Apple Inc begins the New Year on an unhealthy note. Steve Jobs has broken the silence, putting an end to months of speculation about his ill health.
In an e-mail sent to Apple employees, he dismissed rumours that he was on the 'deathbed'.
"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 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," he said.
