Scott and all, This is from Yahoo: biz.yahoo.com >> Wednesday April 15, 11:07 pm Eastern Time Oracle's Ellison says Apple's Jobs "torn" about staying REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 15 (Reuters) - Oracle Corp.(ORCL - news) Chief Executive and Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL - news) board member Larry Ellison said Wednesday that Steve Jobs, Apple interim CEO, is ''torn'' about staying on at the computer maker. ''Steve doesn't really want to stay,'' Ellison told reporters at an Oracle news conference in Redwood Shores, Calif. ''On the other hand, he loves Apple.'' Asked if Apple was interviewing candidates to find a permanent chief executive, Ellison said he was, ''not looking very hard.'' Jobs, Apple's founder, has been serving as a temporary chief since July when the previous CEO, Gilbert Amelio, was fired. Apple's board has asked Jobs to stay on permanently, but he has so far declined. In addition to Apple, Jobs is the CEO of Pixar Animation Studios Inc., a cartoon studio. ''He's torn between his love for Pixar and he has a young family,'' Ellison said. ''The gratitude (for his performance at Apple) has been overwhelming.'' Ellison noted that Apple's stock price has doubled and the company has reported two quarters of profits since Jobs took over at the struggling computer maker. << Sam
