... Not telling us what we all wanted to know. But what we needed to know. Apple could have broken new ground on this front, ignited a new realm of transparency. Instead, it chose a different path. And shareholders, fans, and the Apple community are paying the price." "That's too bad," Goldman writes. "I truly hope that Jobs comes back when he says he will, in June. But realistically, even though he says otherwise, I'm not banking on it." Full article - very highly recommended - here .

Real Dan Lyons "banned" from CNBC in row over Jobs health
Technology: Technology blog | guardian.co.uk —
... that Jobs was fine. Dandy. All these rumours were rubbish. And then came the news last night (UK time) that Jobs will be out until at least June. Cue Lyons and Goldman, together for perhaps last time on CNBC. Why? Because according to Silicon Alley Insider, Lyons has been banned from the channel as a result. (There's no confirmation at present from CNBC that this is the case; Lyons's blog, last updated a week ago, is silent on the matter.) Goldman himself blogs that Jobs's and Apple's sudden change of information just won't wash: ...
The perils of reporting on Steve Jobs’ health

... ever directly addressed the issue of recurrence. The closest anyone came was the e-mail Jobs sent to his staff in Aug. 2004 informing them that his operation was successful and that he was “cured.” None of Jobs’ subsequent statements have said anything about cancer, one way or the other.
Jobs’ most recent e-mail set off the usual flood of journalistic second guessing (see Techmeme here). The most painful was CNBC correspondent Jim Golman’s TechCheck column Wednesday.
Goldman had gone out on a limb three weeks earlier, citing ...
CNBC Denies Banning Fake Steve Jobs, Defends Jim Goldman
Silicon Alley Insider —
... Goldman: Both [executives] felt compelled to come to me to tell me that they had "serious misgivings" about the state of Jobs' health. One said, based on his contact with Jobs personally, that he was in "serious denial" about just how bad the circumstances had become. The other explained to me that he was "deeply concerned" about Jobs, and the sudden lack of communication, the non-return of emails, ignoring chat requests, unreturned phone calls was a strong indication to him that Jobs was in "dire" shape. ...

... and cautioned investors to tread lightly when considering speculation from a doctor not directly connected Jobs treatment. Said doctor was quoted in the Wall Street Journal. Yesterday, Goldman blogged that he stood by his reporting because he relied on a source he d known for years who assured him Jobs was fine. All this company had to do was be upfront with everyone from the beginning, he wrote. Not telling us what we all wanted to know. But what we needed to know. Apple could have broken new ground on this front, ignited a new realm of transparency. Instead, it ...
Apple Handled Jobs' Health Disclosures With Dignity And Class
InformationWeek - All Stories And Blogs —
... of time hoping for a cure. Some of that hope is rational, some of it is irrational, and some of it is downright foolish, and it's impossible to tell which is which. My gut feeling is that Apple and Jobs believed what they said each time they made a statement, even as the statements contradicted each other. And if my gut feeling is wrong, nobody's come forward with any evidence to prove otherwise. Not everyone agrees with me: For example, CNBC's Jim Goldman posted a column yesterday scolding Apple and Jobs for the way they handled the disclosures: What troubles me is what ...
Note to CNBC: Pull Jim Goldman Off Apple

... around. "There are two kinds of reporters who cover Apple," Lyons said. "The kind who realize they're getting snowed and they're getting bullied and they're getting blocked out, and realize that a lot of what they're being told is not true. And the other kind who suck up to get access and end up getting played and punked, like your Valley bureau chief has been played and punked by Apple." Lyons told Goldman to apologize to Gizmodo, and for getting it so wrong. What did Goldman do? He blamed his sources, who, he said, must not have known the real story. No matter how wrong ...
