Steve Jobs Health Update
On the same day the iPhone 3G S debuted in Apple and AT&T stores across the country, the The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple's CEO Steve Jobs received a liver transplant two months ago in a Tennessee hospital. They also noted that he is recovering well and plans to be back at work later this month, as planned, on a part-time basis.
Now keep in mind that the WSJ isn't revealing its sources for this news, so nothing has been officially confirmed.
Steve Jobs Is Currently Working From Home
In January we learned that Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs, would be taking a leave of absence for five months to focus on his health. Although Apple has continued to release new products with Apple's chief operating officer Timothy Cook at the helm, I still can't help but wonder how Steve is doing and what he's been up to.
With only two months left in Steve's medical leave, Apple insiders have revealed that although Tim Cook takes care of day to day duties at Apple's headquarters, Steve is still very much a part of company strategies and products from home.
Steve Jobs Takes a Leave of Absence Due to Health Issues
Steve Jobs, who announced last Monday that he would not be delivering the keynote at Macworld, has just announced that he will be taking a medical leave of absence from Apple for a period of five months to focus on his health.
Jobs revealed in an email to employees today that his health issues are more complex than he originally thought (he previously said he was suffering from a hormonal imbalance). In the meantime, Apple's chief operating officer, Tim Cook, will take over Jobs' day-to-day duties while he is on leave, although Jobs still plans to maintain his CEO role by being a part of major strategic decisions.
