In case there is any ambiguity of Mr. Jobs' start date, CNBC and Reuters have him covered.  They both report that he showed up for work Monday.

Jobs, who has been on medical leave since January, was seen by a Reuters reporter leaving the Apple campus in Cupertino, California dressed in his trademark black turtleneck and jeans. He walked out chatting with another person before climbing into a black car that then drove off.

There was no word on how many bathroom breaks he took nor what he had for lunch but we'll follow up if that information becomes available.

I can't tell if your being serious here or not. That's kinda disturbing. =/

Give the man a break (In case it wasn't a joke).

Funny. You write that line as if you Apple Fanbois don't really care.

"You write that line as if you Apple Fanbois don't really care"

The above line was written for the anti-Apple Fanbois, who out number their Apple counterparts 10:1. Remember what Bob Dylan once sang, "Everyone must serve someone" or updated to "Everyone must be a Fanbois"

I think you should stop covering it. The story is now over. Until there there is something new, that's newsworthy, I don't care.

He took medical leave because he was sick. A leave of absence implies series illness. He's recovered enough to come back to work.

Short of a brain transplant -or any treatment that would revert him back to liking physical buttons- I don't care what specifically he had done. I'm happy he's better- as I would be for anyone.

I was at the Apple Campus, he took approximately 3 bathroom breaks. For lunch he had a ham and cheese sandwich, a cup of yogurt and some chips (don't know exactly what type of chips). He also coughed ten times, and he blinked approximately 243 times.

Hope this is enough information for everyone :)

I'm sure he did not eat a ham and cheese and a cup of yogurt unless his eating habits have changed. who knows, maybe they have.

Wait! How many times did he pick his nose? Or farted? How many times did he pass wind today?

When he left work, how many steps did it take him? 75 or 65?

I hate the one to be pointing this out to you both, but 9to5mac already took the joke far enough. You killed it, took it too far, and made it creepy. Please get some sense and stop making stupid puns.

Being that I've eaten on campus there, all I can say is I'm sure it was better than what any of us had.

Great picture, I wonder what he is thinking there.

"How dare you disrespect me by wearing a white T Shirt under there"

It's disgusting to see religious commercials at 9to5mac.com

And I'm not talking about Apple, but the sick cult with Tom Cruise as a member.

It probably has as much to do with your cookies as with 9to5mac
Do you like the 'flat stomach' one better?

is El Jobso focusing a death ray on that guy or what?

9to5Mac Noob (not verified) | June 23, 2009 - 11:29am

Did he check in with the Doctor or company nurse? They have to contact the Wall Street Journal who then will let the SEC know what they should investigate this week.

there was less coverage when Dick Cheney had heart surgery... He was sick, he left, he got fixed, he's back. Great. Now let the man pee in peace.

that there are UrinalCams around campus with ethernet connections reporting on chemical composition of the streams. Contaminated by the urinal cakes of course. (gone far enough ?)

I don't get any objectionable ads but I'd recommend clicking on them. It charges the advertiser and gives revenue to 9to5. Least you can do to stick it to them.

I doubt that major Apple shareholders get the same information as we do regarding top managers' health.

And by the way, why should we users care ? It's not like Steve's health is gonna change my next Apple purchases, is it?
