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?"

... yes, sure, there is this thing called privacy. But hey, Jobs is a prominent and public figure. It's wishful thinking that "they" leave him alone. It won't happen. I guess that's the price for being in the open and being a prominent citizen.
If Jobs is seriously sick, then the stockholders need to know. Because this will determine their actions. They don't need a detailed medical report, it's enough to tell them that Jobs is seriously ill. But that's exactly what Apple seems NOT tell them.
And -I can't help it - to me the company is hiding something. I might be wrong, but that's how it looks like.
