Wie gestern bei MacRumors zu Lesen war, scheint Steve Jobs wohl doch ernster erkrankt als zuvor spekuliert. Das Wallstreet Journal veröffentlichte einen Brief an Jobs Angestellte.
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
Vor kurzem wurde noch erklärt, er leide an einer Hormonstörung, die für seinen offensichtlichen Gewichtsverlust verantwortlich sei, man kann hoffen dass es dafür keine ernsteren Ursachen gibt. 2004 litt Jobs an einem neuroendokrinen Inselzelltumor. Auch die Apple-Aktie reagierte auf diese Nachricht.
