Tuesday, June 30, 2009:
Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who has been on medical leave since January, is back at work. The 54-year-old took a five-and-a-half months leave of absence from Apple to undergo a liver transplant in Memphis, Tennessee. Jobs' prognosis was "excellent". However, Jobs will not be on the Apple campus every day as he is still recovering.
"Steve is back to work," Apple spokesman Steve Dowling said in a statement. "He's currently at Apple a few days a week and working from home the remaining days.

We are very glad to have him back."
Jobs' return to the office follows months of speculation about his health and his future at the firm he co-founded more than 30 years ago. On 14 January 2009, Jobs had announced medical leave until the end of June, saying his health issues were "more complex" than originally thought. He handed day-to-day operations to chief operating officer Tim Cook and said he planned to remain involved in major strategic decisions.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reportedly examined Apple's disclosures about Jobs to ensure investors were not misled.
Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2004.
Bloomberg quoted Gene Munster, an analyst with Piper Jaffray & Co. in Minneapolis, as saying, "Jobs's return may reassure investors concerned that he was too sick to continue as CEO. It should give investors confidence in Apple's three-to- five-year road map. Having Steve Jobs back means they got the visionary back."
On 22 June 2009, Jobs was spotted at the Apple campus in Cupertino, California, underscoring expectations that he was either back at work or would return soon.
