Apple CEO Steve Jobs Taking Leave of Absence

Apple CEO Steve Jobs has emailed to all of his employees that he is taking a leave of absence for Medical issues. here is the exact text from the email:
Team,
At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health. I will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company.
I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for all of Apple’s day to day operations. I have great confidence that Tim and the rest of the executive management team will do a terrific job executing the exciting plans we have in place for 2011.
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.
Steve
We are not sure what is wrong with Apple's CEO now, but I am sure he will get through it. Jobs has survived one of the most fatal forms of cancers, pancreatic cancer which he announced in 2004, and recently had a liver transplant in 2009. This guy surely is a fighter, and we wish him the best. Hopefully we hear more info tomorrow when Apple announces there Q4 earnings. Be sure to share this article, and see you guys soon!
