After weeks of speculation about his health, Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs is taking a leave of absence from the computer and music-player maker to deal with health issues.
Jobs, who announced last week that he suffered from a hormone imbalance that caused him to lose weight, said he will be away from the job until the end of June.
He said curiosity over his personal health was a distraction and that his health-related issues have become "more complex" during the past week.
Tim Cook, the company's chief operating officer, will be responsible for Apple's day-to-day operations, according to a company statement.
