Gizmodo reports
(based on a previously reliable anonymous source) that Steve Jobs' health is rapidly deteriorating, which is the real reason he won't be appearing at MacWorld 2009. The rumors over Jobs' health have been swirling since his gaunt appearance earlier this year. Apple said he had a bug but was taking antibiotics. Jobs himself revealed
the exact nature of his health issues to New York Times reporter Joe Nocera back in July, but the conversation was off the record. Nocera said that Jobs' cancer had not returned, and that his health issues are not life threatening, but said he could not reveal the details of the off the record conversation.
Many have speculated that Jobs' weight loss was a result of his pancreatic cancer surgery which caused him digestive problems. In any event, Apple's not talking, Jobs isn't talking and no one knows for sure. We wish Steve excellent health and hope the more dire rumors are not true.
