If you haven't seen.

Steve Jobs is taking a leave of absence from Apple due to health reasons:

My guess is that the outlook for Mr. Jobs is not good.

It was my understanding in a most article he was simply undergoing treatment for the hormone that was eating away at his body's protein.

I think it was just a cover story for investors.

"Jobs told Apple’s board about his (initial) cancer and directors decided to say nothing, Fortune reported in March 2008. Larry Sonsini, the company’s attorney, told directors that Jobs’s right to privacy topped disclosure rules."

"The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission may examine whether Jobs or Apple purposely misled investors about his condition... If the stock drops dramatically, shareholders may sue.

I'm sure you've seen todays update that indicates that he may have the rest of his pancreas removed. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most devastating forms of cancer. although his form is apparently rare.

"Jobs hasn’t been seen in public since October."

Does not sound good.

Or maybe! He's preparing to help run the country!!!!!!! Kind of a long shot but would be pretty cool to see Mr. Jobs as the new Chief Technology Officer

LOL what a crock!

I think he'd be a horrible person for that job. That guy can't actually be serious.
