Steve Jobs and liver transplant

Have you heard the news? Steve Jobs is back.
 
Well, I think it was the job. It might have been some other thin middle-aged man jeans hanging around Apple in Cupertino campus dress and black-necked sweater. But really and truly profound Apple wants us to believe in another miracle, St. Stephen is back on the ball, just weeks after upgrading their internal organs.

Last week the Wall Street Journal Job undergoing a liver transplant in April was followed immediately by a) a soft statement to a press release purportedly made by Jobs and b) a few sightings suspiciously Apple icon at the headquarters of the company.

Hey, if Steve really feel well enough to return to work just weeks after switching to one of its most important organs, then more power to him. Hopefully that stays on top of the stack of Apple for another 10 years. But the foul stench of another public relations move designed to hide the true story of the man and his health. And that's not right.

So far, history has gone from "Steve is well and that none of your beeswax, why is it so damn skinny" to "Steve is just taking a break to deal with this hormone imbalance little, nothing to see here ", then" The transplantation of liver, liver transplantation "and finally" Hey, Steve's back - all of you now to worship him as the Man-God is. "

Normally, I think somebody's personal health status should be just that - personal. But Steve Jobs is not just one person. He is an institution. He is the straw that stirs the drink, the crunch cold quench our thirst for gadgets great and still leaves us wanting more.

Jobs has deliberately became the public face of your company. Their products speak for themselves, that speaks for them. And while thousands of talented people who are involved in the creation and marketing of these products, Jobs is practically the only one nobody sees.

The difference between Apple with Jobs and Apple without Jobs is the difference between the Beatles and Beatlemania. They are not the same company. And while that may not be evident in the last six months, it will become clear in a long time.

Chris The Mercury News' O'Brien says that Apple fans, employees and shareholders have a right to feel used and deceived:

To not at the level of this legion of fans, who have invested emotionally in the purchase and praising the company and its products, it seems a betrayal of a special relationship. People queue overnight for the iPhone, who blog about their devotion to Apple, which help spread the cold plate, deserve better. Not being directly with the fans, Apple risks to break that bond of trust.

The New York Times Joe 'says Nocera Jobs welfare state is only the beginning of the questions that Apple should respond, but probably not:

If Mr. Jobs had retired from Apple - or had taken a leave open - then I would say yes, it is your business and its investors. But he did not. He took a leave of six months, ending on Monday. Since it is reported back to work. But what does that mean? Are you completely back in the chair? Are part-time? It is involved only in major strategic decisions? Do you turn your old micro-management of oneself? Have we reached a point, in other words, when your health is affecting your ability to function in Apple? That's the real question, right? Jobs are health problems that affect their work?

Apple PR did not mean "dung" if they had a mouthful of it, and that's the way you want it Jobs. But that's not how it should be.

When you're CEO of - let's say, the top consumer electronics brand in the world - can not be a public figure and an individual. The employment situation is different from, say, Madonna and A-Rod. Thousands of employees and billions of dollars are riding on men's health. Even the mighty Steven Santa not only can remove the veil and say to disappear.

But knowing your work is almost certainly going to keep trying.
