SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Steve Jobs, Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL)'s charismatic co-founder and chief executive, said Sunday he had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his pancreas.

In an e-mail message to employees, he said he will be off to recuperate during August and expects to return to work in September.

He identified his cancer as an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, which he described as rare and said could be cured by surgical removal if diagnosed early. He said his was caught early.

A far more deadly - and common form - of pancreatic cancer is adenocariconoma, he said.

"I mention this because when one hears 'pancreatic cancer' (or Googles it), one immediately encounters this far more common and deadly form, which, thank God, is not what I had," he said in the message.

Steve Jobs = my #1 idol. A genius, and insanely great person. He thinks different.
In this time of hardship, all we can do is pray.

On another forum *cough cough* this same subject went on to become ways to use a laptop properly.What with all the electromagnetic fields & such people were concerned if this led to Steve's illness.Which btw Steve if you're reading this get well soon!

Vegan? I thought he was just a vegetarian. Wow, now that I know he's a vegan, I have even more respect for him (I'm not even a vegetarian, but I have great respect for them and even more for vegans). So, I hope he gets back to his old self soon enough, and he hope he's OK in time for the unveiling of the G5 iMac!

P.S. It's really rare to find a capitalistic billionaire CEO that's a vegan! That's pretty cool! Then again, Bill Gates gives a lot of money to charity, so I guess it balances out.

Has anyone heard any news on his status?
Get well and stay well Steve!

Don't fall for the hokum about the EM fields in computers being dangerous. No links between such EM fields and cancer have been established. Furthermore, the only way for such an EM field to provided any form of harm is when it converts to heat. So if you keep yourself from being burnt by the computer, then you are safe.

what the **** are u talking about? whats EM? electro-magnetic?

 

[gort]

who cares if he's a vegan. I bet there have been some vegetarian or vegan rapists or murderers. What is itabout not eating meat that commands respect?

 

[Strider]

not eating meat is apparently good for ur body and for the earth, the soil and all that

 

[Icarus]

If we aren't supposed to eat meat why do we have these little pointy teeth? C'mon folks...eat a cow! It's the RIGHT way to do things! (oh, good luck steve....?)

 

[gort]

Exactly....we don't stop lions from eating zebras...it's nature. The only difference is we have an efficient way of making sure our food is safe to eat and not raw.

 

[Icarus]

I think lions are also stronger than we are in terms of diseases...I mean, if we ate all of our meat raw? I shudder to think. It's also go to taste TERRIBLE!!

Raw meat actually doesn't taste that bad. ... I've had a really under cooked burger before it was not bad. Also, I think if humans ate raw meat for generations, and your mother at raw meat while you were developing, etc - we could be fine with raw meat. Cooking it is best though, also I think most animals are immune to many raw meat diseases - which I think we could eventually get (and probably used to have) if we adapted to eating raw meat over a long time.

But no, I don't think being a vegan is better or more natural or anything. Its less natural in fact.

you now what they say, "if we werent supposed to eat animals, why did god make them out of meat."
