Steve Jobs : Just six more weeks

Apple founder and CEO Steve Jobs, the man behind iPod, iPhone and iPad, has terminal pancreatic cancer and may live for just six more weeks. The 55-year-old Jobs in January announced that at his request, the board of directors granted him a medical leave of absence so that he could focus on his health.

The new photos show him looking painfully frail and weak, with his jeans and dark top hanging loosely on his six-feet-two-inches, frail body. T
he pictures were not yet available online, but Jobs's weight is said to have dropped from a pre-cancer 175 pounds to 130 pounds now.

His thinning hair was a sign of the effects of chemotherapy used to treat the disease.A per physicians : 'He is terminal. What you are seeing is extreme muscle wasting from calorie deprivation, most likely caused by cancer. He has no muscle left in his buttocks, which is the last place to go.'

Let us hope and wish him the best he can get out of the rest of his life.

  1. I never liked him much. Though he did invest in Pixar and thus he will have my eternal gratitude.
