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.

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.

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

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.

    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By matthiew · Posted

      Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
