Today, Apple’s board of directors granted Steve Jobs a medical leave of absence so he can focus on his health.
Jobs sent out an email to all Apple employees and said that he is still going to be CEO of Apple and he will still be involved in “major strategic decisions” for the company, but has asked Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook to be responsible for all of Apple’s day-to-day operations.
