Steve Jobs Had Liver Replaced

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple CEO / His Holiness Steve Jobs just underwent a successful liver transplant. While initially reported back in 2004 that Jobs took leave of Apple due to a "hormone imbalance" -- a problem that can easily be cured by a case of Activa yogurt and a couple of Luna bars -- word is his (alleged) pancreatic cancer might have spread to his liver, hence the need for something as serious as an organ transplant. Much to the delight of fans and Apple investors, Jobs will be back to work at the end of June.

What, there's not an app for that?

As long as his immunosupression goes well, liver transplantation has really good odds. In the 80 percentile success rate.
