Apple Inc. Chief Executive, Steve Jobs has taken medical leave from the company. A doctor has quoted that Jobs is seriously ill and he might live for only six more weeks. The conclusion was drawn by the doctor after analyzing a recent photograph of jobs. The photograph was taken by tabloid while following Jobs to the Stanford Cancer Center at Palo Alto in California.

He had taken the medical leave last month and it was the third time in seven years that he has taken a leave for health reasons.

No reaction from Apple Inc. has been reported till late on Thursday night. At present, Apple is very secretive and assertive with everything.

The medical history of Steve Jobs is not supportive too. In 2004 he had undergone surgery for pancreatic cancer and in 2009, he underwent a liver transplant.

The news of his sickness has left the fans worried. Director of Chennai-based Next Wave Multimedia, P R Rajendran, says that Job is his hero and his contribution to tech world is immense.

Amit Agarwal, a renowned tech blogger says that the six weeks figure was given by looking at just the photograph and it cannot be considered as credible information.

Steve Jobs, 55, is a high-tech visionary who has contributed to Apple’s turbulent history.
