Sorry for the OT post but this pic was attached to the heading of this story on AOL today. Is this really how Steve Jobs looks now? Is the cancer affecting his appearance as he looks much different than I remember. If I didn't know he had cancer, I'd almost suspect he had some kind of radical plastic surgery. His nose sort of has that Michael Jackson look to it where it never did before. What's going on?

Here he is in a fairly recent picture.

His cancer is gone but he had a Pancreas and Liver transplant two years ago and he is taking major anti rejection drugs that interfere with his appetite. The pancreas is heavily involved in digestion, conversion of carbohydrates to fat, and production of cholesterol that transports fats. His is not working too good any more. His Krebs cycle is not working properly. I think he is not producing fat properly or sufficiently... That's why he took the medical leave of absence. Protein he can do well, fats and carbs? Not so well.
