Jobs On Track For June Return

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."

    These aren't the jobs you're looking for.

    Seriously,

    We need jobs to return in June, not Jobs.

    Not to mention we're going to get lazy Newspaper editors who glance at the title and write stories about "The Job Market is looking to Return in June, According to Apple!"

    Yeah, the title was misleading. I thought it was about something actually important.

    If you're referring to "we" as Apple stockholders, you've got every right to be sobbing...

    Better hope the Return of the almighty iYoda will bring the iForce(Feed) back.

    $16/month

    No. At the mean income level, the average family will get about $70/month more, but for people surviving and raising families on $1500 a month, and many do, that equates to about a 7% pay rise. Just because you're rolling your eyes at the fact that the couples making $250K a year (which includes my family, just), will be paying approximately 0.75% more tax. Oh no! Our after tax income will change from $13,400 a month to $13,000! However will we cope?!?

    I know. Us horrible people, suffering the burden of this. You'd almost think that if it wasn't for things like people buying multiple investment properties, trying to 'flip' properties after 12 months, putting $100k in, and expecting a $400k profit, and pushing the prices of housing sky high, and so forth, we'd not be in a financial crisis...

    That's a really unbalanced wager. If you win, you give away a loaf of bread you can easily afford. When parent wins, he has to give up a loaf while starving.

    I wouldn't take that wager, no way.
