ZDNet's Sam Diaz reports on headlines from Marketwatch revealing that Steve Jobs made an appearance at Disney's annual shareholders meeting today. The appearance is Jobs' first in public since before announcing a six-month medical leave in January.

Diaz contacted Disney in an attempt to confirm that Jobs was indeed in attendance.
Calls out to Disney to confirm Jobs appearance. A move to appear at Disney's shareholder meeting makes sense on a few levels. For starters, Jobs is a major Disney shareholder and he can make his first appearance without the hubbub associated with an Apple event.

Jobs has been a member of Disney's board of directors and the company's largest individual shareholder since Disney acquired Pixar in 2006. He, along with the rest of Disney's board of directors, was reelected at today's meeting.

Update: MarketWatch has retracted their headlines.

Maybe feeling healthier now.. wonder what he looks like. Hopefully more body fat now..
 
That's great news, glad he is feeling better. But he should really lay low and take it easy at least until the summer. Life can't always be about work.
 
He probably wouldn't have come out of hiding if he wasn't getting better. He is smart enough to know this is going to be reported.
 
I wonder what kind of condition he is in. Obviously he is well enough to make it to a Disney shareholders meeting. Thats probably a little less stressful than a Apple event. Hope Jobs is feeling better soon
 
I think someone made a mistake... MarketWatch now writes the following:
2:31pm 03/10/09 CORRECT: Apple Chairman Steve Jobs not at Disney meeting - MarketWatch

I want pictures!!! What a good sign. Hope nothing but the best for him on his road to recovery!
 
Diaz, however, has not followed suit. In fact, Diaz has continued to provide updates from the audio webcast.

He has now:
Apple CEO Steve Jobs didn’t turn up after all at the Disney shareholder meeting, but he was a frequent topic of discussion. The biggest worry: Jobs’ 7.4 percent stake in the company would hit the open market if something happened to him.

Jerks.

I mean, sure, it was a shareholder meeting, and, sure, he owns more of the company that even the FAMILY, much less any other shareholder... at all.

But, seriously.

Even if Steve was younger and healthier, these are all things that would have to be considered.

However, wouldn't his stake be in his will? I don't see why it would be liquidated (although that still raises tremendous uncertainty as to the new ownership/control).

Yes, it was very good news at first (they even listed the implications).

Now that he wasn't there, we can look at the implications provided earlier and reverse them. Doesn't look so good now.
