In mid-January, Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs sent an email to staff in which he said he was taking a leave of absense to "take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health." In the message, he said that his leave would last until the end of June.

Now the end of June is approaching. While Jobs has reportedly been seen on the Apple campus, he did not make a hoped-for appearance at the World Wide Developers Conference at the beginning of the month. Apple has not commented on his current health or plans, beyond saying that he remains deeply involved in decision making.

A related prediction that Jobs will step down as Apple CEO by the end of 2009 now has a community consensus of just 33%.

Prediction: Steve Jobs publicly returns to a regular working schedule at Apple headquarters on or before June 30, 2009. There must be an official confirmation from Apple, in the form of a press release, or comment/statement by an Apple official described in a news report. A delay or ambiguous message from Apple about his working status will render a negative judgment.
