Steve Jobs Taking Medical Leave of Absence Until June

Most of you know by now that yesterday Steve Jobs is leaving Apple and taking a break from Apple until the end of June. I have to say that I am disappointed because we all know that there is no Apple without Steve. However I do respect his decision because right now it's not the best time for Jobs to focus on Apple, he needs to focus on his health these days. He announced it by writing a letter to the Apple community and later on made it to the news. 

Team,

I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought.

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, and I know he and the rest of the executive management team will do a great job. As CEO, I plan to remain involved in major strategic decisions while I am out. Our board of directors fully supports this plan.

I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.

Steve

After Jobs said this, Apple's stock went very low.

To get some things right, Steve Jobs does not have cancer, he was a hormone imbalance which explains why he is so skinny. He is also not retiring from Apple, he is just taking a break to focus on his health issues because they've gone more complex that he thought. 

I'm not those type of people that like to get into other people's lives, this is probably the most I am going to talk about Steve Jobs.
