Apple – has Jobs left the building?
Rumors
The last month or so there has been rumors going around, that Steve Jobs might be pulling out of the concern due to serious illness. Apple has so fare been unvillingly to comment on the rumor. Most rumors belive that Jobs is sick with canser, making him unable to work.
No show
The fact the Jobs did not show up to the conferrence aboute Mac X-pro has not done anything to slow the speculations down. It took everyone by surprise that he did not show up, and Apple had not informed aboute this in advace.
The Apple icon
Steve Jobs is to Apple what Bill Gates is to Microsoft and Richard Brandson id to Virgin. He is an icon, which also i why no one could explain that he was missing when releasing the X-pro. I heard someone comparing the lack of appearence with a person buying tickets to a Hudinni magic show, that then was lead by a stand-in.
The world according to Apple
Apple has said that the situation around Steve Jobs is no body’s business; not the investors, not the employees, and not the customers.
