"Apple on Monday announced that chief executive Steve Jobs will take a medical of absence.
The company did not say how long the absence will last, but in an e-mail to employees, Jobs said he will continue as CEO and be involved in all the major strategic decisions at Apple.
'At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health," Jobs wrote. "I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for all of Apple's day to day operations.'
Jobs took a medical leave of absence in January 2009 due to hormonal problem that made it difficult for his body to process proteins. It was later confirmed that Jobs underwent a liver transplant. He returned to work in June 2009.
Jobs was also diagnosed with and treated for a rare type of pancreatic cancer in 2004, but he said the 2009 absence was not a resurgence of that cancer."
