Team,
At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health. I will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company.
I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for all of Apple’s day to day operations. I have great confidence that Tim and the rest of the executive management team will do a terrific job executing the exciting plans we have in place for 2011.
I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can. In the meantime, my family and I would deeply appreciate respect for our privacy.
Steve

Apple is seeking help from Federal Government to stop iPhone jailbreak & unlock. It was back in July 2010 that it became legal to jailbreak iPhone but now Apple seems to be gearing up to stop iPhone unlock and jailbreak. According to NBC, Apple has told Copyrights Office that:
“Current jailbreak technologies now in widespread use utilize unauthorized modifications to the copyrighted bootloader and operating system, resulting in the infringement of the copyrights in those programs.”
It will be interesting to see if Apple goes Sony’s way and files lawsuits against any of iPhone hackers.
