[PIC] Steve Jobs Afer Resignation


Recommended Posts

TMZ would not Photoshop a copyrighted image. Plus why would they want to? It is real.

Was thinking the source might have faked it, the image just looks a bit odd tbh, the way him and the other guy are just standing there standing impassively while their pictures are taken.

I also don't know how reliable TMZ is, if they source the images themselves or if they are pulling it from a 3rd party site. I'm just sceptical since I'd have expected more news coverage if he was as close to death's door as that image implies.

I doubt it is photoshopped, that's how very ill people look. They can go from looking totally fine to very bad/thin in a short period of time.

Just look at how quickly Jack Layton (Canadian Party leader who died this week) went from

(May 2011) to
(July 2011) and then death.

Steve has been looking thin/ill for quite some time, so it wouldn't surprise me that he looks the way he does now if his illness has gotten worse. I somehow doubt he would have quit as CEO if his condition was improving or had a chance to improve in the near future.

+1

great example..

To say that mans condition looks bad would be an understatement. I fully believe that the image is NOT photoshop. It is quite possible that Steve just doesn't want to stop working, that its the only thing making him feel like his regular self, and thats also why he took so long to step aside. He's always seemed like a huge workaholic. But yeah, with the right make up and stuff its easy to look healthy for a presentation.

I do think it's photoshopped. Squizzed 10 maybe 15% vertically. Everything in that picture looks a little too thin and tall (the other guy, the truck, floor tiles) IMO.

I don't know, I'm no doctor but the pic might've been taken just comming out of a chemo session or something. I tend to think that someone in that particular condition wouldn't be able to stand on their own or wouldn't be allowed to leave bed to avoid any mishaps.

To sell even more? (It might have been photoshopped by the original source though)

Just looked up the cancer he has... It makes people look this way in a very very short time span... I wish him the best of luck... My grandad passed away of lung cancer on the 6th and he never smoked, He never looked like this tho.. Thanks God... You just never know.

As much as I'm no fan of Apple or Jobs for that fact I wish this on no man and hope for him to recover. No one should go through the pain and suffering of cancer

Agreed. It's horrible to see anyone have to go through something like this. It's truly a shame.

Some people are in denial because they like Apple and they can't imagine him gone. He is in bad shape. This is obvious. It is most likely that cancer is taking him and we don't know how much time he has but the reality is that it's not good. He wouldn't have resigned Apple if he was capable.

The photo is most likely not altered (I won't go into ethical aspects of publishing these photos when the man should be left alone to spend this time at least without media on him) because TMZ bought the photo from PacificCoastNews.

    • I'm so conflicted with the Google Search AI summaries. On one hand I don't like how it's harming smaller websites by greatly reducing traffic which will harm us all in the long run but on the other hand those AI summaries often give me the information I'm after. I have never once clicked on 'show me more' though and never will.
    • Not a single company as small or large it may be is obligated to subsidize its products and sell them at a loss. Your way of thinking is socialist and as a West German with a German brother state but impoverished by state dictatorship and a socialist command economy situated to the East i can tell you - this kind of thinking very quickly leads to products not being produced anymore at all.
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
    • ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
    • The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
