„Apple“ vadovo ir vieno iš įkūrėjų S. Jobso sveikata, panašu, visgi nėra tokia gera, kaip dar mėnesio pradžioje manė jis pats. Kompanijos darbuotojams S. Jobsas išplatino laišką, informuojantį, kad iki birželio pabaigos jis trumpam atsitrauks nuo kasdienio darbo „Apple“ ir daugiau laiko skirs sau. Vadovo pareigas laikinai perims Tim Cook.

Kam tos kalbos, štai pats Steve Jobs laiškelis:

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

Žinoma, galima sukurti milijoną teorijų apie tai, kaip S. Jobsą kankinęs vėžys grįžo ir kada jis paliks šią ašarų pakalnę. To daug kas ir ėmėsi, tik nelabai aišku, kam tokių nesamonių reikia. Linkime pasveikti ir laukiame sugrįžimo su tradiciniu aukšto kaklo juodu megztuku, džinsais bei teniso bateliais.
