Apple CEO Steve Jobs was too ill to attend a California town council meeting last night over the fate of a historic home he owns in Woodside, the San Jose Mercury News reports. “I don't think he would be strong enough if we were here until 1 am, and I think there's a strong possibility of that,” said Jobs' lawyer, who represented him at the meeting. Jobs seeks to demolish the 14-bedroom structure and rebuild, but has been stymied by preservationists. (More Steve Jobs stories.)
