All of the hyperbolic superlatives from the recent Apple keynote strung together into a two-minute long video. So maybe Mac people aren't cooler, just overenthusiastic thesaurus abusers.
Celebrity Buzz So there was just cause for all those Steve Jobs sickness/death rumors that were flying around the interwebs a few months ago. Turns out, the Apple CEO did need a new liver and recently got one. Could this also be a promo for a new product? Need a liver transplant? There's an app for that.
1980 was a confusing time for Apple, as you'll see in this classic magazine ad. Don't bite the forbidden fruit, Adam! Somewhere off set, Eve lies tangled in a sexy web of Steve Jobs' dreams.
Plush Jobs may be very smart, but he's also super cuddly. For only $27.99, you can have your very own Plush Jobs — who will definitely tell you all the secrets about the next iPod.
This girl really likes Steve Jobs, and wants to wish him a happy 54th birthday. Look out for the confused old man in the background.

Wired is reporting that Steve Jobs probably won't come back to Apple. It's reported that his medical issues were, “more complex than I originally thought.” I guess this means Mac is dead.
Tech Buzz The Apple CEO is stepping down from his post until June, “to take [himself] out of the limelight and focus on [his] health.” Translation: Steve is really sick, and Apple's stock is going to crash. Sad news for Apple fans (and Steve).
Webcomic xkcd reveals the real down side for Apple of Steve Jobs not appearing at MacWorld.
Those fun-loving pranksters over at 4Chan have been busy today. In addition to (allegedly) getting a crude visual reminder of 9/11 to rise to the top of Google Trends, they managed to take over the live feed for the MacRumors live-blog coverage of today's Macworld keynote address. After announcing that Steve Jobs had died, they moved on with lightning speed to an endless string of penis jokes (which may have undermined their credibility somewhat).
Noted by New York Magazine's a strangely accurate depiction of the slowly shrinking CEO can be compared to the diminishing size of Apple's iPod. What happens when the iPod goes nano?!!

Steve Jobs is not dying, as this letter explains. He has a hormone imbalance. He expects it to take him through the spring to fully recover from the weight loss it has caused.
Tech Buzz The Apple CEO is not dying! Instead, he is suffering from a hormone imbalance that is “robbing [him] of the proteins [his] body needs to be healthy.” The disease is treatable, and he'll stay on as Apple CEO. Steve decided to disclose this information to quell the rampant death rumors and succession speculation that his weight loss inspired. So in review: Steve Jobs isn't dying, he's just pregnant.

Future, Cupertino — After a long and fruitful tenure as CEO, Steve Jobs steps down in early 2009 to fanfare and industry fawning. Apple needs a new leader. It’s time to choose your own adventure. Gizmodo imagines the future of Apple and it's up to you to choose the company's path. I don't know about this 'Choose Your Own Adventure' book, but I always ended up dying.
This is either a fascinating look at the evolution of Apple over the years or definitive proof that you can put pretty much any succession of images together with a good song and it'll be watchable. The answer may depend on how much you like Apple and/or Fiona Apple. Either way, tons of people are watching it today.

I think my favorite thing about Steve Jobs' chest is the mouse pointer tat on his right peck. You may also find dressing him up is good times. That or the fact that he wears tiger-print briefs under his leopard-print ones.
“I can't afford any of your products, but…can I buy some fake white earbuds so people will think I have a MiPod?” Mapple founder Steve Mobs even makes an appearance!
Jobs addressed his health rumors briefly at the Apple laptop unveiling today. So, that’s pretty good, right?

Apple announced their October 14th media event yesterday, where it’s rumored that they’ll unveil the new round of MacBooks and MacBook Pros. Like Superman, the new MacBooks are said to be made of steel - carved from metal using lasers and water jets. Ooooh Steve Jobs, you are certainly getting freaky in your old age.
Tech Buzz Apple’s stock did a beautiful swan dive this morning after a CNN iReport incorrectly claimed that Steve Jobs had a major heart attack. Of course, this wasn’t true, and Apple swiftly moved to debunk the rumors. Mark this one down as citizen journalism’s first major flubbub.
Steve Jobs isn’t dead. He swears. At today’s Apple event, Jobs made a point about his death rumors. Fiiiine. We’ll stop talking about it.
