Steve Jobs takes medical leave

Surprise, surviving cancer is fucking hard, and announcing this before the quarterly earnings session was a good thing.

However, and I know I'm alone in this, and it's futile, but could people please, please, PLEASE not lose their fucking minds about this, and TRY to be even BARELY rational? Better yet, don't fucking bombard every apple.com email address you know with stuff.

Leave the man alone for a bit, he's going to be busy enough as it is. Just once, how about the internet not be a douchbag collective about this.

Also, speaking as someone who's lost both parents, and too many relatives to various forms of Cancer, I hope people leave him and his family the fuck alone. They're dealing with a ton of shit right now, and for the foreseeable future. The last thing they need are intarwebtards fucking with them.
