Obviously using a computer means you are guaranteed to get cancer, unless something else kills you first. It's a good thing nobody else uses computers ....... oh. F#ck! We're all gonna die!

No idea what Allen's situation was, but I have read that Jobs went the "let's use the power of crystals and positive thinking" route in treating his cancer. With predictable results.

I've thought about it as well, especially since I usually keep my phone in my front pocket. Radioactive genitals may be a symptom/diagnosis down the road for millions of us.

He chose to forgo surgery and/or chemotherapy for herbal supplements, acupuncture and a special diet. Unfortunately by the time he wanted to try surgery, the cancer was too widespread.
