I am an MD and I guarantee you the words hormonal imbalance don't mean beans. More information needs to be given. "Jobs, 53, said in a public letter that his thinness had been a mystery even to him and his doctors until a few weeks ago, when “sophisticated blood tests” confirmed that he has 'a hormone imbalance that has been `robbing’ me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy.'" So, for the last couple of years that he's been telling us there was nothing wrong with his health, he's been lying! Hmmm. Might fit very well into Obama's regime. # 30 RTaylor said, “I doubt there’s many MD’s posting here.” I am an MD and I guarantee you the words hormonal imbalance don’t mean beans.

Jobs has the same kind of personality. He can't stand not to be in absolute control; first to the 1,000,000th power. At Apple he is. Working for Obama, he isn't. Jobs isn't going to work for anybody. You might reduce him to running his own small business but he isn't going to work for anybody.

The use of the word imbalance is vague and sounds like a PR release. This maybe the first statement in a plan of public releases. If you ease the truth out, there may be less of a dump of the stock. It could also diffuse stock holders suits. If I owned AAPL now, I'd be selling. I doubt there’s many MD’s posting here. The use of the word imbalance is vague and sounds like a PR release.

It was awesome. Then about an hour later, after the reality distortion field had faded, people started to realize that to run the NeXT OS on a 386 you needed about $10K worth of hardware. If Steve wants to get healthy he needs to eat a few cheeseburgers. His vegan diet is obviously killing him.
