Apple faces credibility crisis over Jobs' health

From CNET News.com: Apple may have wanted to protect Steve Jobs' privacy with the way it chose to address his health. But the end result is a credibility problem that will not go away easily.

After initially reassuring the public that Jobs' health issues were real, but not all that serious, Apple's statement Wednesday that his problems had grown "more complex" outraged many investors and corporate governance experts. Jobs will remain Apple's CEO, but he is turning the responsibility for day-to-day operations over to COO Tim Cook until the end of June to focus on his recovery.

Now that Jobs' health issues seem far more serious than Apple initially indicated on January 5, investors are not satisfied with the cryptic "more complex" explanation provided by Apple, and are publicly wondering if the company has been deceiving them all along.
