Apple Confirms: Steve Jobs Back at Work

Bloomberg has received confirmation from Apple that Steve Jobs has returned to work at Apple following his liver transplant, currently working part-time at the company’s headquarters in Cupertino and part-time from home. Jobs reportedly returned to work last Monday.

Steve Jobs is back at work at Apple Inc., returning to his job as chief executive officer as planned after taking medical leave in January.

“Steve is back to work,” Steve Dowling, an Apple spokesman, said today. Jobs is at Apple a few days a week and working at home the remaining days, he said. “We are very glad to have him back,” Dowling said.

Steve Jobs is doing fine medically, operating much the way he did before his recent liver problems took hold, say Bloomberg sources said to be “close” to the Apple CEO. The major issue is believed to be weight, as Jobs remains unusually thin, to the extent that he allegedly discusses the problem with acquaintances. One former Apple executive observes though that Jobs has actually intensified work since returning. Three other Apple workers comment that he has been seen around the Cupertino campus more often, for instance taking meals in the cafeteria.
