According to Philip Elmer-DeWitt from Fortune, Jobs has received a special treatment - a "Whipple," consisting of cutting off the tumor from the pancreas and reattach the remaining part, while repositioning the bile duct and stomach, too. A side effect of this treatment is the tendency to lose up to 10 percent of body mass, but since nothing was ever officially disclosed on how Jobs was treated, this will remain a mistery. Anyway, I hope next year we'll see a Steve Jobs in best possible shape!
Next, we have Greenpeace vs the iPhone 3G. A new match? Oooh, yeah! The back of the device is made of plastic, and parts of the cabling is containing toxic chemicals, although only in small amounts. I love nature and I try to protect the environment as much as I can, but I think these Greenpeace activists go too far. If you want to stay clean, don't use electricity, don't use mobiles at all, don't...come on!
As a side note, I am sure the plastic back was introduced to cut production prices a little, so maybe Apple could think this over. In the end, it's their decision, and I am sure Greenpeace should see about the heavy industry, strategical bombers, and other sources of pollution that are far more dangerous than a few iPhones with toxic wires and a plastic back!
At last, a very short "issue" - 5 percent. What about it? My friends, Apple's worldwide notebook market share is almost 5 percent. This is happening in a market that has fallen down 6 percent during the first quarter! Do I have to say more?
