Steve Jobs is again taking a medical leave of absence from Apple leaving Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple's day to day operations.

Jobs sent the following email to all Apple employees:

Team,

At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health. I will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company.

I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for all of Apple’s day to day operations. I have great confidence that Tim and the rest of the executive management team will do a terrific job executing the exciting plans we have in place for 2011.

I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can. In the meantime, my family and I would deeply appreciate respect for our privacy.

Steve

In mid-2004, Jobs was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his pancreas and underwent surgery to have it removed. On January 14, 2009, Jobs announced a six-month leave of absence to allow him to better focus on his health. Then, in April 2009, Jobs underwent a liver transplant after which he returned to Apple.

Die you fuckin dog. Only a piece of shit like you would wish someone ill while struggling with their health. If it wasn't for Steve Jobs, Bill Gates would have had nothing to STEAL to make windowz. Steve keeps his Philanthropy a secret but does give a good portion of his wealth, he just doesn't broadcast it like Gates does. Ignoring your trash, I wish him well and thank him for pushing the boundaries of technology and design. His contribution to the world cannot be measured!!
