I'm in Palo Alto. Just had yogurt at shop that Steve Jobs eats at frequently. They said he was in a couple of days ago and is in great health.

Now I'm hanging out in the Apple store where Jobs shows up frequently. Will let you know if I learn anything.

Scoble tracking Steve Jobs' eating route. Oh dear.

Scoop McScoble.
- Thomas Hawk
What flavor does Steve like? [edit] Seriously, I think it would be interesting. Sort of like asking what your favorite animal is, I think it might reveal something.
- AJ Kohn
You know you are going to make AAPL stock rocket in the morning if you keep this up?
- Dominic Jones
Yeah, I saw him last month eating spicy Indian food and swiping through his black iPhone. He looked perfectly fine.
- Mason Lee
Are you stalking him or is this a 'walk a mile in his shoes' sort of thing?
- Anika
Scoble- our man in Palo Alto. Thanks.
- Roberto Bonini
AJ: they wouldn't tell me. :-) But they say that they deliver a whole bunch to Apple's executives every week.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Have missed your FF comments today!
- Michael Krigsman
You do realize that if you keep this up and you're going to be nabbed as a SJ stalked.

The store is http://www.fraicheyogurt.com/ by the way.
- Robert Scoble
it's the paparazzi on Steve Jobs!
- Elijah Nicolas
Of course they gave me a sales pitch for how their yogurt is keeping him healthy. :-)
- Robert Scoble
What is it with the reemergence of yogurt shops these days anyway? It's like it's 1983 all over again. Are they replacing coffee shops?
- Ciaoenrico
@Scoble @AJ I bet it's Schnozberry (sorry for the obscure reference)
- Andrew Dobrow
http://swanktastic.org/... I guess other people have met Jobs there.
- Robert Scoble
I'm watching the after-hours trading in AAPL to see if this great breaking news has any impact. Still four minutes left.... Will update :-)
- Dominic Jones
Ciaonenrico: I had a latte there too. The yogurt is the best in Northern California.
- Robert Scoble
They need some help with their blog: http://www.fraicheyogurt.com/blog...

http://scobleizer.com/2008... is my report and photos of one of the co-owners. It always has a line of people waiting to get in.

Why is it that Apple isn't confirming or denying anything do you think, Robert?
- Mona Nomura
Mona: Apple won't confirm or deny anything. Try asking them whether Steve Jobs is CEO. I bet they wouldn't confirm or deny that.
- Robert Scoble
@Mona N. Because they believe it's no one's business if Steve sneezes.
- Dominic Jones
The real CEO is clearly Dick Cheney
- Andrew Dobrow
So, he's still alive? ;) BTW, what is THE interview you wish to make in 2009?
- Konstantin
But clearly, he is not well... isn't it about time they say SOMETHING? :\
- Mona Nomura
Then what? Sell your stock? If Apple's value is so wrapped around one person isn't that a clear risk already?
- Hayes Haugen
Konstantin: 1. Barack Obama. 2. Steve Jobs. 3. Steve Ballmer. 4. Mark Zuckerberg. 5. Bret Taylor. 6. Evan Williams. 7. Jonathan Ives. 8. Vic Gundotra. 9. Barack's CTO. 10. A bunch of geeks who I don't know but who are changing the world.
- Robert Scoble
It has nothing to do with stock, it's handling smooth transitions IF there is something wrong so we (consumers) have confidence in them (Apple).
- Mona Nomura
Mona: we're all dying. I know a lot of people who have died that were very healthy. Or seemed to be. Marc Orchant anyone? I don't know that Steve isn't well. Having cancer can cause you to live healthy and lose weight. But, I already assume the dude will die. So will I. Until he's ready to talk I have to assume he's fine. Obviously he's not bedridden if he's coming into yogurt stores.
- Robert Scoble
Red Mango or Fraiche? I prefer Red Mango on University.
- Randy Ksar
from twhirl
Randy: I'm partial to Fraiche. Maybe we need a taste-off? :-)
- Robert Scoble
We're all speculating and won't know for sure until Steve Jobs either steps down or retires. Either which way, this is really bad on Apple's part because they are (to me) encouraging rumors and speculation, irresponsible journalism, and publishing. The question is: Are we ok with that?
- Mona Nomura
Mona: Apple is too secretive about everything. But that's who they are and they probably know that this publicity is good for them. It keeps us all wondering what the real story is. Guarantees everyone will attend Jobs' next press conference.
- Robert Scoble
If people are getting worried when a CEO is getting thin, shouldn't we be more worried over weight CEOs? They are more all of a heart attack time-bomb than SJ is a health risk. Why don't we ask all those fat CEOs to disclose *their* health record?
- Clarence Chiang
Clarence: yes. +1000.
- Robert Scoble
I'm not worried about him. Is no one familiar with the old adage, "An Apple a day keeps the Doctor away."
- Kevin Murray
Clarence: It's not just any CEO. It is Steve Jobs. Do you think his predecessor will generate this much news? Robert: I understand that, but that is so not ok, in my book.
- Mona Nomura
Mona: Apple doesn't listen to me on PR issues either. Heheh.
- Robert Scoble
hahhahahhahhahha
- Mona Nomura
There's a Red Mango here, and I've had Fraiche. I prefer Fraiche.
- Jesse Stay
I find myself wondering if SJ has an Alcor policy.
- Michael R. Bernstein
Who is Steve Jobs?
- Steve Rubel
Do they even make apple yogurt? It probably tastes better if you eat it with a mock turtle neck on.
- Keith Beucler
Great reporting Robert. The real losers here are the gossip sites like Gizmodo who perpetuate rumors with "anonymous sources" who are "100 %" correct.
- James
So I was there today with Robert when he got the scoop. Spiderman's frenemy James Defranco was spotted there. http://www.fraicheyogurt.com/
- Ross Mayfield
Why don't u interview him? I can see it now... "so who are you?"
- mal
That place is buzzing - why hasn't anyone else reported seeing him there?
- Jesse Stay
Hope he's well. In any case, despite all the coverage, what I haven't heard about is whether Apple's doing anything at CES? Do they usually exhibit? CES isn't something I've paid any attention to in the past but if Apple's becoming (as some are saying) the new Sony, wouldn't CES be important?
- Gordon Vaughan
Apple never goes to CES. Apple has its own show from now on: it's called its network of stores and Engadget. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Schnozberry! Who's ever heard of a schnozberry?
- Kerri
Now that Jobs has made his January 5 announcement, we can all reflect. In my view, even if they didn't know anything, Apple & Jobs should have made some sort of statement in December, when the Macworld announcement was made. It wouldn't have been perfect, especially since they may not have known about the hormonal imbalance at the time, but better to say something than nothing. If nothing else, it would have kept Robert out of the yogurt shop. :)

Just arrived in London at Hilton Metropole on Edgeware. Looking to get into trouble tonight. :-) Call +1-425-205-1921 if you want to meet.

Welcome to London, look forward to hopefully meeting on Sunday. Still waiting on the info.
- Simon Wicks
Seconding the welcome. That's a horrible hotel, btw, unless it's been done up since last time I was there - the Hilton in Canary Wharf is much better.
- James
Simon: I'll send it out tomorrow. We're meeting at 7 in the hotel lobby here, though, both tonight and Sunday night.
- Robert Scoble
Welcome, to the UK
- Yatin Vadhia
Cant make it tonite, just got home from work, its acctually quite close to my office though, but i didnt know! Nevermind, I should be there Sunday. Thanks very much.
- Simon Wicks
still think you should see more of the UK than just London :)
- alphaxion
Yeah, you should totally go to Stoke-on-Trent!
- Jules
You are very near an outstanding mom-and-pop Italian restaurant. Can't recall the name, but it's within about two blocks, on the west side of the Road.
