Steve Jobs is Sick

What's going to Apple in the eventuality of Steve Jobs' death? (As we all know, we all die.) Is the company going to be able to continue to churn out new, interesting, trailblazing products and generate oodles of revenue? Compared to a cult, when the leader dies, the movement usually, also dies. A tech company with hundreds if not thousands of cool engineers and hundreds of lawyers and managers is definitely not the same as a religious cult, yet many believe that when Steve Jobs is gone, the company he helped start and resurrect may also go the way of the dodo. Nobody can be certain of course, but great uncertainty will exist for sure.

Just today Steve Jobs was granted a medical leave of absence. Will he be back, or will be lose his battle with sickness sooner than investors would like?
