14 DAY TRIAL // Italian-language website setteB.IT claims to have gained knowledge of an “in shape” Steve Jobs being spotted on 27 May at Apple's Cupertino campus. More than one source has allegedly confirmed to the site that Apple's CEO returned to the company to attend a meeting.
A rough translation of the post reveals that, “Yesterday [Jobs] passed through the main entrance of Infinite Loop, [with] more than one source confirming to setteB.IT that the CEO of Apple yesterday returned to ... Apple to attend the meeting for direction.“The site notes that further details are not available for the time being, such as Steve Jobs' transportation methods to the Apple campus. The report also says that Steve Jobs seemed to be feeling good, according to those who saw him that day.
The news comes on the heels of Steve Wozniak's positive statements regarding Jobs' health status, at the Wall Street Journal’s All Things D conference in Southern California. Although admitting he hadn't actually asked Jobs personally about his health, the Apple co-founder said Jobs didn’t “seem to be in a health crisis.” Woz added that Steve Jobs was “healthy, energetic” and “doesn’t sound like he’s sick,” according to the WSJ.
Avid Softpedia readers may recall Steve Jobs' open letter to the Apple Community, where the Apple CEO stressed that, “For the first time in a decade, I’m getting to spend the holiday season with my family, rather than intensely preparing for a Macworld keynote.” At the time, Jobs confirmed his decision to have Phil deliver the Macworld keynote, which, unfortunately, “set off another flurry of rumors about my health,” as the letter said.
What already wasn't a very reassuring move for company watchers was about to spawn even more health concerns with the release of a second letter from Apple's CEO, this time directed to company staffers. The e-mail revealed that Jobs' condition was, apparently, more serious than originally believed. Jobs was hence forced to take a medical leave, from which he promised he'd return in six months' time. Apparently, Apple's head made good on his promise.
