Apple CEO Steve Jobs on Monday asked the board of the computer giant to grant him medical leave, sending shares down more than 4 percent.
"At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health," Jobs said in a statement. "I will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company."
"I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can. In the meantime, my family and I would deeply appreciate respect for our privacy," the statement added.
The company's shares were down 4.5 percent on the news, Reuters reported.

1. launch a set of faked bad news on jobs' health, wait a couple of days for major blogs to catch up. wait some more for newspapers to catch up, they reprint the blogs and make it look smarter.
2. buy apple stocks at a very low price
3. wait for ipad 2 to come out
4. sell the stocks at a very high price
5. ???
6. profit!- I think #5 is go to vegas or brasil and do what needs to be done.capn_ron

I hope this will stay true
"Apple performed very well during Jobs' last leave of absence, as its stock price rose nearly 60% during the six months that Cook oversaw the day-to-day operations of the company"

I wonder how much the shares would go up if Jobs told everyone each time he gets laid.
"Last night was an incredible night. I got home and this incredible gorgeous chick... i think you can guess what happened next so, spare you the details. But OS eX was astounding! The most incredible sex game changing sex ever." Huge cheers
The company's shares shot up 4.5 percent on the news, Reuters reported.

Who will replace Steve?
- CyBrainX0
I think he's lost his way. I wonder if Apple will be better off without him in the long run.

His health is too much of a liability. He should just gradually leave gracefully. I don't want to worry about his health constantly.

Apple will most probably cease to be relevant as soon as he's gone.

This explains why he wasn't present in that Verizon announcement last week.

no matter what you think of steve jobs, your heart has to go out when you see a fellow human wasting away

It'll be interesting to see how many companies fair once their founders are gone.
I think these guys are smart enough, though, to have respectable replacements chosen already.
Stocks will tumble, but recover once the new leader emerges as a new character.
I am more concerned with Berkshire and Buffet than Jobs.
I'll be buying if things plummet.
- heard of microsoft?jimbojones
- But MS doesn't support my theory ;-)formed

i didn't realise he had pancreatic cancer. He's almost certainly a goner, i'm afraid. A very good friend of mine fought that disease for all she was worth and it took her down. it has a kill rate of something like 97%. Poor bloke...
- Not quite correct. Some forms of pancreatic cancer are more than treatable.BusterBoy
