Apple's Culture of Secrecy

thunderclap · Jul 26, 2008, 08:04 PM

From the New York Times:

"No one wants to die," said Apple’s chief executive, Steven P. Jobs. "And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it."

It was a little over three years ago that Mr. Jobs spoke those existential words, in a commencement address at Stanford. His thoughts about death came during a portion of his speech in which he publicly discussed — for the one and only time, so far as I can tell — his brush with pancreatic cancer.

Unfortunately, since the NY Times requires registration (admittedly, free!), we do not post NY Times stories on the Front Page. However, please feel free to continue to discuss here.

Whoops, I just realized that, as they SOMETIMES do, New.com picked up the NY Times story. I am posting that to the FP and will give you credit for it. Thanks again!
