Steve Jobs Resigns as CEO of Apple | Business Wire

yeah it was expected

I thought he may have passed away already and that they were just keeping it quiet until they got things sorted

with the lack of appearances; his biography coming out; etc etc

its going to be a major hit to Apple to lose such a great leader

a tribute to Mr. Jobs

As an icon in the computer world, let's hope he sticks around for awhile.

To his health and retirement. He really helped to push the consumer tech boundary.

Also, to hoping the apple gets less dickish.

He'll be dead within the year.

Must be from all the HP Touchpad sales :troll:

Guess this also explains all the screaming and crying I hear coming from the Starbucks down the block.

I was surpised when he didn't retire years ago.

man steve jobs is BALLIN

He probably won't be able to enjoy any of that money.

Sweet 5% drop in afterhours lets see what happens at market open.

F*ck...

This shouldn't put much of a dent in Apple but we'll see tomorrow.

^Well, actually might be a good buying opportunity :)

Last time I added more stock to my portfolio was when he announced he was going on medical leave and the stock dropped.

you know the request to stay on in some form with Apple is just damage control for the expected/suspected crash in share value

Seems like Steve Jobs took the perfect time to leave,

With Apple selling stronger than ever, they have reported record high quarterly earnings without any new product release or no holiday boost.

And within a month the next iPhone will be out to boost their sales even more.

Steve Jobs planned everything perfectly for his leave, and for new acting CEO to come in at perfect times.

Steve Jobs changed the technology world and I hope he stays strong and continue to watch Apple grow for many years.

He changed shit all.. his engineers and people that work for him did everything. They deserve all the credit. He's just a face for the company, sure he was quite involved with the company wayy back when he started apple. But then he left the company when it went downhill then rejoined when it started doing well like wtf.

:seriously:
I'm no apple fanboy, i much prefer PCs, but he was definitely a good leader and had the vision it took to get apple to where it is today.

lol i just got banned from Engadget because I said their actions displayed/confirmed a Bias towards Apple and boom banned

(they closed commenting and upon reopening were deleting messages that were anti-apple)

Gizmodo is sponsored by Blackberry; so spam there!

probably nothing much.... tim cook showed he can run the company pretty well while jobs was gone
