VentureBeat: Jobs entrusts NYT columnist with truth about his health, before Apple shareholders

  • elo8 · 1 year ago
    While the decision to keep his health private is definitely Jobs' prerogative, it would also make sense of him to take advantage of this crisis of faith to address the issue of succession, which will inevitably come up again at a later date, even if he is given a clean bill of health tomorrow.

    Dr. Tantillo ('the marketing doctor') did a recent post on his branding blog (blog.marketingdoctor.tv), asserting that Jobs and Apple are two separate brands--Jobs one that is irreplaceable but that can, at this juncture, help ensure Apple's longevity--and that, with the question of Jobs' health at least being raised, this is definitely the time to do so.

    Good to read a view on Apple on VB that does not come from your resident Apple shill.

    Hey, I'm the resident Facebook shill, not the Apple one!

    Entrusts a NYT columnist with *what* truth? This basically amounts to, "Well, I lied my ass off to you last time, but this is the real truth now. Oh, but you can't put it on the record. It's just like *too* much truth or something."

    How gullible do you have to be to swallow that crap?
