Ron Schenone writes an article arguing why everybody cares on Steve Job liver transplant (full article at http://www.lockergnome.com/blade/2009/06/24/why-do-we-care-about-steve-jobs-health/).

Let me clarify one thing: on a personal and human side I’m really happy that Steve’s illness has beeen resolved.

I also think that some more privacy should be granted to Steve and everyone that has a public role: being a public person doesn’t mean you have to publicly disclose your life.

But I think that all this media (and financial analyst) attention is an alert on Apple health.

Steve has been, and still is, a focal point for Apple. But a company (that is not a familiar incorporation) deals with a problem if  its stocks and its destiny are so tightly bundled to one executive health, because it means that no adequate replacements have been identified.
