After back and forth rumors about the health of Apple's revered Steve Jobs way back in last year and the beginning of 2009, it turned out that he really did have some health problems: complications with his liver requiring a transplant. It was supposed that he'd return to Apple by the end of June, and now he's finally made his first public appearance since he first took his medical leave of absence earlier this year.

I think you're misinterpreting the applause. There seems to be a general cultural difference between the US and other democratic societies where anyone in the US who has overcome adversity, beaten the odds, or conquered disease is adulated. The praise isn't because of who Jobs is as the CEO of Apple but who Jobs is as a survivor. You just don't seem to get the same kind of intense emotions from other western cultures.
