According to Bloomberg, El Jobso is going to be a no-show for this year's Shareholder meeting.  Dare we ask?

Steve Jobs, his first absence since he reclaimed leadership of the company more than a decade ago.

The Feb. 25 meeting -- a day after Jobs’s 54th birthday -- will give shareholders the opportunity to question executives and Apple’s directors, who have remained silent about the CEO’s health since he went on medical leave last month. It is also earlier in the year than usual; for the past 10 years, Apple has held the meeting in March, April or May.

 

 This follows a weekend report that Stevo's been cutting back on the iChatin'

He said when he'd be back. He said why he was away. He said who's doing the day to day business. It's probably better he isn't showing, as the meeting would be lopsided by his presence and the clamour over his situation.

If Jobs isn't involved in day-to-day operations, then it doesn't make sense for him to be a figure at the shareholder holder meeting.

I'm sure that they won't give a status or anything - I think the board wants to let the shareholders know that they are firmly in charge of the ship while Steve is recovering.

Steve says he's taking a leave of absence.

Steve says it will run until the end of June.

He won't be at a meeting in February.

February is between his announcement of a leave of absence and the end of June.

So, erm, what was the story again, Bloomberg?
