Is sharing the stage an easy means of diluting the impact of stories about Steve Job's health?<p>Given the jittery stock market prices each time a Jobs health story is written, this seems like good business sense.<p>It will take some time to bring home the message to stock holders; Steve Jobs is not Apple, and Apple is not Steve Jobs.<p>It does not need to indicate Steve Jobs is leaving.

SJ looks pretty thin in the last picture.

I definitely got this vibe from the proceedings as well. Especially from the Macbook video that is all Ive. It's sad to see him go but good to know that it will be a slow transition.

I think he'll be around long enough for the new Newton.

I don't think so really. I mean the MacBooks are a design masterpiece and what better person to present them than their lead designer. I wouldn't read too much into this.

Ah, dammit. Goddammit all. This is bad.

I don't understand all this talk about his health being a private matter. I sure wouldn't feel that way if I were an AAPL shareholder.

I think the chance that gizmodo is full of shit is much higher then the chance that Steve Jobs walks away from apple while it's turning into his vision. It seems much more likely to me that some asshat at gizmodo wants pageviews then that this analysis is right. Part of Steve's Jobs job (um) is to train execs that are ready to step into his shoes. That doesn't mean he is leaving.
