I certainly hope that Apple's success isn't that deeply dependent upon Steve Jobs.

I thought Jobs was understating his illness all along, but I’m terribly pessimistic regarding Apple. We’ll see if this gets swept under the rug and made “okay” somehow, like the options backdating.

I thought they made a big mistake bring him back in the first place.

Seems I was right.

I guess the SEC has all the time in the world for Jobs but not Madoff’s record of red flags. Our system is so messed up.

Three things:

1. The only photos I've seen of Jobs look bad. He looks seriously ill in them.

2. People keep referring to his MacWorld appearance, which was something like a year ago. Has he not been seen at all? It seems like some paparazzi could make some big dollars getting shots of him getting into a car, leaving his house, or coming out of a doctor's office. If he really hasn't been seen by anyone except Apple personnel, his doctors and his family, that's telling.

3. The speculation about his health hurts the stock more than bad news would, IMHO. Sword, you keep up with all things Apple, is Jobs doing a Howard Hughes now?

Oh, one last thought. If a Jobs appearance would reassure people, I think he would have appeared in public. OTOH, if Jobs looks worse than he did at MacWorld, ...
