    Well, sadly, I don't believe it is a rumor. Gizmodo is about the least reputable source for rumor mongering, but nobody should be surprised if it turns out Jobs is suffering from pancreatic cancer once again. It's a tough disease to beat.

    I hope that if Jobs is indeed ill again that he makes a full recovery, although it's hard to say what's happening until the man himself tells us otherwise.

    My personal predictions are similar, I do feel that Steve Jobs' absence from Macworld has something to do with his health. This is a huge concern, given how much control and insight Jobs has to Apple. I do wish him the best as well.

    Cancer is a thing that no one should have to go through. Ever. I do hope his health is not declining rapidly as the rumor puts it.

    Or this rumor can just be something to drop prices,i.e. a tool for someone to earn money!

    Only if the rumor is credible I think. In this case it was.

    . If I bought APPL at that time and sold it an hour later, I would have made 1.20%. Then I buy a MacBook like the rest of the people in my school.
