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."

    Jobs' 54th passed on Tuesday

    "Passed on", Gracie? Could you have chosen a worse phrase? Or where you trying to glom Google hits from the query: [jobs "passed on"]

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

    Seriously,

    We need jobs to return in June, not Jobs.

    Yeah, so let's all start taxing economic activity!!!!

    Yeah, that'll work SO WELL. :-P

    Sooo, where are those "tax cuts for 95% of Americans", anyway?

    Meh.

    I know my viewpoint is impopular. But I'm figuring the jobs that are lost are the kind of jobs that aren't needed anyway. Too long businesses could afford all kinds of superfluous jobs that didn't contribute to the bottom line.

    If you are a "telephone sanitizer" (RIP Douglas Adams) maybe you should have seen it coming.

    That said, I'm laid off as well, as I too had a non-essential job. It sucks (a lot) but somehow I can understand it as well. I'm now trying to get a job in an essential part of the economy (health care).

    Cringely's new block has post claiming Steve has dropped off the internet.

    Read what you want into that or take it with a grain of salt.
