Apple Speculation about Steve Jobs' health situation has been a hot topic for a while now, and Bloomberg is jumping on the bandwagon as well - but you have to wonder if there's a limit as to how far journalists should go in order to gain insight into Jobs' health. While his position as CEO of a large publicly traded company puts him on a pedestal, I do believe there are limits to the hight of this pedestal. Bloomberg grossly crossed the line in my book, and Jobs seems to agree with me. "Why don't you guys leave me alone?"

Steve Jobs is under the magnifying glass whether he wants to be or not by virtue of being the CEO of a publicly traded company. In the particular case of Apple, the CEO's condition is of even more importance than that of CEO's of most other large corporations because Steve is a one man show when it comes to setting the pace and charting the course for Apple. In the meantime, a lot of people have a lot of money invested in Apple stock, and they are definitely interested in Steve's condition for good reason. If Steve wants the scrutiny to stop, Apple should buy up all outstanding shares and take the company private.
