FYL eh?

We will miss you.

finnns2000 · Aug 24, 2011, 05:43 PM

This only means one thing... I am speechless for the first time in a long time. Too sad for tears... if that makes sense.

Justinf79 · Aug 24, 2011, 05:43 PM

Well Mr. Jobs, you did a great job leading Apple into the 21st century. (biggest comeback in corporate history)

CFreymarc · Aug 24, 2011, 05:43 PM

Short sell fever on Apple stock!

Honestly, I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. If you create at least one major industry shift in your career it is great. Thus guy carved a whole new river that will be traveled on for generations.

Raptura · Aug 24, 2011, 05:43 PM

Uh oh.. as soon as I heard that I was thinking something must bad have happened in regards to his health.. I hope he's okay.

This. The stock will recover, but his health is more important.

jonnysods · Aug 24, 2011, 05:43 PM

Wow.

They have done a good job getting prepared for this. I don't think it will adversely affect the company.

Liquinn · Aug 24, 2011, 05:43 PM

Wtfff, I'm sad

kiantech · Aug 24, 2011, 05:43 PM

crap, I knew I should have sold my stock at $400

whooleytoo · Aug 24, 2011, 05:43 PM

So sad, hope it's more precautionary.

Gregintosh · Aug 24, 2011, 05:43 PM

I wonder if this means his health is getting much worse. Maybe he figured it'd be better to implement succession while he is alive (with the perception of it being organized and collected) than shock the world and the markets if he were to die while holding the position.

I hope that he is fine though and that even as Chairman of the Board only he will still lay out his visions and help make sure that products are designed and built to high quality standards we all know and love.

MiWall81 · Aug 24, 2011, 05:44 PM

He was "The Man...!" Thanks for cool things Steve!

John.B · Aug 24, 2011, 05:44 PM

Wow!

iRobby · Aug 24, 2011, 05:44 PM

What's going to happen to Apple? Does this mean no more iPhones or iPads?

daneoni · 06:10 PM

Whoa. 'ish just got real.

winston1236 · Aug 24, 2011, 05:44 PM

WHAT?!

petvas · Aug 24, 2011, 05:44 PM

I was shocked to read the news

I hope Steve stays with us for a long long time.

Thank you for everything Steve.

Not expecting this at all.. It's a sad day

Android lovers will miss you and your competitive spirit.

NateBiggity · Aug 24, 2011, 05:44 PM

It's not like he's completely gone. He's pulling a "Bill Gates".
