Pro-tip for the day:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Jobs-ques ... 50574.html

When you find out you have a slow growing, pancreatic cancer that can be operated on to save your life a vegan diet is NOT the answer.

The book delves into Jobs' decision to delay surgery for nine months after learning in October 2003 that he had a neuroendocrine tumor -- a relatively rare type of pancreatic cancer that normally grows more slowly and is therefore more treatable.

Instead, he tried a vegan diet, acupuncture, herbal remedies and other treatments he found online, and even consulted a psychic. He also was influenced by a doctor who ran a clinic that advised juice fasts, bowel cleansings and other unproven approaches, the book says, before finally having surgery in July 2004.

Apparently, having the court case in Apple's backyard allowed the jury to be stocked with....less than competent jurors:

Even if Google only won a level of a court for a month, I would take far too much pleasure in hearing the wailing of the Mac-aholics as their products were banned for sale in the US:
