PALO ALTO - Midday on Tuesday, online gadget blog Gizmodo.com, climbed out onto a very flimsy limb posting a sketchy rumor claiming that Steve Jobs' health is in decline. Jesus Diaz, Senior Associate Editor, alleged that Jobs' health was the real reason for Apple pulling its CEO from his annual Macworld keynote address. Diaz challenged Apple's reasons for pulling out of Macworld delivered by the company in a press release on December 16.
"According to a previously reliable source, Apple misrepresented the reasons behind Macworld and Jobs' keynote cancellation. Allegedly, the real cause is his rapidly declining health." Diaz wrote for Gizmodo
Shortly after the controversial Gizmodo rumor dropped like a steaming pile of news, wildly popular tech blogger Robert Scoble, chimed in on the rumor from Fraiche Yogurt, a Palo Alto haunt frequented by Apple CEO Steve Jobs. Scoble decided to take a random shot asking the counter person if they’d seen Jobs in for yogurt recently. Without any hesitation the yogurt guru behind the counter delivered a resounding 'yes'. That's what I call news!
“I'm in Palo Alto. Just had yogurt at the shop that Steve Jobs eats at frequently. They said he was in a couple of days ago and is in great health.” Robert Scoble posted on his Friend Feed.
A chance El Jobso sighting at Fraiche Yogurt has also been verified by Swanktastic, a blog that added a glorious Steve Jobs experience onto their own fanboy list of Silicon Valley micro-celebrity encounters.
So there it is broseph. It's now confirmed! Steve Jobs is 'in great health' according to the sinfully delicious investigative reporting of the Scobleizer. I'm confident that Robert Scoble's yogurt shop guru is even more reliable than the unnamed mystery twit Gizmodo practically disowned while attempting to justify as a reliable source.
The truth is out there. Apparently it's at Fraiche Yogurt in Palo Alto. I want to believe.
How can you have cancer and be in good health? Last I checked Cancer is one of those incurables.
