Well, I really hope that's true, but honestly I have to say, I saw it too. Jobs looked noticeably different than his last public appearance, and also seemed to be having trouble remembering his train of thought at several moments. It was out of character for a guy known for his remarkable speaking skills. Whether he's got a deeper health issue or not, he definitely wasn't on the ball that day, and that's a pretty rare miss for Jobs.
I agree, the concept of telling everyone "THE BOSS IS FINE, GET BACK TO WORK" keeps stock prices up.
If Jobs is sick, even temporarirly they won't tell anyone until the last possible moment and only if they have to.
If it's the cancer again, we won't know for a long time, if ever.
Jobs is the heart and soul of Apple. The company slowly withered away without him (even though it had talented engineers and great products), and surged back to life and prosperity when he returned. I don't think there's anyone who could fill that guy's shoes, and in a way it's a bit scary. What would Apple do without him?
Prosper, if he sets it up correctly. As another poster noted, SJ won't be around forever - no one gets out of this game alive. SJ has a responsibility to groom at least one, perhaps more future leaders of Apple. Tying up Apple's life with Steve's is a foolish mistake. Those who are familiar with the biblical story of the death of Moses/Moshe know that his body was perhaps hidden so that the people would stop focusing on him in a cult of personality and rather focus on the message of living an ethical life in the promised land according to the given biblical commandments. Isn't Steve's message and examples of aspiring for elegant, intelligent design in technology ultimately more important than Steve himself?

Steve should be grooming a successor. He probably is. He can't be around forever.
Sure he can; they will just put his head in a jar...
Nixon did it!
Make sure your comments are concise, visionary and prosperly spelled.
