Jobs Health Update Doesn’t Make Sense

Brandon Keim at Wired on Monday posted an article relating to how Steve Jobs’ “Health Press Release” is intentionally ambiguous and doesn’t make sense.

“His email is specifically vague, and I’m sure it’s meant to be,” Lustig said. “He doesn’t want us to know what’s going on.”

What I don’t understand about this hullabaloo is why Apple and it’s board of directors allow Steve Jobs to garner the level of importance that he does.

Whenever Steve catches a cold, Apple stock prices drop. Is there no one else at Apple that can take up the mantle?  Is Steve the sole idea-man at that company and Apple is nothing without him?

I’m not tellin’, I’m askin’

Jobs being treated for hormone imbalance

The NY Times posts that Steve Jobs is being treated for a hormone imbalance, which is ultimately tied to his continued weight loss during 2008:

Fortunately, after further testing, my doctors think they have found the cause — a hormone imbalance that has been ‘robbing’ me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy. Sophisticated blood tests have confirmed this diagnosis,” he wrote.
