"But now that we have the Steve Jobs news, the reporting date makes a whole lot of sense. Moreover, the fact that Apple chose to release its earnings right after a 3-day weekend in order to give investors time to soak in the news of Jobs' indefinite departure lends support to the idea that Steve Jobs has been planing to take a leave for a very long time. At a minimum, plans must have been drawn at least since mid-December and maybe even earlier."

I'd be surprised to learn it wasn't carefully planned and orchestrated.
+1. Steve Jobs plans everything years in advance - he probably planned for getting his cancer two years before it happened. There's no way he walked away from Apple on a moment's notice.
