Steve Jobs to Step Down Temporarily as Apple's CEO for Health Reasons

http://tech.yahoo.com/news/pcworld/2...lth reasons_1

Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs announced Wednesday that he will step down from his post temporarily while he deals with health issues. Jobs says he will return to Apple in June after recuperating from issues related to a hormone imbalance.

Jobs recently disclosed that his visible weight loss was due to the hormone imbalance.

In a letter Wednesday, Jobs wrote that "during the past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought".

Tim Cook, Jobs says, will be responsible for Apple's day to day operations. Cook is currently Apple's chief operating officer and oversees Apple's Mac division as well as its support services and supply chains. (Link view Cooks' full profile)

Jobs' health has had many Apple watchers anxious and asking what the future might have in store for the company should Jobs leave. The company's share prices have fluctuated over the past year influenced by rumors of Jobs' health and by public appearances where the iconic leader of Apple has looked gaunt.

Trading in Apple's stock was halted when news was announced Jobs would be stepping down. Apple stock lost 8 percent of its value before trading was stopped as investors reacted to the news.

If things get worse, we might see the iCoffin

A fully kitted out coffin where people can run the iphone, ipod, imac and mac products from a single console which can contain a human body (dead or alive).

The smugness on the planet just dropped 8% , But seriously I wish the guy good health. Hope he has a full recovery. Pancreatic shit is some of the worst cancer to get, and I know way too many that have died, or are dying from it. My uncle is fighting it right now too.

I still don't get why the shares dropped over 8% just because hes taking sick leave, i was listening to a interview about it on bloomberg and they said that Cook has been taking care of apple for quite some time now running the day to day and im sure the 1000s of other staff wont have a problem working on current and upcoming products?!? what gives

_Richard_ · 01-15-2009, 12:28 PM

hope he gets back in the saddle soon
