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?"

Shareholders not the public, although of course the public would find out but that's secondary. The reason is that as Jobs is so central to Apple his leaving can have a detrimental effect on share value, and the way rumours of his illness have affected the Apple stock price has proven this.
