Toronto, Feb 19 (IANS) Reports about the deteriorating health of cancer-stricken Apple boss Steve Jobs have fuelled speculations about the future of the world’s most important technology company.
Reports say 55-year-old Jobs, who has been admitted at the Stanford Cancer Centre in Palo Alto in California since Jan 17, has just six weeks to live.
Though the reports have not impacted the Apple stock much, analysts and observers are uneasy about Apple’s future without its co-founder who has become synonymous with its unique products.
According Jeffery Young, who co-authored the book ‘iCon Steve Jobs: The Greatest Second Act the History of Business,” Jobs’ illness will have a ‘significant’ impact on Apple as the iconic company braces for a stand-off with a brand-new Microsoft.
‘They’re facing a challenge that’s akin to what happened with Windows vs. Macintosh back in the 80s and 90s, where one very well-heeled challenger offered its operating environment to many different users at many companies to build its products,” Young told Canada’s CTV network in a morning interview from San Francisco Friday.
‘The same thing is happening now in the tablet and iPhone markets, where there are many different players and many products all competing against Apple with its integrated platform,” he told the network.
Young said he won’t say that Jobs will not return to lead Apple again. But his departure will have ‘significant’ implications for the company, he added.
‘Not so much in the short term – I think Apple will continue to execute and deliver the products. I think the real risk for Apple is in the mid-term, in the next couple of years, because it’s facing a major challenge from Google and Android in both the tablet and the iPhone markets.
‘That’s going to require the kind of insight and foresight that the company will be hard pressed to deliver without Steve there.”
Apple currently sits on a pile of cash to the tune of $60 billion and its share closed $350.56 on Wall Street Monday – down 2.16 percent.

Facebook "Places"
Finally! Facebook "Places" is active in Singapore!
Some of my friends have been asking me on how to do this so I thought it's cool to add this little tutorial in here.
First, you need to make sure your Location services is active or been turned on.
To check, go to "Settings" in your iphone.
Click "General" then activate "Location Services to On".
You will have options which app you want to activate the service. I only chose few iphone apps like geo-location services app FourSquare and Gowalla because it drains alot of my iphone's battery.
You can now goto your Facebook profile and click "Places".
Enjoy your journey!:)

‘Cancer-stricken’ Apple boss Steve Jobs may have just 6 weeks to live'
London, Feb 17: A tabloid has claimed that Apple founder, Steve Jobs, is stricken with pancreatic cancer and may have just six weeks to live.
The National Enquirer has published new pictures of the man behind the iPod, iPhone and iPad suggesting that the things are worse than Apple would have the world believe.
The new photos show Jobs looking painfully frail and weak, with his jeans and dark top hanging loosely on his 6ft 2in, rail-thin body.
Jobs weight is said to have dropped from a pre-cancer 175lb to 130lb now, according to the National Enquirer.
His thinning hair is a sign of the effects of the advanced chemotherapy usually used to treat the disease.
The photos, which were taken on February 8, showed Jobs going for breakfast with his wife Laurene Powell before heading to the Stanford Cancer Centre in California.
"Judging from the photos, he is close to terminal. I would say he has six weeks," the Daily Mail quoted critical care physician Dr Samuel Jacobson as saying.
"He is emaciated and looks to have lost a lot of muscle mass, which spells a poor prognosis," Jacobson added.
