I find it odd that disclosing a liver transplant and not disclosing the condition that precipitated it is the way they chose to go here. I would think that once the transplant cat is out of the bag, you might as well be open about the condition. After all none of the reasons for needing a new liver are good and people will probably assume the worst as it is.
- wozer 17y agoThere was some speculation back in January: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2009/jan/16/steve-jobs-bloomberg-transplant-claim http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2009/jan/16/steve-...

- Timothee 17y agoIt wasn't very clear... the fact that they cited an Apple spokeperson made me think there was some official disclosure, because they usually just not comment at all on something they haven't released. Whether or not it was official, I don't think we need to know the exact condition. What would that change? I can't help him, and the one who can have probably been working on it for some time now.
