An attorney for Apple CEO Steve Jobs has stated that his client must miss a town council meeting due to ill health.

This would not be newsworthy, except that Apple has not changed its public statement that Jobs will be back on the job in June, and that Jobs' personalistic management style is the beating heart of the company.

Anyone who has ever attended a mildly contentious town meeting over zoning issues would probably look for any excuse to avoid having to attend another one. But one of the most pressing topics for Apple in the second half of the year will be the health of its founder, after the company made his health a public matter with revelations in January that Jobs was suffering from a hormone imbalance.

From the quarterly earnings call, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer holds the line Steve's return: "We look forward to Steve returning to Apple at the end of June."
