Steve Jobs - Image 1It's been three months since Steve Jobs announced that he will be taking time off till June because of health issues. Since the father of iPod got off his feet to focus on his health, COO Tim Cook took over to see over the day-to-day operations of the company.

However, it seems that Jobs just can't keep himself from being on the job. A report from the Wall Street Journal has revealed that Jobs does remain "closely involved" in the key aspects of running the company.

Despite being on leave, Steve Jobs still keeps himself busy going over important company strategies and product plans from his home. He was particularly involved in the behind-the-scenes of the user interface of the iPhone OS unveiled last month.

Jobs was treated in 2004 for a rare form of pancreatic cancer. Many speculations have ran around on the real state of his health, but Apple spokesman Steve Dowling does reassure that "Steve continues to look forward to returning to Apple at the end of June."

Here's sending our best good health vibes to Mr. Jobs.

The father of iPod? Is that all? In case you didnt know, if it werent for this guy, YOU WOULDNT EVEN BE USING A COMPUTER. HE MADE COMPUTERS INTO WHAT THEY ARE TODAY, yet all anyone recognizes him for is those *****ing MP3 players. Why dont you *****ing give him some damn credit. Damn I hate when people only think of iPods with Apple, THEY CREATED THAT COMPUTER, DONT YOU ALL REALIZE THAT IF IT WERENT FOR APPLE YOU WOULD BE USING A COMMAND LINE! THERE WOULD BE NO MOUSE, IT WOULD ALL BE COMMAND LINE! But the scumbag CEO of that pile of crap Monopolysoft ripped him off and made Winblows, all that money he made belongs to Steve Jobs, NOT BILL *****TY GATES.

Linux came out in the 90's, Apple was founded on April 1st, 1976.

What?

How about that guy who made the UNIVAC? You know, the REALLY old computers before IC technology? Without the pioneers of the computer concept, Bill Gates would be a drunk getting speeding tickets all day.

Steve Jobs would be the drunk, not Bill Gates. Bill Gates ripped off the already finished Macintosh project, he wasnt smart enough to actually do an OS himself. He did not rip off UNIVAC. I bet the original Windows 1.0 was really Mac OS ported to IBM PC's with the only change being logos.
