Ethiopian Review

Steve Jobs is officially back to work today, according to Apple spokespeople. “Officially” is the key word here, as the “unofficial” return of Jobs from a liver transplant came last week, when the Apple founder was quoted in a press release about the iPhone 3GS’ massive first weekend of sales.

The good news is that Jobs’ return appears to be going according to plan. When it was first revealed in January that Jobs was ill and taking a leave of absence, he said at the time in a note to Apple employees that he’d be gone “until the end of June.” True to his word, with two days left in the month, Jobs is back to work as Apple’s CEO.

Despite that, Apple is still being coy as to Jobs’ condition and how “back” he really is. According to Bloomberg, Apple has “declined to say whether Jobs is actually at the office today. He also declined to comment on Jobs’s liver transplant or whether the company will provide more information on the CEO’s health.”

In other words, while Steve Jobs is alive, well, and apparently back on the job, his long-term prognosis and that of the Apple CEO position remain just about as much of an enigma as ever before. Nonetheless, the news does point to Jobs’ recovery being right on schedule, and for that, we’re all happy.
