I think rumours of Steve Jobs' ill health might be a little premature:
"Steve Jobs has announced that his weight loss is due to a hormone imbalance, rather than the resurgence of pancreatic cancer, and has insisted that he has no plans to step down as Apple chief executive." (ITnews 06/01/2009)

I think things are worse than he originally thought they'd be...
Apple has issued a statement saying that Steve Jobs is taking a leave of absence due to health reasons. Steve Jobs sent out a letter to Apple employees today saying that his previously-explained health problems are "more complex" than he at first thought...

Let's hope he's able to regain his health.

oh cripes... I guess I'm more out of date than I thought :( I suppose I'll have to start reading Engadget as well now.

So yeah, I hope he's OK.

lol - it does sometimes seem to take a while for certain news to filter down under. The Australian IT news web-column (the one linked in my earlier post) still has nothing about this new development. *sigh*
