Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs is joking about the speculation on his health.
Jobs kicked off an Apple event in San Francisco on Tuesday by flashing a message on a screen that "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."

Jobs played off the famous Mark Twain quote in referring to obituary preparedness on him that was accidentally posted by Bloomberg News and then retracted. News outlets regularly prepare obituary material on famous people.

Questions about Jobs' health swirled after he appeared gaunt at a recent Apple event. Apple has since said Jobs, 53, a survivor of pancreatic cancer, suffered from a bug and is better.
