You insists on knowing everything about the company but does not believe anything the company provide. It is understandable that they are protective of their product roadmap, and completely justifiable on personal matters. You even speculate as to how the company runs it's internal business. Does it matter to you how MSFT runs its internal policies? You created the madness and you want aapl to address it. Well it can't. There is nothing that appl can say to satisfy everyone. I am an investor but not what you call a fanboi. My kids do own ipods so do all their friends. This is why I invested in the stock. As an investor, this blog digusts me.

Apple only made that statement weeks and weeks after the self-destruct timer was ticking. Again, Glenn, read the article carefully and understand the problem I'm noting. Maybe then you’ll understand the kid in the backseat and his excitement to reach his destination a little better, too. Jocca, 1985 is when Apple began is market-share loss and when Jobs was booted in ‘86, things didn’t get any rosier. Apple’s board begged him to come back ten years later. Devon, I never stated Jobs’ health was the reason for his absence from Macworld. I think his ego is the reason. ‘Why bother with that lame show anymore?’ is most likely his thinking. Take a look at Jobs’ bodyguard shoving of iLounge’s reporter last year for proof of what Jobs thinks about fan-boys. I was simply pointing out *why* some may think health is an issue.

Your are like the annoying child in the back seat who keeps asking "Are we there yet?". Apples first official response to the SJ health issue was completely satisfactory. They said, "Steve is fine and if he were ever to be unable to fulfill his duties as CEO, we will let you know." It's like you all never heard the second part of the statement. World of fools.

When Jobs was out being treated for his pancreatic cancer, the company functioned without a hiccup. When he was thrown out in 1985 and took some of Apple best engineers with him, Apple continued to operate without a hiccup for many years later until Microsoft caught up with Apple's guy interface. By now, Apple has learned the big lesson on how to keep itself ahead of the curve: innovate and always make sure that the products stays elegant with the ease of use that is expected of an Apple product.

Apple has learned from its mistakes, and no ex-soft drink salesmen are likely to ever be made CEOs there again. I believe Steve will have picked a group of capable people to carry on with Apple for quite a while after he leaves. And remember, this obsessive desire by certain members of the media to make a big thing out of Apple's long standing plans to bow out of Macworld, suspecting Jobs' health is the REAL reason is only based on rumors.
