Thanks for everything Jobs, take care of your health.

Health: Not good enough to handle the most stressful job as the CEO of a huge company as well as it should be handled. But then there are plenty of people in the world whose health is good enough to let them lead happy lives but not good enough to handle a stressful job like that. I very much hope he is one of them.
ROFL.
Do you think we're *that* stupid?
Cut the **** and write a comment that is actually worthy of this news.
There have already been a few members who have used even a thread like this as their hater play-thing. Don't be counted among them.
Thanks Steve
What an amazing visionary! A man that has changed the face of technology on multiple fronts, several times. I agree with previous posts that his influence will not go unfelt as a result of this transition, rather, he will now be more free to oversee and guide Apple without having to deal with the minutae of daily operations. I can only hope he gets to spend more time with his family and begin to enjoy the fruits of all his hard years of work creating the most profitable, enigmatic, and revolutionary technology company in history. Thanks Steve!

Consultant?? Didn't you read, he's going to be Chairman of the Board of Directors
Chairman role
Truly, a sad day. He is a visonary, a real leader, and an inspiring businessman. Unfortunately with a prior diagnosis of pancreatic cancer this was almost inevitable. I'm sorry to say it, but for those holding out hope that his condition isn't too serious because of his Chairman role/continued employment, that's more likely to be due to the tax implications on stock sales/options were he to fully resign from the company and depart the Board.

I think he really has to die before that will be allowed.
And then even then, his rath from beyond the grave....its a problem
I can't help thinking there will be some even more devastating news in the not too distant future, though I sincerely hope not.
Best Wishes to Steve, his family and friends and
Thanks for the ride.

Lets hope Cook is as up to the task at Jobs was. He's got some mighty large shoes to fill.. good luck Tim!
I can't imagine that anyone making decisions on Apple stock hasn't fully taken into account the probability of Steve Jobs becoming unable to actively resume a traditional CEO position. Nothing in today's announcement is likely to affect rational decision-makers, and emotional individual traders will react just as irrationally regardless of when an announcement is made. Apple has done a fine job of preparing the market for this day, and in a relatively short time the company's stock will once again trade as a function of reasonable expectations about Apple's future earnings stream.
(In any event the timing of these sorts of announcements is not entirely a matter of company discretion. Once the decision has been made to resign and communicated--however informally--to a board member or to another officer of the company, a public announcement on Form 8-K must be filed within four business days. While Jobs could, of course, have deferred his decision, once he shared it with the company the clock started ticking.)
Me too!
Take that money you have set aside for your next Apple product, and put it in AAPL tomororw when it drops.... Then in a week or two when it recovers you will have 3 TIMES AS MUCH $$$$Jeeze man if I had known Steve's recent most stevenote would be his last I would've showed up to pay my respects.
It's been good Steve. My personal and professional life runs on your products, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
