He's only out for 5 months, chill out before you go all crazy
It has just been revealed that Apple CEO Steve Jobs will be taking a five-month leave of absence from his duties at Apple for health reasons.
The story is still developing, but Tim Cook, the company's chief operating officer, will be handling day-to-day operations during Steve's absence

"Where is this news? Sick leave from apple? is that possible when he is apple? "
that's a quote from a previous post on the same subject.
why is it that people seem to beleieve that Steve Jobs sits in a little room by himself coming up with iPhone and iPod and G2 quad cores? it's like you've forgotten that Apple is a company comprised of hundreds of people and that it runs like every other company in the world.
and what other CEO's, Presidents, etc of other big companies actually COME UP with the ideas or products the company sells?
Apple is on auto pilot, more now than ever. as long as everyone keeps spending all their money on Mac shit the company will be fine.

steve jobs is dead. Pixar has been superimposing a CG character in his place for a while now, but with the downturn in The Economy, those artists are out of work, so they are phasing out Steve. It's all pretty simple.

For Apple, the most pressing issue of the 1990s was not related to technology, but concerned capable and consistent management. The company endured tortuous failures throughout much of the decade, as one chief executive officer after another faltered miserably. Scully was forced out of his leadership position by Apple's board of directors in 1993. His replacement, Michael Spindler, broke tradition by licensing Apple technology to outside firms, paving the way for ill-fated Apple clones that ultimately eroded Apple's profits. Spindler also oversaw the introduction of the Power Macintosh line in 1994, an episode in Apple's history that typified the perception that the company had the right products but not the right people to deliver the products to the market. Power Macintosh computers were highly sought after, but after overestimating demand for the earlier release of its PowerBook laptops, the company grossly underestimated demand for the Power Macintosh line. By 1995, Apple had $1 billion worth of unfilled orders, and investors took note of the embarrassing miscue. In a two-day period, Apple's stock value plunged 15 percent.

All I mean is management is important, since Jobs came back, Apple has been an incredible powerhouse.

I love Apple products, I just don't like the superiority complex.
