Speaking at the Wall Street Journal’s All Things D conference in Southern California, Apple Co-founder Steve Wozniak said Jobs didn’t “seem to be in a health crisis.” Moreover, Woz added, Steve Jobs was “healthy, energetic” and “doesn’t sound like he’s sick,” according to the WSJ. However, Woz did mention he hadn't actually asked Apple's CEO directly about his health.

This is not the first time Steve Wozniak, Apple co-founder and friend of Steve Jobs, is quoted on the matter. America's favorite geek was kind enough to do an interview with the folks at NBC on Steve Jobs' health issues and, implicitly, his medical leave announced earlier this year.

During the interview, Woz suggested that we should just trust Jobs. Apple's CEO wrote an open letter to the Apple Community, as well as an e-mail to Apple staffers, saying that, “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.”

Based on these statements, Woz told NBC that, “We should just trust him, what he says is what we ought to accept.” He noted that, regardless of how much info Jobs would disclose, people would always want more, and even suggested Jobs' leave could turn out to be a potentially positive move for the company.

“What do you do when you rest, sometimes your mind floats,” Wozniak explained, suggesting that the break could allow Jobs to develop “better concepts and products and ways that the future could be, the way that we live our lives [...] more than almost any individual could, probably a great great thing for Apple.”

That, of course, remains to be seen.

Steve Wozniak also made headlines this year for his courageous initiative to “dance with the stars,” where he got the crowds cheering, but not the judges.
