Steve Jobs On Medical Leave Until June

[science]

Looks like his health is getting worse...

Team,

I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal
with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health
continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else
at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my
health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought.

In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health, and to
allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary products, I have
decided to take a medical leave of absence until the end of June.

I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple’s day to day operations, and
I know he and the rest of the executive management team will do a great job. As
CEO, I plan to remain involved in major strategic decisions while I am out. Our
board of directors fully supports this plan.

I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.

Steve

Hopefully he can pull through this and get healthy.

Get better Steve

Oh No, I hope he gets better, Get Well Steve!
Apple needs you!

Wow that is a long time, it must be serious and he must be really sick. I hope he pulls through ok.

With all the weight he probably lost from sickness, I thought Apple would have fun introducing the slimmest Apple CEO ever at CES.

Oh wait I thought he died already...
