Apple CEO Steve Jobs today sent the following email to all Apple  
employees:

Team,

I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very  
personal with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over  
my personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and  
my family, but everyone else at Apple as well. In addition, during the  
past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more  
complex than I originally thought.

In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health,  
and to allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary  
products, I have decided to take a medical leave of absence until the  
end of June.

I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple’s day to day  
operations, and I know he and the rest of the executive management  
team will do a great job. As CEO, I plan to remain involved in major  
strategic decisions while I am out. Our board of directors fully  
supports this plan.

I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.

Steve
