Steve Jobs Still Involved in Apple, Still Expected to Return in June
Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook runs the day-to-day operations at Apple, these people say. But Mr. Jobs has continued to work on the company's most important strategies and products from home, they say. He regularly reviews products and product plans, and was particularly involved in the user interface of the new iPhone operating system that Apple unveiled last month, these people say.
Apple announced in January that Steve Jobs would take a medical leave of absence from the company until June and that Tim Cook would take over day-to-day operations.According to the Wall Street Journal's sources, Apple remains "much the same" as before Steve Jobs' departure and Jobs is still expected to return to Apple in June. Jobs reportedly did not respond to requests for comment but Apple spokesman Steve Dowling is quoted as saying "Steve continues to look forward to returning to Apple at the end of June."

And that is not from a "steve is my Messiah" standpoint, but rather just glad to see that he, as a human being, is still healthy.
And I don't blame him for still working many of the products and strategies. One does not just quit an awesome job like that cold turkey...
Having said that, I hope he retires from Apple soon. He won't, but I wish he did. I want change.
Breaking news: Nothing has changed.
Couldn't have said it better myself. He's basically working from home. I personally don't believe he's coming back, but wish him the best. Apple will be fine without him.

Interesting comment. I'm not sure what "change" needs to come to Apple, seeing as they're doing the best they've done in the past well... nearly 30 years! The improvements that Apple has experienced has been solely thanks to Steve Jobs returning to the company.
Yes, he is getting older, and yes, I think it would be good for him to retire on a high note, but I don't think that time is now. Apple's got some great things in the pipeline and as Steve slowly makes his transition out from Apple, they'll be sitting on top. Everyone will know that, despite his not being there anymore, Steve Jobs helped put Apple at the top of their game, and his work is finally done.

I of course don't know what Abstract was alluding to, but a lot of people believe that Apple is becoming increasingly arrogant (such as "you may not put apps that we haven't approved on your own iPod") and hope that they can be come a bit more "open".
