Have no fear, Apple fans. According to Valleywag tipsters, Steve Jobs remains among the living, albeit still skinny. He’s also taken to parking in handicap spaces, although it’s unknown if he has a proper sticker or not.

Jobs’s health has been a topic of concern this summer since a public appearance where he appeared thin, leading many to speculate that it’s another bout of the pancreatic cancer he had in 2003. One Valleywag tipster ran into him on the sidewalk near his Palo Alto home, calling him “healthy” but “very thin.” So, be our guest and have at this story with wild speculation and irresponsible rumor mongering.

Earlier this week, Apple’s Steve Jobs appeared at the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) to announce, among other things, the new, cheaper, and faster iPhone. But it wasn’t the hardware or software announcements that had many people buzzing — it was Jobs’ appearance.

Some fans raised concerns about his rather gaunt face and the way he didn’t quite fill out his typical attire (bluejeans and black turtleneck) the way he has at previous years’ conferences.

Jobs had a recent battle with pancreatic cancer, causing much of the worries, but according to Apple PR, there’s no reason for concern; Steve was just recovering from a “common bug” that left him a few pounds lighter than before. So, fear not, Jobs fans, your predictably-dressed leader is in fine shape — if desperately in need of a makeover. [Source: The Wall Street Journal]
