His health must be in bad shape - I really hope he recovers.
Hate Macs and everything non x86-64 stands for however Jobs is probably the only great man of the PC revolution that was still running things.

wtfWith a sharp selloff pummeling share prices throughout European banking sector this week, Apple's valuation is now strikingly equal to all 32 of the biggest euro zone banks combined...
For Apple, the accolade is just the latest in a growing string of financial related achievements. In addition to its back-and-forth battle with Exxon Mobile for the title of the most valuable company in the world, it was disclosed last month the the iPad maker's $76B in cash reserves recently surpassed the US government's own operating balance.
