Most of you who have been keeping up with tech-related news has heard rumors that Steve Jobs health has been steadily and rapidly declining. I ran across a ZDNet article, and it appears that today, he (finally) responded to those rumors. Apple’s board of directors also released a statement regarding the rumors.
Basically, it outlines that Steve Jobs’ weight loss is a result of a hormone imbalance, which is being treated. He will continue to serve as CEO of Apple, and any changes to that in the future will be properly communicated.
It’s good that it isn’t nearly as serious as cancer, and Apple’s stock prices reflect that. In my opinion, however, Apple and Steve Jobs should have been a little more forthcoming with this information when the rumors began circulating.
