Steve Jobs resigns as Apple CEO

Good luck to him tbh. He's still got a very powerful team behind him as he always.

All the best to Steve Jobs.

And I'm sure Apple will be fine too.

I don't think I've ever given a damn about anyone I didn't know resigning from a company I've never worked at.

Until today.

Well this makes for a much nicer read than the thread in GD....

AmTechFox has hit the nail on the head!

Only because the vehement Apple haters know that their bull**** will be more severely moderated in here. So they'll troll the GD thread instead.

Also, has someone deactivated the swear filter?

Actually when Bill Gates quit there was a similar reaction. People were slating him for building a monopoly, IE6 etc. Though Bill Gates saw it coming and tempered it with a Napoleon Dynamite spoof video.

Hopefully this Tim Cook fella is up to scratch.

Well he's been pretty much the CEO for the last few years anyway.

I still don't. But I will be watching what happens with AAPL's stock this afternoon with interest. Possible buying opportunity.

Hes Steve Jobs Version 2 - i'm sure he will be fine. They were both always 100% on the same page from what a read.

and he still rents...would you believe.

You'd be daft to buy Apple stock now when Microsoft is investing so heavily into the core Apple markets of smart phones and tablets. Windows 8 is going to reinvent the tablet market once more.

Agreed.

Steve wouldn't have employed people without the same 'visions' as he has.

I was inevitable he was going t step down at some point.

Do you think they'll do an x-factor style show to replace him

Does this mean blu ray drives and HDMI ports in the near future?

*Crosses fingers but knows it's unlikely*

I am a big fan of apple products, and I'm sure Steve is a super nice guy, Do people go on about him because without him apple wouldn't be in the position they are in today ?
I do hope he has stepped down to chill and not for his medical condition getting the better of him tho

Just like they did with smartphones...

... oh wait!

I wouldn't trust someone who is anti-bluray to be honest !

don't know why customers like him so much , well unless they are also shareholders

the thing he's best at is milking the most money possible out of people for the excellent products that his designers create
