Apple CEO Steve Jobs may be on a medical leave of absence, but that hasn’t stopped people from seeing at the company’s Cupertino headquarters, or from noticing that he appears healthy.
Mr. Jobs was spotted on the Apple campus on January 31, according to author Matthew Cross, and he noted that the company’s leader “a healthy spring in his step,” and had a smile on his face.

Mr. Cross saw Mr. Jobs walking through Apple’s main lobby talking on his phone. Before he could get close enough to talk, Mr. Jobs was out the door where he hopped into a waiting car.
The fact that Mr. Jobs was seen at the headquarters for the company he runs isn’t overly surprising. Following the announcement that he was taking medical leave, however, there has been speculation that his health is declining — a notion that Mr. Cross’s observations seen to contradict.
Mr. Jobs has taken time off from running Apple before, most notably to deal with pancreatic cancer, and then later for a liver transplant most likely related to his cancer bout.
Company COO Tim Cook is handling the company’s day-to-day operations while Mr. Jobs is out.

Cheer partner with good news.
All that cash? Apple is investing in the biotech necessary to have SJ be the first “download” cyborg.
Strangely, AAPL lost $10B this afternoon, apparently on a Jobs health rumor.
Live Long And Prosper
Mr Jobs
Hey Bosco, interestingly enough, the phone Steve was talking on was an android phone!! Oh no!!
strange article, sounds like some PR guy at Apple trying to make happy news.
And just maybe it’s already here. Maybe even for the last decade or so :-0
No way. If that were the case, Walt Disney’s frozen head would have been defrosted by now and attached to a cyborg body!!
Now that’s just absurd. It remains very far in coming millennia. Haven’t you seen Futurama? :D
