All this shit, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, FriendFeed, DoucheBlog, all of it, is just people talking to each other, in a fairly direct way. It’s analgous to a telephone. You don’t really think much about the phone system, it’s only there to allow you to talk to someone far away. Same thing for online shit. [...]

From the hospital’s website:
James D. Eason, M.D., program director at Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute and chief of transplantation confirmed today, with the patient’s permission, that Steve Jobs received a liver transplant at Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute in partnership with the University of Tennessee in Memphis.

My new 24-inch iMac (a replacement from Apple for my dead 20-inch model) arrived today. Here, the new keyboard sits next to my Apple Extended II keyboard, which I will continue to use daily. The iPhone 3G and Apple remote are present for reference.

@ismh great commentary…however, people would have little to obsess about if Apple would directly address the issue.
Let’s say Apple did tip the WSJ. In a way, that means Apple could control the [...]

As everyone who has an Internet connection has read, Steve Jobs more than likely had a liver transplant about two months ago at a hospital more than likely here in Memphis, Tenn. The original story by the Wall Street Journal that set all this off was sparse on details and did not name any sources.

Apple’s PR machine:
Apple today announced that it has sold over one million iPhone 3GS models through Sunday, June 21, the third day after its launch. In addition, six million customers have downloaded the new iPhone 3.0 software in the first five days since its release.
“Customers are voting and the iPhone is winning,” said Steve Jobs, [...]

From “The Intermittent Kevin” who recovered his stolen iPhone using MobileMe’s “Find My iPhone” feature:
“Have you got it?” I asked as I marched up to the guy, acting far more intimidating than I felt. Our iPhone-pilfering friend apparently works at the sketchy bar, and as he fished around in his bag, he gave a questionable [...]
