Steve Jobs Comes Clean About Health, AAPL Up
Apple CEO Steve Jobs today decided to "share something very personal with the Apple community"--in an open letter posted everywhere, like here at Silicon Alley Insider. Responding to persistent "rumour, speculation and unhealthy ghoulishness" about his health (says Stuff & Things) and to "stories of me on my deathbed," Jobs writes that his visible weight loss has been due to a "a hormone imbalance that has been "robbing" me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy." No need to panic: "The remedy...is relatively simple and straightforward," Jobs writes, (via Cult of Mac). He'll take time at home and stay CEO. "Steve's no dummy," says The Unofficial Apple Weblog. "I applaud him taking this time to be with his family...let's hope this puts a little water on the doomsayers out there." The disclosure should help reassure many that his tenure at Apple is not coming to an end, says Mac Observer. Concurs Furrier.org:"Steve will be around for a while." Everyone wishes Jobs a speedy recovery, but not everyone is ready to relax...

Sad news: John Travolta and Kelly Preston's 16-year-old son, Jett, died Friday after an apparent seizure while vacationing with his family in the Bahamas. An autopsy is scheduled for today (via The Insider). An official statement has been posted on the Travoltas' website. Some questions surround Jett's death: Gawker reports that Travolta's rumored gay lover and one of family's two nannies, Jeff Kathrein, discovered Jett's body, and writes, "His qualifications for childcare are unclear, other than being a Scientologist like Jett's parents." Some are also wondering whether Jett's seizures were caused by autism, which Scientologists do not recognize as a medical disorder, believing it "falls into the category of 'mental illness'" (via Hollywood Backwash). "The health problems of tragic teen Jett Travolta would not have been properly treated unless his celebrity Scientologist parents had rejected their religion's theories on medicine, outraged experts said yesterday," writes the New York Post. "In the end, though, a life is lost, which is a tragedy," writes Post Script, the mom of a son with autism who previously suffered from seizures. "I hope all was done for that child that was possible."
