Hi Everyone.
Wow, my first blog post in a little while. This post it about the recent news on Steve Jobs’ heath, his medical leave from Apple until June, and MacWorld Expo.
First, let’s talk about Steve. A letter was posted on Apple’s website about two weeks ago from Steve Jobs himself stating that his health was more serious then the originaly thought and that he would be taking a medical leave as CEO of Apple until June. Here is a quote from the letter:
“…In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health, and to allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary products, I have decided to take a medical leave of absence until the end of June.
I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple’s day to day operations…”
This letter got a few rumors started up on the MacRumors forums. One of which is that Steve might not be Apple’s CEO for much longer. This might be true if Steve’s health doesn’t get better. This has worried a lot of people, me included.
It took Steve nearly 11 years to get Apple back to where it was in the late ’80’s. Once Steve was told by the board of Apple that he wouldn’t be in charge anymore, he started NeXT. After a few years, Apple bought NeXT and got Steve back and he eventually became CEO of Apple. There may be a fact or two that isn’t right in that little history statement, but that is close to how it happened. it took over 10 years to get Apple back into the lime light. If Steve has to step down as CEO of Apple because of his health… I don’t really want to think about that, but we have to. We know that Steve can’t be a part of Apple for the rest of his life.
