Steve jobs resigns
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Start selling Apple stocks.
The company as we know it is over.
Steve Jobs is Apple. Without his leadership, Apple is nothing.
Just look back into history to see what happened when he's not involved in the day-to-day business. Apple was cranking out junk.
His liver transplant must have did him in. I took care of many patients with liver transplant. They're never the same after the transplant.

This poses the question; without him, will Apple crumble?
...sorry, that was insensitive of me. Really, really insensitive. In all seriousness, though, this is a dreadful shame, and things will, for better or worse, change permanently from now on. As a proud iPad user, they'd better not go downhill (:D) bit I could see why they might.
Are people going to create a thread on here everytime something happens in the news? You didn't even tell us your opinion you just posted the story.

"Oh, in case you got covered in that repulsion gel, here's some advice the lab boys gave me: DO NOT get covered in the repulsion gel."
Yet it served as the springboard for the opinions of others. It's called Off-Topic for a reason, there aren't any specific guidelines for "news-type" threads.
Now with 100% more inline comments!
Hmm... I wonder what Tim Cook would do as CEO?

That's why I don't buy Apple products.
Once the company goes under, there will be no support for the products.
And if the company is defined by one person, that's a really bad sign.
No one is immortal.

Don't have something constructive to post...don't post. Simple as that.
This was the reason I posted it.
Although Apple may not go entirely downhill as Tim Cook was basically running the company on a day to day basis whilst Jobs was off for illness.

Don't underestimate the power of Steve Jobs.
Tim may "seem" that he's running the show, but the Emperor is the real ruler. Just talk to Darth Vader as who's the boss.
Also look at who's really running Russia. Who ever thinks that Putin is not the real boss is an idiot.

Look at this post now. I predicted Jobs' demise months ago.
