The news that greeted the SNS Subscribers this morning was about Steve Jobs and it was not a happy one.
Mark Andersen, the CEO of SNS wrote:
"To All SNS Members:
Steve Jobs took a leave from Apple, announced this afternoon. In his email to employees, he said:
"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."
SNSers will recall my past Alerts on this subject. I don't see an Apple, the way we would define the company, without Steve.
Our members were already warned about the serious nature of all this, going back to issues and Alerts last year. Anyone who thinks Steve is Apple will now be recommended to look at Apple as Apple Without Steve.
This is extremely unfortunate, and I wish the best to everyone at the company, and to Steve and his family.

Steve Jobs is no ordinary man. He is an entrepreneur and innovator par excellence.
An avid fan of his killer apps - the mac and the Ipod, I felt a strange feeling of sadness reading the news. Strange because I have not had the privilege of seeing this man speak even from afar, though I try to see all his new product launches.
However, people like Steve has a ripple effect on others - they touch the world through their outrageously innovative but simple products.
Recently, when I bought my kids their notebook (computer) I felt deep inside me that I was short-changing them.
This is how, Steve and Apple has touched the lives of people around the Globe.
We wish Mr Jobs a speedy recovery and Apple all the best. May the company continue to change the world of computing and technology.
