Steve Jobs Skips Apple's Annual Meeting for First Time [Apple]
Gizmodo — Make of it what you will (and you will), but Steve Jobs is clearly taking his leave of absence seriously—he's missing Apple's annual meeting for the very first time since returning to Apple over 10 years ago. Obviously, many of the questions that shareholders will be slinging at Apple's executives on Wednesday, when the meeting takes place, pretty much write themselves, particularly given Steve's absence. At the meeting, shareholders will vote on whether to re-elect directors of the board to one-year terms—Al Gore, Google's Steve Schmidt and ...

Apple annual shareholder meeting Jobsless rate: 100%
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence — According to Bloomberg, El Jobso is going to be a no-show for this year's Shareholder meeting.  Dare we ask? Steve Jobs, his first absence since he reclaimed leadership of the company more than a decade ago. The Feb. 25 meeting -- a day after Jobs’s 54th birthday -- will give shareholders the opportunity to question executives and Apple’s directors, who have remained silent about the CEO’s health since he went on medical leave last month. It is also earlier in the year than usual; for the past 10 years, Apple has held the meeting in March, April or May.   ...

Jobs to miss Apple shareholder meeting this week
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) — Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Apple Corporate, Odds and ends, Other Events, Steve JobsBloomberg is reporting that Steve Jobs will not attend this week's Apple shareholder meeting. That's not a big surprise -- Jobs' health has kept him from attending recent usual events, including Macworld earlier this year. But it is the first time in the over 10 years since he rejoined the company that he won't be appearing at the annual meeting. Additionally, at this week's meeting, as usual, shareholders will vote on whether or not to re-elect Apple's directors to their one-year terms, including Jobs, ...

Apple’s growing cash hoard
MacBytes.com — Cash holdings 2/09 Two days before Apple’s ( AAPL ) annual meeting — the first in more than a decade that Steve Jobs won’t attend — Financial Alchemist ’s Turley Muller offers beleaguered shareholders a statistic that should provide some comfort: Apple’s cash holdings have grown at an annual rate of 50% (year-to-year) or more every quarter for the past two years. ( link )“Cash flow, not earnings, best reflects a firm’s investment prospects,” writes Muller in a post published Monday. This is especially true for Apple these days because the usual standard for evaluating a stock — earnings per share (EPS) — captures only a fraction ...

Apple shareholders will re-elect board
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) — Filed under: Apple Corporate, Steve Jobs, AppleEarlier this week, Bloomberg reported that Steve Jobs would not attend Apple's shareholder meeting, scheduled for this week. It would be the first one Steve missed in 10 years. Now, we've learned that the shareholders have decided to re-elect the Apple board. As MacNN points out, I don't think this is a blatant attempt to re-consider Jobs' position as CEO (don't worry, the blogosphere will soon erupt with exactly that accusation), but more of a confidence-builder for investors and customers: Yes, we have a backup plan in place should Steve become unable to ...
