I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can. Steve Jobs takes a medical leave of absence.

An Apple a day doesn't keep the doctor away. Get well, Steve.

Sad. Cancer destroys so many vibrant lives. And it never stops. Just when you think it's gone it comes back to try to destroy you again. We are dealing with the illness in my family and it's just tearing our hearts apart. I'm not a big Apple fan or anything but my heart goes out to anyone who is battling this dreadful affliction. Get well, Steve.

I hope he gets well soon. The world would be a more boring place without him.

yeah, I know this thread was first, but it'd be funny if overzealous mods deleted both.

There is an excellent post to be made about this and the Jobs' impact on the computer industry and Apple, along with notes about his previous fight with cancer, the secrecy of it, how he got his liver, what his departure might mean to Apple and its various products and how Tim Cook would be different as CEO.

That would be an excellent comment. On Metatalk.
