Steve Jobs back to work at Apple

And he's back, folks. Six months after Steve Jobs took a medical leave from Apple due to health reasons, the company has announced that he's back on the job, working a "few days a week" on the Apple campus and from home the remainder. Of course, we'd been hearing of Steve's continual involvement in "key aspects" of Apple's business for a while now, so this seems like more of a rubber stamp on the status quo than a major change, but now that it's official we're sure the questions from shareholders and other interested parties regarding Steve's health will only grow louder and more insistent -- especially given the news of his liver transplant earlier this year. We'll see how Apple decides to handle the situation when the time comes -- until then, we're just thankful that he's returned and is doing well.

I can just imagine Steve Ballmer now, choking the life out of his hired voodoo doctor...

"Damn you! Can't you see?! It didn't work!"

Ballmer, is that you?

He's back in black!!!

[Pingles Posted Jun 29th 2009 3:21PM]

I hope he looks better than that picture. I'm skinny but that picture gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Hurray! the Messiah (TM) has returned.

[kobioshi Posted Jun 29th 2009 3:34PM]

The man is the ultimate comeback kid! I have never heard of anyone having so many second chances... kicked from his old company, executes the greatest corporate coup ever and takes it all back bringing Apple to a whole new level. Gets cancer, wins that battle, then his liver dies, and he gets a new one... BTW I think he paid a lot of money to get to the front of the line for livers and I wonder how many people were ahead of him who now has a lower chance of survival because of his privileged status.

You shouldn't say stuff like that.

[Bro Posted Jun 29th 2009 6:18PM]

Every time Engadget posts something about Apple it gets over 100 comments, but everything else gets like 30 comments.

[badis Posted Jun 29th 2009 7:13PM]

I stand corrected, demon eyes withstanding, no-one knows when anyone will die.

[metric Posted Jun 29th 2009 7:47PM]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!
YEA BOYYYYYYY!!!!!

[Ducman69 Posted Jun 29th 2009 8:58PM]

Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Billy Mays have to die but epic snob douche-canoe Steve Jobs lives on... THERE IS NO GOD!

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 30th 2009 3:08AM]

Did you seriously just compare Billy Mays to Steve Jobs... favorably? I'm sorry, could you remind me again exactly what Billy Mays contributed to society as we know it? It's funny, I don't see Wall Street going crazy because Billy Mays died, do you?

OH NOES, a TV infomercial salesman died. WHATEVER WILL WE DO NOW?

[Kizorblade Posted Jun 30th 2009 1:31PM]

@Zak

NO MORE SALES
THE ECONOMY WILL GO BUST!
WE'RE DOOMED I TELL YOU.

Anyway, regardless of who he was or anything, it sucks that he had to die. Truly.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 29th 2009 11:57PM]

Sh*t, he's not dead yet?

[Tullsy Posted Jun 30th 2009 1:53AM]

"Steve Jobs back to work at Apple"... and not a soul cares.

Welcome back - and best wishes for a healthy and happy recovery

[TheWB Posted Jun 30th 2009 6:26AM]

Welcome back, Steve!

This is the cancer that's killing /Apple/

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 30th 2009 6:48AM]

welcome back :)

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 7th 2009 6:26AM]

I think this is great news! It's made my day finding out about Steve's return to Apple. I have been a mac user for years, as well as a user of Windows and Linux and Apple have always been a firm winner with me, buy a long shot. Steve Job's has made a great contribution to the success of Apple and I hope that he continues to do so now that he's back with my favorite computer manufacturer.
