Steve Jobs' Health Declining Rapidly, Reason for MacWorld Cancellation (77)
onAccording to a previously reliable source, Apple misrepresented the reasons behind Macworld and Jobs' keynote cancellation. Allegedly, the real cause is his rapidly declining health. In fact, it may be even worse than we imagined: Steves health is rapidly declining.
