Steve Jobs gets a liver transplant

Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs, on medical leave since January, had a liver transplant about two months ago, a person familiar with the matter said.
Jobs, 54, was considering the procedure as a result of complications following his 2004 surgery to remove an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, Bloomberg News reported in January, citing people who were monitoring his illness. Apple reiterated today that Jobs plans to return from leave at the end of June.
Apple’s board also sought legal advice on how the company should deal with disclosures about Jobs’s health, according to people familiar with the matter. The board’s handling of the matter may be acceptable, especially since the company has continued to function well in his absence, said John Dienhart, who holds the Frank Shrontz Chair for Professional Ethics at Seattle University.
“If people were worried about Apple’s team and they weren’t meeting expectations or the products weren’t as good as they were promoted to be, then Jobs’s health becomes more important from an investor point of view even while he’s on medical leave,” Dienhart said. “But given he was on medical leave and they’re rolling along, there’s a huge expectation in this country of medical privacy.”
Apple’s other directors, including former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, Google Inc. CEO Eric Schmidt, J. Crew Group Inc. CEO Millard “Mickey” Drexler, Avon Products Inc. CEO Andrea Jung and former International Business Machines Corp. finance chief Jerome York, either couldn’t be reached or didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Share of Cupertino, California-based Apple rose $3.60 to $139.48 yesterday in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. The shares have gained 63 percent this year.

talking about the internet,,, and blog content. “The Federal Reserve refuses to disclose where trillions of dollars in bailout money went and yet the FTC is more concerned about snooping into the financial affairs of bloggers who make a few bucks off affiliate relationships, according to new guidelines set to be introduced later this year that would give the government a foot in the door to regulate and shut down blogs for making “false claims”.
