Obviously, many of the questions that shareholders will be slinging at Apple’s executives on Wednesday, when the meeting takes place, pretty much write themselves, particularly given Steve’s absence.

Steve Jobs has also not been spotted on IM for weeks, or so says a friend of Robert X. Cringely’s. Maybe it’s because the iPhone doesn’t have a very good AIM client yet. [Bloomberg]
