Steve Jobs liver transplant kept quiet for two months?!

Wow, why did I just hear about this now? The news broke about a week ago but nobody talked about it.

Anyway, he is reportedly recovering well and ready to get back to work soon.

1. Didn't want to influence the price of Apple stock.

2. He didn't want people asking where he got his liver. Maybe he bought it, or got it from a living donor.

3. He didn't want anyone bugging him in Intensive Care.

4. It's nobody's business but his what sort of medical procedures he gets done on himself.

True, it is nevertheless surprising that one of the most important people in the world avoided the news through a life threatening situation.

How Jobs got his liver transplant.

He played by the rules, but money helps.

Me suspects the price on all Apple products will go up even further now to pay for his operation
