Steve Jobs spotted at Apple HQ

Black turtleneck, jeans

Steve Jobs was spotted yesterday at Apple headquarters.

According to Reuters, the Apple co-founder was seen leaving the company's Cupertino, California campus dressed in, yes, a black turtleneck and jeans. And some Apple employees couldn't help but discuss his long-awaited return with CNBC.

It's unclear whether the Apple co-founder has officially begun working again, but yesterday's Jobs sighting coincided with his closely-watched appearance in an Apple press release.

In January, Jobs told the world he was taking a six-month medical leave from the company, saying he needed to focus on health issues that were "more complex" than he first thought. In 2004, he had surgery to remove a pancreatic tumor, and during public appearances last year, he appeared noticeably thinner than usual.

Over the weekend, it emerged that Jobs received a liver transplant roughly two months ago - though Apple has yet to officially confirm the surgery. For many, the once and future Apple CEO is an essential driving force behind the company's cult-like success. ®

Could have been worse. If he worked for Nintendo, they'd have had to keep him open while they sent someone off to look for a tri-wing screwdriver.

Steve's liver was nearly as difficult to replace as an iPhone battery...

Mine's the one with a Nokia in the pocket.

just a thought

For a (short) article, about the health of the CEO of a major manufacturing outfit (computers, software, media players etc...) why does it find itself living in the Mobile section of the site?

Is that all that apple have been reduced to? That phone company that used to make computers?
