And, of course, the first thing some company officials are pondering is how to pair his triumphant return with a product, ‘Hey, wheel out the sick guy so we can pimp our new iPhone.’ How sweet.

Anyway, according to the WSJ, Jobs might publicly appear at Apple’s annual software developers’ conference next week in San Francisco. It’s unclear what his return means. It’s doubtful he will take back day-to-day operations. Apple, despite earlier concerns, has been running smoothly, especially from an investor perspective where its “shares have risen 68% since Mr. Jobs announced his leave Jan. 14, compared with a 24% increase in the Nasdaq Composite Index over that period.”

Medstory was founded by Dr. Rappaport and a company called Neutron Data, a developer of artificial intelligence software. Rappaport will become the new general manager of the Health Solutions Group.
