It's definitely not only about the design of the products. Steve had a great impact on _which_ designs came to market, which products never made it etc. The "general direction" stuff can be even more important imho.

Yah, I sure hope he gets better. Stress on him probably puts stress on his family as well and I'm sure they'll love to have them back and maybe some vacation time once he starts improving. But I wonder if Steve be on edge the entire time because he can't always be at Apple to make decisions all the time.

i hope he gets better too. I just remeber when he came back to Apple it was Steve who had the idea to the little computer that changed Apple, the iMac. He got a lot of flack for insisting on using only USB on the iMac. Also for interesting was Jobs encouraging Jonathan Ive all these years separating the Mac from other computer designs. I just hope he gets some rest and gets back to health. Everyone should take a holiday every fews years or stress will get the best of you.

Steve said in his letter than even though he won't physically be present at Apple during this time that he would still be involved in "executive-level" decisions. So his decision-making will still be present and active at Apple, just his physical presence won't.

Steve Jobs is inspirational. Apple are inspirational.

I wish Jobs well. I hope he is in a position to further inspire the company in the years ahead. I am sure this is what he would wish for.

Yah, I saw that. But it says "executive-level" decisions, such as removing something like the Mac Mini, but what else does that include?

Well Fake Steve (NewsWeek's Daniel Lyons) is banging on the media's poor reporting on Apple's handling of the situation in the article Rotten Reporting - The media's coverage of Apple bites. Here's why.. He evens covers his banning from CNBC because of the video here.
