Letter from Apple CEO Steve Jobs

Dear Apple Community,

For the first time in a decade, I’m getting to spend the holiday season with my family, rather than intensely preparing for a Macworld keynote.

Unfortunately, my decision to have Phil deliver the Macworld keynote set off another flurry of rumors about my health, with some even publishing stories of me on my deathbed.

I’ve decided to share something very personal with the Apple community so that we can all relax and enjoy the show tomorrow.

As many of you know, I have been losing weight throughout 2008. The reason has been a mystery to me and my doctors. A few weeks ago, I decided that getting to the root cause of this and reversing it needed to become my #1 priority.

Fortunately, after further testing, my doctors think they have found the cause—a hormone imbalance that has been “robbing” me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy. Sophisticated blood tests have confirmed this diagnosis.

The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward, and I’ve already begun treatment. But, just like I didn’t lose this much weight and body mass in a week or a month, my doctors expect it will take me until late this Spring to regain it. I will continue as Apple’s CEO during my recovery.

I have given more than my all to Apple for the past 11 years now. I will be the first one to step up and tell our Board of Directors if I can no longer continue to fulfill my duties as Apple’s CEO. I hope the Apple community will support me in my recovery and know that I will always put what is best for Apple first.

So now I’ve said more than I wanted to say, and all that I am going to say, about this.

Steve

Famously popular Belgian fashion designer Kris Van Assche gives us a look into one of his sneaker models from Spring/Summer 2009. The artistic director for Dior and former understudy of Hedi Slimane, brings a contemporary edge to the overall sneaker design with his nonchalant style and penchant for versatility. Featuring a nice cool grey leather upper, the kicks combine minimalistic detailing with a more technical aesthetic yet still remaining an instant classic. The sneakers are now available in limited quantities at premier Parisian boutique colette. Via Hypebeast.com

Clips from Lily Allen’s new album can be heard here.

Santogold’s arguably the best new artist on the scene.

Lil Wayne’s “A Milli” 

However, we were more entertained with his new application.

It’s completely worth the $0.99 cost for the “Be Like Lil’ Wayne” iPhone application. The possibilities are endless and wonderfully asinine…..

Per EpicTilt, the application’s designers:
“Lil’ Wayne equips you with a vast array of his personal bling and outfits to pimp yourself out so you can share with your friends! You can even add Lil’ Wayne himself into your pictures and share with the rest of the world by email or by showing it off in the Lil’ Wayne user gallery!”

While you’re busy getting your Wayne on here’s the new mixtape for your full belly listening pleasure

The Ting Tings shouldn’t be overlooked from this year!

A favorite of ours this year was Rihanna’s song writers, hire these people now.

If you watched reality tv this year, you’ll know that Rihanna’s song, “Take A Bow” was used in the closing or exiting of many if not all contestants.  

Brit Brit’s song “Circus” was the best on her album but will we ever see the days of when Chuck Klosterman interviewed her?

Yep, somehow this WeeP5 is actually a fully functional Wiimote. Alternatively, a great way to miss a flight.

In case you’re wondering: B button is the trigger, A button is under the foregrip, 1 and 2 are on opposite sides near the front, the D-pad and Wii remote are jutting out of the left side, and the +, -, and home buttons are on the top just above the ammo clip.

You’d think somebody with the technological savvy to mod an MP5-lookingWiimote would own a DVD player. I mean, Amélie on VHS? WTF! Loved the part where she led the blind man around.

NFL-Week 17 (the last week in the regular season) ended with 2 WOW’s.  Wow #1 goes to the Detroit Lions.. who had the worst season in NFL history going 0-16.  That is not only impressive, but I’m guessing pretty hard to do. Wow #2 goes to Tony Romo, because WOW that game actually made me feel bad for him.  I’m not a Cowboys fan, but did you guys even try to play? Romo suffered a rib injury during the game, (probably because he kept getting sacked), and collapsed in the shower after the game. Needless to say the Cowboys got killed by the Eagles 44-6, and did not make the playoffs. The Cowboys have not had a playoff win since 1996.

Chad Pennington, who was cut by the Jets to make room for the aging Brett Favre, beat the team he spent the first 8 years of his career with,  24-17. knocking the Jets out of the playoff run.  “It’s always a sweet feeling to be a champion,” the Dolphins’ quarterback said after Sunday’s game. “That’s what we are, AFC East champions. It’s a great feeling. This organization has been unbelievable. They accepted me from the get-go.  This has been an unbelievable ride.” Winning is always the best revenge. Congratulations Chad! The coaches that got their walking papers on Monday:  Eric Mangini, Jets, [Brett Favre looked great on paper in July],  Rod Marinelli’s Lions, understandable with an 0-16 season,  and Romeo Crennel, Browns, 4-12 season, after being pegged as one of the NLF’s rising teams.

Playoffs start Saturday, Jan 3rd with Falcons vs Cardinals, 4:30pm EST, Colts vs Chargers, 8pm EST, Sunday, Jan 4th, Ravens vs. Dolphins, 1pm EST and Eagles vs Vikings 4:30pm EST.   My picks for the 1st week of playoffs are Falcons, Colts, Dolphins and Eagles.

Rumor has it that Tom Brady got engaged to Gisele Bundchen on Christmas Eve on a private jet from NYC to Boston, with her parents present.  If that’s true, very nice Tom, well thought out.. It’s also been stated that his rehabilitation on his left knee is “well behind schedule”.  Could it be that all the errand running you’ve been doing for your model girlfriend instead of relaxing and staying off it could be why it’s going slower then hoped.  It seems to me these boys that run around dating Hollywood stars are really having a tough time doing their jobs. Brady’s knee recovering slower then expected,  Romo, since dating Simpon, has been awful in Dec and January, Reggie Bush, who’s dating Kim Kardashin, has been out since Oct 30th and has undergone 2 arthroscopic surgeries on his  left knee in less than three months.  Maybe they need to concentrate on getting better so they can do the jobs they get paid way to much money to do, then worrying about who  they’re getting their picture taken with for people magazine.  Oh yeah, Matt ‘King of the Hollywood night clubs’, and oh, I’m so pretty’ Leinart, he just sucks.

To quote Sir Charles “I maybe wrong, but I doubt it”

Happy New Year! DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE!
