After concerns last week over Steve Jobs’ health, the man himself has spoken in private to a well-known reporter stating that his health problems weren’t “life threatening”.
According to Joe Nocera of the New York Times Jobs called him Thursday afternoon and said, “This is Steve Jobs… You think I’m an arrogant [expletive] who thinks he’s above the law, and I think you’re a slime bucket who gets most of his facts wrong”.
Jobs went onto explain some details about his recent health issues to Nocera but only on the basis that it was kept off the record.
According to Nocera Jobs’ health problems were more than a “common bug” but weren’t life threatening and the Apple CEO does not have a reoccurrence of cancer.

“Jobs went onto explain some details about his recent health issues to Nocera but only on the basis that it was kept off the record.”
Way to go, a$$hole! Off the record means you can’t talk about it publicly like this! And people WONDER why he’s such an asshole?
Seriously though, what makes any of you people who read this blog think that Jobs would just up out of the blue call some reporter (who evidently can’t keep his mouth shut) to confess his health problems?
I think it’s baloney.

Let’s see a photo of Stevie holding today’s NY Times.
We’ll judge his health for ourselves.
