Speculation: Steve Jobs Won’t Return

There’s an interesting, but nauseating, story at Wired’s Gadget Lab about how Steve Jobs probably won’t come back to work after his five-month sick leave, based on remarks from various analysts and experts. Long story short, Apple and Jobs haven’t been completely forthcoming about his health in the past, and this general unreliability casts doubt on any announcements he or the company make. Additionally, one doctor says Jobs’ thinner appearance over the last year is a sign of active cancer. The truly sad unmentionable here is that Jobs could very well die if these speculators are correct, but none of them have direct knowledge of Jobs’ situation. Maybe it’s best to let the man deal with his health issues in peace. [Wired]
