Steve Jobs is back in action, but this time wearing a belt

Still, there he is — upright and decidedly healthier-looking. Jobs had one more surprise for us all beyond his appearance: a belt.

Tech's biggest loser: Bill Gates

Microsoft's Bill Gates lost the most — at least on paper. His net worth dropped from $57 to $50 billion, not enough, however, to keep him from topping the list for the 16th year in a row.
