Steve Jobs Taking a Leave of Absence

It looks like everyone's favorite entrepreneur is more sick than anyone anticipated :( Here's hoping Jobs has a speedy recovery! Go download some iTunes or something and show your support. Apple has issued a statement saying that Steve Jobs is taking a leave of absence due to health reasons. Steve Jobs sent out a letter to today saying that his previously-explained health problems are "more complex" than he at first thought, and that he plans to return in June. In the meantime Steve will be around for major strategic decisions, and Tim Cook (Apple's Chief Operating Officer) will take over the day-to-day in his absence. AAPL is down around 8% in after hours trading.

The full letter is below: 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

This honestly comes as quite a surprise, especially given that Jobs just recently issued that note which seemed to be aimed at quelling fears of this exact situation bubbling up. In that letter -- sent just last week -- Jobs stated that a hormone imbalance was to cause for a recent noticeable weight loss, but that the ailment was being treated in a "relatively simple and straightforward" manner. This clearly calls that info out, and raises a number of questions about whether or not Apple and Jobs knew there was something more serious happening. Of course, this story puts the latest exclamation mark in a sentence strewn with flare-ups of news over Jobs' health which began with his gaunt appearance at last year's WWDC.

Though Jobs battled pancreatic cancer in 2004, as far as we know he has been free of the since a complicated known as the "whipple procedure," and this latest statement makes no connection otherwise.One note of interest is that this isn't the first time Tim Cook has taken the reins at Apple. He held the spot in 2004 while Jobs was treated for and recovered from the aforementioned cancer. (From Engadget.com)

BART Officer Arrested

This is a step in the right direction...let's hope justice is finally served.


Former Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) officer Johannes Mehserle, who shot J. Grant III, appeared in the East Fork Justice Court on Wednesday in Minden, Nevada.

Mehserle waived extradition to California and was being held without bail on a warrant charging homicide. According to reports, Mehserle was in Nevada because he feared for his safety after death threats were made against him.

Grant’s family has filed a $25 million legal claim against BART, signaling an intention to sue for damages. The family’s attorney, John Burris, said that he was pleased to hear of Mehserle’s arrest:

“If it’s true, the family is delighted, and it will really help with the healing process,” Burris said. “This is also very important for the community. This had to occur; it was almost a no-brainer. I think the district attorney ought to be commended for moving (the case expeditiously.” (AP/Concreteloop.com)

Jim Carrey exhausted from fake laughing at Jenny McCarthy

Jim_carrey Jim Carrey is completely exhausted from fake laughing every time lady friend Jenny McCarthy makes a joke, say close friends. Carrey has been dating McCarthy for three years and the forced laughter is finally taking a toll on Carrey.

"It's become too painful for him to continue with his artificial laughter as not to hurt Jenny's feelings," says a friend. "His facial expressions are not even that convincing anymore. He's really struggling to even smile when he's around her. He may have suffered some nerve damage from all the fake laughter."

Friends say the fake laughter has encouraged McCarthy to continue making "jokes" 'round-the-clock and that has devastated Carey's facial nerves.

"It's one thing if he was genuinely laughing, but the poor thing has to be faking it 24 hours a day," said the friend. "We're now planning an intervention on Jenny to confront the fact that she isn't funny."

Six previous interventions have failed.

Breaking News: Conan O’Brien to take over Jay Leno’s 10 pm show in 2010

610x Just weeks after Jay Leno announced that it would be staying at NBC and starting a nightly 10 pm show, a visibly annoyed Leno took part in another news conference late this afternoon with NBC Entertainment chiefs Ben Silverman and Marc Graboff.

"Jay has agreed that in 2010, Conan O'Brien will be taking over 'The Jay Leno Show' which premieres this fall on NBC," said Silverman. "Jay has graciously agreed to turn over the show to Conan in 2010. We Jay Leno. He's an important part of the NBC family."

"I write jokes, that's what I do.  You know, I don't have an agent or a manager. I just write jokes," said Leno.

Leno was able to convince the NBC bosses that the show keep its original name. When O'Brien takes over in 2010, it will be called "The Jay Leno Show with Conan O'Brien."

***UPDATE***

Sources now say NBC executives fear they have made a serious mistake by giving O'Brien "The Jay Leno Show" and are trying to convince Leno to stay with the network after he turns over the program to O'Brien in 2010. Executives are discussing the possibility of having Leno stay at NBC by having Jay replace Billy Bush on "Access ."
