

The only question is how ill? If his medical condition is severe then he needs to disclose it, like Lance ulanof and scoble said. I hope for apples sake and just as a fellow human being that they guys gonna be alright. Carly OK – so for me there is no doubt that Jobs is ill. The only question is how ill?

I think there's good reasons to blog about Jobs and his health and there are negative reasons. As Scoble and others have said, he is the guy behind a business with a LOT of money invested in it. This means his health is widely relevant. Props to Calananis for what he said to that asshole Lyons! Balveer Excellent post and a very good question.

I can understand both sides of this; as a business owner and as a human being. I think the problem is that as soon as a blog posts ANYTHING with Steve Jobs' name in the title it gets a lot of attention. I guess that's always an issue for blogs that sell advetising. I would hate having to blog just to get hits, like the commercial blogs do. Debutaunt,
