An Apple rumour put to bed......finally

Remember how a few months ago the blogosphere started a rumour about the health of Steve Jobs which sent their share price into free fall before it was squashed.

Well the truth is now out as Reuters explains

Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs sought to soothe investor concerns about his health on Monday, saying his weight loss was caused by a hormone imbalance that is relatively simple to treat.
Shares of Apple rose more than 3 percent in early trade, as Jobs, a pancreatic cancer survivor, said he would remain CEO during his recovery and that his doctors expect him to regain his weight by late spring.
