Great news! I pointed it out to a friend of mine today that Steve's name was on that press release.

Heyyyyy Jobsy! Welcome back mayyyte!!!! Say got a spare 3Gs I can borrow? Gatesy nicked my Pokk-PC.... Bewdy!!!
 
Meh....

Now the tens of thousands of Apple employees who actually make it happen won't be noticed - the spotlight is back on the Lord God Jobs.

Sigh....
 
Who would rate this story negative? What kind of self-hating nimrod sadist would do a thing like that?

Does Bill Gates have an account on here? What about Lauren from those stupid PC ads? Anyone?

'self-hating nimrod...' funny... :)

Some at MR have a good sense of humor, I had a laugh... :)

Nahh... Lauren is still trying to get her PC to work... stuck with 1995 virus update by now... 14 more years of virus updates to go before she can use her cheapo PC...
 
Is ballmer really that stupid in real life.:D

Well, well. "I. LOVE. THIS. COMPANY!"
I guess that says it all. I'm not much into all this hero worship stuff but I have NEVER been ashamed of being an Apple 'fan'. Steve Jobs is not an embarassment, alas.

Good luck to the man.
 
Steve - as a few other have said - your contributions have been nothing short of SUPERB and we look forward to experiencing more of your creative products / experiences over many years to come.


:D :D WELCOME BACK :D :D
 
For reference...

Steve Wozniak > Steve Jobs > Bill Gates > Steve Ballmer. :p

They snuck in FireWire while Steve was gone...too Apple employees didn't have time to add more graphics options to the Mac line and update the Mac Pro to have a full Tylersburg logic board. :(
 
Welcome back Mr. Jobs!

Hope all is well, Mr. Jobs! Take it easy for now, it's summertime, after all. Enjoy it! I haven't bought my iPhone 3GS yet, but I will soon. Take care!
 
I see my Ballmer photo got a lot of the..........um........fanboys stirred up. C'mon guys, let's keep things in moderately good taste, mmmkay? Thanks. :D
 
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that he's getting back into the swing of things...but not b/c he's Steve Jobs, but rather because I don't wish bad on anyone.

That said, why does everyone on the forum act like they actually care? Like it has any sort of effect on you whatsoever? Like he gives 2 ***** about anyone on this forum. It just blows my mind how people act as if they know him, what he is thinking, how he feels about what Apple has done. As I've seen over and over again, nobody on this forum has a clue on what apple is thinking or Steve Jobs for that matter, so don't act like you do.

Steve Jobs is back, great, good for him...why will this thread be 200 posts long within an hour though????

Off my rant

Hats off for that! Again - most Apple people remind me of the Simpson parody - Mapple where they discuss their beloved leader and founder Steve Mobs. Funny stuff, indeed and like all satire it is firmly grounded in the truth.

I AM glad he is feeling well enough to return to work but believe it or not, Apple will continue and may actually prosper without Mr. Jobs.

Eh, this website is called MacRumors. Maybe you'd be better off over at the pent-up-angry-douchebag website. Might be a little more your speed.

The guy is healthier and he's someone who is partly responsible for bringing joy to many of the people who come here. Just well-wishers. It's all cool, dude.

I was put in time-out for a comment not NEARLY as rude and dis-respectful as that post - what gives? Learn to be understanding of those who dissent and not so angry - that is the problem with the world today. The quoted poster actually made a lot of sense, to me anyway, with his comments. He was abl to do that without using silly and crude language. You should try it - it is called civil English - used to construct rational and reasonable discourse.

He's gonna be pissed when he finds out that chicken salad sandwich isn't in the breakroom fridge anymore.

Fortunately, the half-drunk Pibb-Extra is still safe and sound.

Really ... I would picture Apple employees as Tab drinkers, actually. :cool: Welcome back, Steve. Hope you're feeling better.
 
Welcome back, Steve! Without you, there wasn't balance in the tech universe, just a sweaty evil gnome squatting in his dark tower, scheming to steal your precioussss...

Good Steve has returned to battle Evil Steve!
