An Interesting Statement from Steve Jobs on MacWorld
This is an interesting note from Steve on his reasons for not attending MacWorld for the keynote. His reasons are purely selfish, and I understand every one. Seems very reasonable, and unfortunate that he has to defend his health every time he's not looking and acting like the Steve of a decade ago.
Alas, that is the cost of having told the world you have cancer. Sad, but true.
I really enjoy his parting comments to the continued cycle of rumors - addressing this not to the analysts, as they are always going to do what they do, but instead, to the Apple faithful:
I have given more than my all to Apple for the past 11 years now. I will be the first one to step up and tell our Board of Directors if I can no longer continue to fulfill my duties as Apple’s CEO. I hope the Apple community will support me in my recovery and know that I will always put what is best for Apple first.
Go ahead, Steve, have the Holidays off. You deserve it.
