Steve Jobs Lives!
In the days following Steve Jobs' keynote at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco this week, a number of online publications expressed concern that Steve Jobs was sick. This isn't simply wild speculation brought on by lack of a world-shaking product announcement: Two years ago, Jobs underwent a successful operation to treat a rare form of pancreatic cancer. And having attended the keynote, it did seem odd to me that a showman as accomplished as Jobs would delegate so much of the presentation time to capable but less compelling Apple speakers. So I e-mailed Katie Cotton, Apple's VP of worldwide corporate communications, to inquire about Jobs' health. Her response: "Steve's health is robust and we have no idea where these rumors are coming from." (I'm just guessing here, but perhaps the Zune marketing group?)In the days following Steve Jobs' keynote at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco this week, a number of online publications expressed concern that Steve Jobs was sick.
