For the first time since his liver transplant, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has put himself back in the spotlight -- taking center stage moments ago at an Apple event in San Francisco.

Steve doesn't look good.
But I bet you Steve inside
is the same old Jobs.

Jobs took the stage to a standing ovation — and then discussed the liver transplant he had in the spring.

Jobs explained how the liver came from a 20-year-old donor who died in a car accident and told the crowd, “I wouldn’t be here without such generosity.”

And they didn’t even introduce a new Ipod Touch just the same garbage from before, except with a faster processor, what a waste

Nice.

Since he had cancer, what would you or me get when we needed a liver? I think it would be denied because of the cancer that could spread. Must be nice to be rich although I can’t blame him for wanting to save his life but who is still waiting after his cuts in line?

Cuts? He just waited
in many different lines
and one of those lines

moved pretty quickly.
Should we centralize things and
create one "Bureau

of Body Part Needs"?
Government run? Free market?
And would you trust them?

He had cancer. That tends to preclude you from being eligible from getting an new organ. It happens all the time, how did he get one?

It looks like I was wrong. Cancer seems to help in this case???

...Liver transplants in such cases can cure the cancer, although patients remain at risk for another recurrence, Schwarz said. In addition, the powerful immune-suppressing medicine they must take to keep the body from rejecting the transplanted liver also can increase their risks for recurrence...
