Steve Jobs Takes Leave of Absence From Apple
An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from Network World: "A number of sites are reporting that Apple's CEO Steve Jobs is taking a leave of absence till June at least. Speculation over Jobs' possibly failing health has run rampant in the past few weeks. Prior to the recent MacWorld show, Jobs said he had a hormone deficiency that had caused him to dramatically lose weight. In a memo today Jobs told workers his health issues are more complex than he thought." Reader Bastian227 adds a link to this letter from Steve Jobs on Apple's website, which also says that Tim Cook will be responsible for daily operations, though Jobs will remain involved with major strategic decisions.

I had but a simple dream, to destroy all humans.
Woohoo ! No more chair throwing !
No wait, it's the Apple guy, so no more (crap, what did he throw again ?) I'm pretty sure it was plates. Or something flat. iPods ? MacBooks ? Statements ? Pies ?
Damn I can't place it.
Anyway it probably won't be missed. Wait. I remember now. He didn't throw it at people. He threw it at that huge screen. No not at the screen. At something flat. Journalists ? Mac buyers ? It'll come back eventually.
Anyway we really need this guy back. The chairs are like *really* piling up. No, not the chairs. The flat things. Anyway we've got lots of them around here. Get him back. He's the only one who can get the journalists to get the damn things off of us. Won't somebody think of *argh cough cough*
May contain traces of nut.
Made from the freshest electrons.
