Drats! The head honcho of Apple, Steve Jobs, is sick and has filed an indefinite leave of absence from Apple. We he had a hiatus in 2009 for liver problems, Apple’s stock plummeted.

Here’s an e-mail of Steve declaring his leave and entrusts Apple’s day-to-day operations to Tim Cook, Apple COO.

Here’s Steve’s e-mail:

Team,

At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health. I will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company.

I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for all of Apple’s day to day operations. I have great confidence that Tim and the rest of the executive management team will do a terrific job executing the exciting plans we have in place for 2011.

I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can. In the meantime, my family and I would deeply appreciate respect for our privacy.

Steve

Get well soon, Steve. Here’s wishing you full recovery!
