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.

Seriously, given Jobs' obligations to Apple as CEO what else could they do but dispell the "rumors" and downplay them, regardless of whether they were true or false?
We've already seen the consequence to Apple's stock when the a fraudulent announcement of his death was reported on a major tech's blogging site, we already know what kind of impact allegations of Jobs' health provoke.
If Jobs didn't dispute these "rumors" now he'd be sued by all kinds of Apple stockholders!!!
