US President Barack Obama has met Silicon Valley bosses, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Apple's Steve Jobs and Google chief executive Eric Schmidt at a private get-together in California.
The bosses of Twitter, Yahoo and Oracle also attended the meeting with the president, who has set out to encourage American businesses to invest more money in innovation.
Apple's chief executive Steve Jobs was in attendance, despite media reports that his health had taken a turn for the worse.

He is currently on his third medical leave of absence from Apple since being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2004.
Thursday's meeting with the president was a private event, hosted by venture capitalist John Doerr.
