Jobs On Track For June Return

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-he-can dept.

nandemoari writes "On Tuesday, Apple shareholders gathered at Apple's Cupertino corporate campus continued their pursuit of details regarding Apple chief Steve Jobs' health. They didn't get a whole heck of a lot of information out of Apple's executives, but they did receive some encouraging news on Jobs' status. Timothy Cook, Apple's chief operating officer, assured shareholders that Jobs still planned to return to the company in June. Jobs obviously wasn't present at the meeting, which might have made it rather uncomfortable when several stockholders stood to sing 'Happy Birthday.' Jobs' 54th passed on Tuesday."

    They sang Happy Birthday to Steve! My life is now complete that I got to hear this great news.

    But what happens when they get sued because they don't own the rights to that song....

      My dad died from pancreatic cancer earlier this year, and even if Jobs has the 'less bad' version, the facts are that the pancreas is an energy producing organ and it takes a while to get your diet right so that you have energy.

      Secondly, it's tied to the digestive system and, while sparing you the details, 'uncontrolled digestive events' are a fact of life. I can entirely understand if Jobs really doesn't want to discuss sudden sprints to the lavatory in the press particularly since the output is uhh, evil. Remember, the digestive enzymes are not normal at this stage of the game and the scent sticks to the walls for weeks.

      Let him keep his dignity and privacy.
