Steve Jobs receives liver transplant

Apple CEO Steve Jobs underwent a liver transplant operation about two months ago and is expected to return to work by the end of June, says eWeek.

Jobs, a pancreatic cancer survivor seen as the driving force behind development of the iPod, iPhone and other category-defining products from Apple, went on medical leave in January for an undisclosed condition.

A spokesman for Apple said: "Steve continues to look forward to returning to Apple at the end of June and there is nothing further to say."
