This week started off with quite a shock as Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced another medical leave. He will remain CEO of the company, but COO Tim Cook will once again take over the day-to-day operations.

Jobs received treatment for pancreatic cancer in 2004 and a liver transplant in 2009. Reportedly it is common to have periods of immune system trouble after a liver transplant.
On Tuesday Apple announced yet another record-setting quarter. The company had $6 billion in profits on $26.7 billion in revenue, more than 70 percent higher than last year’s numbers.

You can also go o View, View Options to choose which columns are present.
