The resurrection of Steve Jobs

[Mike]

ONE morning, about a year ago, a doctor told Steve Jobs that a cancerous tumour in his pancreas would kill him within months, and that it was time to start saying his goodbyes. Later that night, an endoscopy revealed that the tumour could be cut out. But for one day Mr Jobs, the boss of Apple Computer, as well as Pixar, the world's most successful animation studio, stared death in the face.

For one day? I guess he never married then?

Good article though.

[Child of Cupertino]

Oh yeah. Married -- PLUS a child born out of wedlock of whom he refused to accept him parenting. But then, he names a computer after her!

Fortunately for his karma, he later established a full relationship with Lisa... er, the carbon-based Lisa, that is ;)

I didn't know he'd actually tied the knot, but I've know about his first daughter for quite a while now.

Thanks for the update.

[Child of Cupertino]

Yup. He's married to a woman named Laurene. And dude, she's very pretty:
