She went quickly. Two weeks from the date of the final diagnosis. She was a Literature teacher for most of her life, and he was reading Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky to her when she simply let out a few deep breaths and passed. It was a fitting end. I'll pass along your condolences. On Thu, Aug

Pancreatic cancer is a horrible disease (not to belittle other types of cancer). It is very aggressive and prognosis is rarely good. My sympathies to your partner. I hope that she passed the way my dad did, at home surrounded by those who loved her. On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 12:10 AM, Maureen wro

I am not a big fan of Jobs and the way he ran Apple. However, stepping down leads me to believe that his health is failing and...well...I think that sucks. If I remember correctly, he had/has cancer. After seeing what cancer did to my father, I would not wish that on my worst enemy. On Wed, Aug

Product managers should be able to keep on, keeping on but if you look at Apple's history, when they've done well it is because they switched directions on a dime. Ten years ago, Apple was a small, marginalized computer manufacturer. Now it is a digital lifestyle and consumer entertainment product
