Quote from: Steve JobsTo the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
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.
Steve

I'm 99% sure it's his health.
It probably is, as he's been on his third medical leave for some time now. I hope he's okay.
time to throw him out and buy a new steve jobs
iJobs
Totally sounds like his health. If anyone on Earth could be augmented like Deus Ex, it would be Jobs.
So I guess he is just laying back in his mansion wishing that he could play flash games on his Ipad 2 ;D
Steve Jobs doesn't live in a mansion and I question his taste if he wants to play Flash games on his iPad!

I question his taste if he actually owns an iPad.

Because it isn't as popular as Mac or Winblows. I am perfectly happy with it not being popular, so don't spread the word about viruses. :) lol
I don't care much about OS Wars anymore, as the only real difference between Win/Mac and Linux is most of Linux distros are Opensource..
It's his health. Wikileaks dropped info about cancer from him a while back.
Your iLeader breaks? Time to buy a new one.
Everyone knew he had cancer, we just didn't know how severe it was and if it was going to impede his work. Tim Cook has basically been acting CEO for a while now, anyway.
Don't worry, I'll be the next Mr. the Jobs, and I'll make a company called Pear and it'll be sooooooooooo cool

I would buy from a company called Pear.
Name all your operating systems after animals in the Canis genus, and name your web browser 'Game Hunt'. I can see the your OS's now:
Wolf (professional - Dire Wolf)
Dingo
Domestic
Jackal (professional - Golden Jackal)
Coyote
Ethiopian Wolf (working title)

How the fuck do you know that man
Because they use them in every show they make, Penelope in The Amanda Show had one.
Wtf? I sue them. They stole my idea. Whatever, I'll make a newer company called "Fruit." It's like encompassing all of those.

christ almighty kill it with fire.
I'm always late to the party now :(
I bet all the chips are gone too.
edit: Oh yeah, this isn't in the sewers. I don't think Jobs leaving is going to affect the company as much as it might seem. I doubt he'd leave his company in less-than-capable hands.
this just in
he's dead!
