Recent internet rumours that Jobs had suffered a heart attack  sent Apple shares down, to their lowest point in a year.

At the latest Apple special event, Jobs stood in front of a giant screen bearing the words: "110/70 - Steve's blood pressure".

Jobs pointed out that the reading was reassuringly normal but quipped that any questions about the state of his health would cause his blood pressure to soar. "This is all we're going to talk about Steve's health today. If you want to see this number go higher, just ask him one question," he said, to laughter from the assembled audience.
