A guy who knows a guy at Apple says he saw a guy who drove a guy to work who knows the kids of a guy who works with the guy who works next to the office of the guy who brings fresh ground coffee to the girl who puts water into the coffee-maker for the guy who brings the coffee and single, perfect bearclaw to Steve Jobs’ sub-assistant’s assistant who works next to Steve Jobs’ real assistant’s assistant who says he saw Steve Jobs floating (and this refutes Woz’s claim that Steve is really healthy) in a huge vat while attached to “cables and other stuff” who says his sister who knows the neighbors of the Jobs family who sometimes when there’s a full moon can see through the back window of the Jobs house where they say they saw Steve’s holographic representation playing Jenga by controlling a nubile Vietnamese woman named Hoa using a new iTablet/mental control rig told the Wall Street Journal that either Jobs or a robot shaped like Jobs will host the WWDC keynote on Monday.
Jobs, a survivor of pancreatic cancer, went on medical leave in January, and some investors had expressed doubt about the company’s statements that he would return this summer, the report said.
Anyone who thinks Jobs hasn’t been in on every decision made the last 6 months has taken up residence under a rock the last 6 years or so.
I think he has been in on most decisions. Although, I think his leave was a short-term test to find out who is really in for the long hall. It was an opportunity to check on the talent in the upper management. As you can see, some people left and moved on to Palm while others stayed on. The next 6 – 8 months will explain everything. I think Mr. Jobs is sick and the company is trying to hide it for good reason.
The market does not trust them to run the company without Steve Jobs. The last time Jobs was forced out and they were unsuccessful. However, there is a difference between leaving by force and leaving by choice. I think Apple has learned their lesson the hard way and the company will be strong when he finally departs.
