In an unprecedented letter to Apple investors and consumers this morning, Chief Executive Steve Jobs revealed that a hormone imbalance is 'robbing' his body of proteins, causing him to drastically lose weight and triggering deep concern about his health in recent months. Jobs said he has begun treatment and will remain head of the Cupertino company. The news buoyed Apple's stock, which shot up more than 4 percent in early morning trading to $94.66. (link)
