I don't normally like to talk about other people's health, nor do I get involved in discussions about Steve Jobs and rumoured health concerns. It has long been my belief that Steve Jobs' health is his business, and is not for discussion.

However after the recent announcement that Steve Jobs would not be doing the keynote at Macworld, speculation about his health went wild. We saw stories ranging from political reasons right through to writing him off. Today Steve Jobs seemingly drew a line under the whole issue when Apple published a letter from Steve regarding his recent health. In this letter he explains he has been losing weight, and this has been found to be caused by a hormone imbalance. Treatment is now underway and Steve Jobs is expected to be fully recovered by the end of Spring. The full text of the letter can be found here (my thanks to pcpro.co.uk).

I, like many others, wish Steve Jobs a speedy recovery
