Fulfilling his promise to officially return to work by the close of June, iconic Apple CEO Steve Jobs has this week ended his medical leave of absence and once more taken the reins of the Cupertino-based computer and gadgetry giant.

“Steve is back at work. He is currently at Apple a few days a week and working from home the remaining days,” outlined Apple spokesman Steve Dowling in an official press statement. “We are very glad to have him back.”
Announced in mid-January, the Apple CEO’s forced sabbatical was initially thought to be necessary due to an easily treatable hormone imbalance that had surfaced following Jobs’ successful battle with a rare form of pancreatic cancer in 2004.
However, it was recently revealed that Jobs had, in fact, undergone a liver transplant in Memphis at the top of the year and was using his time away from the office for vitally important recuperation.
Doctors from the Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute in Memphis, where Jobs received his new liver, have not divulged exactly why the operation was needed, but have insisted that the 54-year-old executive’s prognosis is extremely good.
