WSJ: Jobs had liver transplant, on schedule to return to work in June

"he helped to create"

erm. Apple is his company, he didnt help create it.

Apple head honcho or not, wish the guy a speedy recovery.

sounds about right, that was about the time a friend of mines mom was contacted to do home health care for him because she was one of Christopher Reeves nurses

Well......one thing is clear.....the rest of the world ...including Steve the Blogger can't spell ....TENNESSEE.....

According to WSJ and also according to this site ( http://www.liverfoundation.org/education/info/transplant/ ) the 5-year survival rate of liver transplant recipients is 75%. In other words there is a 25% probability that the patient may not be alive in 5 years.

This is sad news. The computer industry will never be the same without Steve Jobs. It is not just Mac and Mac OS and iPhone/iPod that came from Apple. Windows was copied from Apple, so without Apple there would not be Windows. (Microsoft fans argue that it was Xerox Parc that invented GUIs, but the fact is Microsoft didn't copy it from Xerox. Microsoft always waits till a technology is commercially successful before copying it. Without Jobs Microsoft would never have copied it.)

I hope Steve beats the odds and lives on to be at least 65 to 70 years old. No one can replace him. There are better artists than Steve, there are better technologists than Steve, and there are businessmen than Steve. But Steve is a unique combination of all these. Nobody else can be Steve. Nobody else can bring us the next MacOS X, iLife, iPod or iPhone. No, not even Tim Cook.

And to stick the knife further in Jobs, the Dev Team violates his iPhone. Sick, sick, sick. Mohammad will put a curse on the Dev Team!

Wishing a speedy recovery to Steve.

Currently, more than 80,000 people are waiting for life saving organ transplants every day. Most will not receive the organ they need in time. I encourage everyone to consider being an organ donor. A single donor can save the lives of seven other people, and improve the lives of dozens more. It costs nothing to become a donor, but it can do so much good.

This article makes no sense. Why travel to tenn when you have Stanford right there.....Wouldn't steve jobs, or his doctor have the liver flown to him rather than vice versa?

You can cut away three quarters of the liver and it will grow back.

Google "does the liver regrow" OR

I used to volunteer at the Cleveland Clinic and I've witnessed my fair share of liver transplants.

Not a pretty sight.

I wish Mr. Jobs a speedy recovery.
