How Steve Jobs Almost Brought Down Apple

We all know the story of Apple, and how Steve Jobs brought the company back from the brink of failure in the 90s to turn it into arguably one of most exciting 2.0 company of the new millenium. But what we didn't know until today was Steve Jobs personal brush with risks and how his pancreatic cancer in 2004 almost brought him, and everything around him, down.

Jobs likes to make his own rules, whether the topic is computers, stock options, or even pancreatic cancer. The same traits that make him a great CEO drive him to put his company, and his investors, at risk.

The article is here. I recommend reading it immediately.
