Apple co-founder Steve Jobs will be taking a medical leave until the end of June.

With the pending loss of their wunderkind founder and leader, Apple's stock plunged 7%.

Jobs said that he would remain with Apple despite the problem, and that he had already begun a "relatively simple and straightforward" treatment which is "more than I wanted to say, and all that I am going to say."
