Steve Jobs Resigns as CEO

[Irock]

To 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.

[Irock]

It probably is, as he's been on his third medical leave for some time now. I hope he's okay.

[Moss.]

time to throw him out and buy a new steve jobs

[Kokowam]

iJobs

[Holkeye]

Totally sounds like his health. If anyone on Earth could be augmented like Deus Ex, it would be Jobs.

[DoctorTodd]

So I guess he is just laying back in his mansion wishing that he could play flash games on his Ipad 2   

[Irock]

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.

Your avatar is a Linux penguin.

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..

[Sophist]

It's his health. Wikileaks dropped info about cancer from him a while back.

Your iLeader breaks? Time to buy a new one.

[firerain]

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.

[Kokowam]

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)

Nickelodeon has you beat.

[Sophist]

How the fuck do you know that man

[Dwarra?]

Because they use them in every show they make, Penelope in The Amanda Show had one.

[Kokowam]

Wtf? I sue them. They stole my idea. Whatever, I'll make a newer company called "Fruit." It's like encompassing all of those.
