Liver 2.0

steve_jobs-liver-transplantSomehow we missed the newsy tidbit that Apple head Steve Jobs had a liver transplant back in April. "As you may know, I had a liver transplant," Jobs told the audience assembled for Apple's music event in early September. "So I have the liver of a mid-20s person who died in a car crash, and was generous enough to donate their organs. And I wouldn't be here without such generosity." And here this whole time we thought his pancreas was the one giving him trouble. {via Wall Street Journal}
