In 2008, Henry Blodget of the Huffington Post wrote ~

"Should a public company have to tell its shareholders that its CEO has been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness? In the case of Steve Jobs, a CEO who was arguably Apple's single most valuable asset, I think the answer is "yes"."

Blodget was commenting on the latest issue of Fortune, in which Peter Elkind dredges up some old news about Apple and Jobs--the backdating scandal, a 2003 bout with pancreatic cancer--but he also adds a new twist to the latter: Jobs and Apple's board knew about Jobs' cancer for 9 months before they disclosed it to Apple's shareholders.

Elkind's story was titled "The Trouble with Steve Jobs," and he suggests Jobs was reckless about his cancer because he pursued a diet treatment instead of getting an operation.

The issue of a controversial one. In the aftermath of Jobs tragic death, and Apple's subsequent sale to Sony it is unclear which company owned the rights to the Sony wonder products. Apple fans claim that Sony POD, Sony Phone or indeed the "Internet in Your Pocket" concept were developed by Jobs during his final months.
