"User" Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 http://money.cnn.com/2011/08/24/technology/steve_jobs_resigns/index.htm ""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," Predictably shares of Apple dropped 5% because they were briefly halted in after-hours trading as Apple announced its leadership change. Their COO has taken over. Thoughts? Beginning of a possible long term decline for Apple? Like Jack Layton (Canadian leader of the Opposition in our Federal government) who died due to cancer he will be very difficult to replace.

Guest Mr. Nintendo Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Sucks for Apple to not have him now that with him gone, their stocks will plummet and...well, they'll sell even more crappy products that I'm sure Steve Jobs wouldn't like or would want to improve on. What's next? Gabe Newell resigns from Valve Software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psygonis Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Tim Cook is an able guy that is fit for the job. He'll have to earn the same "aura" that Jobs kinda always had, but I'm sure he'll do well. Jobs left his post but got named President of the Administration Council so he'll carry on influencing Apple's course for some time I believe.

Steve Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 At least Tim is a good dude and replacement. Steve Balmer, on the other hand, is an asshole and loves to point fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
