Steve Jobs, the one-time wunderkind co-founder of Apple, says he's not ailing.
"As many of you know, I have been losing weight throughout 2008," the 53 year-old Jobs said Monday in a letter addressing the Apple community. "The reason has been a mystery to me and my doctors."
After cancelling a speaking gig and going for tests, Jobs reports "my doctors think they have found the cause -- a hormone imbalance that has been "robbing" me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy.
