But he has created a winning plan whether someone likes him or not that needs to be conceded.
Still, I read your comment as intending to ask if he was not spending too much effort trying to run Apple rather than his health. Look at it this way, a person driven as Jobs NEEDS TO WORK to keep himself going. So it's likely the best thing for him to do as much as he can. I find no fault in this at all.
Now consider nobody knows if it really was Jobs pulling this trigger or not. Right now nobody knows what the official policy really is or who is really making the decisions at Apple. I know they recently released some sort of statement that Jobs was still running the show, but that was possibly only to placate the shareholders.
I had a boss once who was a kidney-pancreas transplant patient. He was back to work two weeks after the transplants. Why? Because getting people as active as possible is found to be one of the best treatments helping such patients survive longer. I see the same thing for Jobs and I hope nobody ever questions his desire to do a good job. We all might see it differently but his motives are all in an effort to succeed and in many cases prove people wrong. Nothing wrong with that....
But I have to agree it's not right to question him in how he chooses to live his life. My only interest is the business decisions and how they could affect my use of the products.

thank you for answering me civilly xD; i thought everyone was going to hate me for that.
anyway, like i said in some other threads, i just wish that apple would sort out the geo restrictions before they implement this, at the very least. at the moment i don't have full access to the iBookstore, and the kindle app is how i surf for books on my ipod touch.
