Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute in Memphis, Tenn, confirmed  on Monday that Apple CEO Steve Jobs had recieved a liver transplant earlier this year, confirming an unsourced report from the Wall Street Journal that was published this past weekend.

Jobs underwent a procedure in 2004 to combat a rare type of pancreatic cancer. Concerns about his continued health continued to surface over the next few years.  In January of this year he took a leave of absence, but is now reportedly back at work at Apple, at least part time, and reportedly continued to be involved in major strategic decisions.
