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?"

Come on now. Steve is THE idea guy at Apple. Remember how Apple floundered around before they brought Steve back in? Steve is responsible for the iPod, the iPhone and a number of other products that put Apple back on the map and made boatloads of money for the company. Its easy to cut sheet metal and write code - everyone out there is doing it. Its not so easy to have brilliant product and marketing ideas and actually pull them off to make money from them. That's what Steve brings to the table, and without Steve I don't see a lot positive for Apple. By the way, I have never and will never buy an Apple product, and I don't hold any of their stock. And I would advise anyone considering buying to hold off. But what about those who already hold large positions? If I were in that boat, I would be trying to get in touch with his doctor ;-).
