By Matthew Campbell - Jan 17, 2011 Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs was granted a medical leave of absence to focus on his health, the company said.
Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook will be responsible for the Cupertino, California-based company’s day-to-day operations, with Jobs continuing as CEO, Apple said, citing an e-mail to employees from Jobs.
“I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can,” Jobs, 55, said in the e-mail.
