Wooow, thats a major surprise. I cant imagine that much changing but wow. Go PC's i guess?

 

[ben850]

Not really sure what to think.

Well, I wish the best of health for Mr. Jobbs.

However, I don't see him as the kind of leader that would put a strong successor for his post as CEO in his place, perhaps in part do to his ego, but certainly in part because of his overbearing nature that he is reported to have within the company (based on a number of case studies I have read). Unless the board of directors makes a strong decision for his successor, not some puppet, but a real strong leader... Apple will collapse with an unclear vision of how to proceed.

Speculation is that he is terminal with cancer. I'm not an Apple fan, but I've bought numerous apple products as gifts over the years. They have always brought a smile to the recipients face.
I hope the speculation is false. Regardless of my personal opinion of Apple, I can't deny the overwhelming impact he has had on the tech sector. For good or bad, he is a force that will be missed.

And the Apple bashers will come in 3....2....1!

I hope he'll still give keynotes.

I bet apple stock drops 30% tomorrow.

 

[sunflier]

No WAY!! A friend of mine, who is an Apple fanboy, and I were talking about one day when Jobs steps down due to health reasons earlier today. What a freakish coincidence.

 

[gclambert]

Wow! Didn't see that coming.

 

[Dyseman]

Hope Apple doesn't sue him for leaving.

I hope the guys is okay, never wish anyone else harm. However as for the company... it's finally the beginning of the end. Thankfully. I hope it makes all of the wrong moves and finally the fad ends and everyone accepts open platforms instead. What they represent is a step back in evolution to the technical equivalent of slavery.

I hope for his health and happiness, but I hope Apple eats some for there actions towards all other major competitors in the phone market especially.

 

[Marco925]

He's running the company wrong!

 

[Hellbound]

To hell with Apple... But I do wish Steve Jobs the best.

 

[Guest]

I know he has bad health, but since Apple has like more money than the US government, Jobs must have a nice retirement check? Or how that works? I got 60 years until I retire

 

[The Greater Good]

YAY!

 

[hoomanium]

It doesn't matter if he is the CEO, chairman, or just a simple employee. What matters is he always be Steve Jobs and we all love him.

All the best Steve.

O HAPPY DAYS!

Now we can see what Apple can REALLY do.

 

[del35]

It will be nice not to see his face in the news as frequently.

 

[koga73]
