Last week, Gizmodo rumoured that that Apple CEO Steve Jobs' health was in a very bad condition, so bad in fact that the "inevitable news" would arrive coming Spring. Then, Apple characteristically declined to comment on the rumour, meaning Gizmodo's story couldn't be verified. As it turns out, Gizmodo's story does have a hint of truth, but luckily, Jobs' health isn't even remotely in as bad a condition as they made it out to be.

Agreed, though I suspect a great deal of 'community speculation' would have added to the decision.
In the end, as long as he is in good health that is all that matters. The fact that he remains CEO of Apple during his recovery is a brave, but unncessary move.
I couldn't imagine any decent person who'd want to put his role at Apple above his health.
