Attempting to not sound like a prick here....

Work with me here. The LA Times posted this picture of Steve Jobs today and a year ago, to show how his pretty highly publicized hormonal imbalance has affected him.

To me, all his picture shows is that 1) he is balding and 2) he shaved on Sept. 8th, 2008, but not on Sept. 16-18th 2007.



It's been rumored that he has been dealing with a rare treatable form of pancreatic "cancer," so maybe a type of chemo has to do with the hair-loss and discoloration. Either way, I hope the best for him. A world without Steve Jobs (or Bill Gates) would be like the Galactic Empire not having Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader. Just kind of empty and "what are we really doing here"-esque. Mainly I don't think the time lapse picture was the best choice for the article, it just invites needless speculation (see: this blog post).
