Wow, our fearless leader had a life or death confrontation not too long ago. I didn't know about this!

Jobs had the surgery, on Saturday, July 31, 2004, at Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, near his home. The revelation of his brush with death remained - like everything involving Jobs and Apple - a tightly controlled affair. In fact, nary a word got out until Jobs' tumor had been removed. The next day, in an upbeat e-mail to employees later released to the press, he announced that he had faced a life-threatening illness and was "cured." Jobs assured everyone that he'd be back on the job in September. When trading resumed a day after the announcement, Apple shares fell just 2.4%.

Just? Well thats more like a slide or a dip. Oh well three years later the stock was at like 212. Still that could be a clue to what might happen if jobs lets go of the reigns of apple.
