不意外地,從年初的macworld缺席的Steve Jobs,於今天稍早宣布他的請假消息,他指出,因目前的健康狀況並不太理想,必須專心休息養身,且也必須讓蘋果能專注於開心更出眾的產品,所以他決定請假半年,由目前COO Tim Cook接手蘋果的營運…
筆者衷心祝福Steve能早日康復,並不是為了蘋果,而是感謝他對於筆者的日常生活起了這麼大的影響,最主要仍是iTune與iPhone。筆者也相信在這段時間內,蘋果並不會就此打住,產品還是持續的推進,謠傳的iPhone Nano以及新款iMac等都是下一波的發表候選名單。
讓我們來看看Steve寫給蘋果內部員工信的片段。
Team,
I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal
with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health
continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else
at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my
health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought.
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.
I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple’s day to day operations, and
I know he and the rest of the executive management team will do a great job. As
CEO, I plan to remain involved in major strategic decisions while I am out. Our
board of directors fully supports this plan.
I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.
Steve
