어제밤 가장 큰 뉴스는 스티브 잡스의 건강 이상인것 같습니다.
맥월드 키노트 발표를 하루 남겨놓고 맥월드 키노트에 대한 루머가 아닌 스티브 잡스의 건강 이상에 대한 이야기가 가장 크게 나왔다는 점은 그만큼 스티브 잡스가 중요한 사람이라는 것을 의미하는것이라 생각한다.

스티브 잡스는 호르몬의 균형이 안맞는다고 한다.
하지만 언제나처럼 큰 문제는 아니니 걱정하지 말라고 한다.
그리고 CEO 직은 계속 유지할 예정이다.

애플 홈페이지를 통해 스티브 잡스가 직접 편지 형식으로 발표했다.
그래서 큰 일이 아닐거라 믿고 싶지만..
그래도 걱정되는것이 사실이다.

아래는 스티브 잡스의 편지 전문이다.

Letter from Apple CEO Steve Jobs

Dear Apple Community,

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.

Unfortunately, my decision to have Phil deliver the Macworld keynote set off another flurry of rumors about my health, with some even publishing stories of me on my deathbed.

I’ve decided to share something very personal with the Apple community so that we can all relax and enjoy the show tomorrow.

As many of you know, I have been losing weight throughout 2008. The reason has been a mystery to me and my doctors. A few weeks ago, I decided that getting to the root cause of this and reversing it needed to become my #1 priority.

Fortunately, after further testing, my doctors think they have found the cause—a hormone imbalance that has been “robbing” me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy. Sophisticated blood tests have confirmed this diagnosis.

The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward, and I’ve already begun treatment. But, just like I didn’t lose this much weight and body mass in a week or a month, my doctors expect it will take me until late this Spring to regain it. I will continue as Apple’s CEO during my recovery.

I have given more than my all to Apple for the past 11 years now. I will be the first one to step up and tell our Board of Directors if I can no longer continue to fulfill my duties as Apple’s CEO. I hope the Apple community will support me in my recovery and know that I will always put what is best for Apple first.

So now I’ve said more than I wanted to say, and all that I am going to say, about this.

Steve
