It took a five-month break from work and a new liver, but Steve Jobs has finally returned to Apple. The company today confirmed rumors that its co-founder and default figurehead was back at work in Cupertino, right on schedule.

"Steve is back to work," Apple spokesman Steve Dowling told The New York Times. "He is currently at Apple a few days a week and working from home the remaining days." In typical Apple fashion, the company is saying little more about the matter. Dowling added simply, "We're very glad to have him back."

News about Jobs's recent liver transplant was actually confirmed by the Tennessee hospital that preformed the procedure, rather than by Apple itself.
