Plush Steve Jobs is Both Hilarious and Huggable
When my wife walked up the driveway from our mailbox today holding a padded envelope, sporting a smirk on her face, I knew something was up. She handed the envelope to me and told me to open it.
Inside was a plush version of Apple CEO and Disney board member Steve Jobs. I had no idea such a thing even existed, but now he’s lurking around my desk, judging my every move. He’s only been here for a few minutes and already I feel like I have to be more productive or else I’m at risk of being fired from my own office.
Here he is posing with my iMac and iPod:
He won’t stop staring. Must. Get. Work. Done.
“Plush Jobs” (his official name) is available from PodBrix here.
TweetSteve Jobs not at Disney shareholder meeting
From bizjournals.com:
TweetMarketWatch on Tuesday posted a correction to earlier stories that appeared in several online news reports saying Apple Inc.’s Steve Jobs put in an appearance at the Walt Disney Co. shareholders meeting.
Jobs, who is on a health-related leave of absence from Cupertino-based Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), was re-elected to the Disney board, reports said.
Earlier reports said Jobs attended the meeting.
Jobs did not attend Apple’s shareholder meeting earlier this year, citing health issues. A cancer survivor, Jobs in January took a leave to address health issues that have drawn heavy investor interest.
Disney Chairman John Pepper, however, told investors at Tuesday’s meeting that his board has “not thought at all” about the possibility Jobs may step down. With a 7.4 percent stake, the Apple CEO is Disney’s largest shareholder.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs Takes Medical Leave
From www.nytimes.com:
TweetCUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — Apple Inc.’s CEO Steve Jobs says he is taking a medical leave of absence until the end of June.
Jobs told employees in an e-mail that his health issues are more complex than he thought.
Last week, Jobs announced he had a hormone deficiency that had caused him to dramatically lose weight.
Apple’s chief operating officer, Tim Cook, will take over Jobs’ responsibilities while he is on leave.
