Steve Jobs Resigns as Apple CEO

[Dooger]

Just saw this on CNN. Was not expecting that at all today. Down, down, down will go all my stock. As if the floundering economy wasn't hurting my stock enough.

FYL eh?

 

[jbg232]

We will miss you.

 

[finnns2000]

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

 

[ImNoSuperMan]

No more stevenotes

 

[Justinf79]

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

 

[CFreymarc]

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]

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.

 

[Moyank24]

I hope his health is not failing him.

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

 

[jonnysods]

Wow.

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

 

[Liquinn]

Wtfff, I'm sad

 

[kiantech]

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

 

[whooleytoo]

So sad, hope it's more precautionary.

 

[Gregintosh]

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.

 

[roadbloc]

Kbai.

 

[Antoni Nygaard]

sad to hear that. My heart just started beated faster when i read this

 

[allmanbrother]

Best of luck to Steve and I hope he continues to make contributions to the company.

 

[MiWall81]

Ohhh Steve-O...

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

 

[John.B]

Wow!

 

[iRobby]

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

 

[daneoni]

Whoa. 'ish just got real.

 

[winston1236]

WHAT?!

 

[petvas]

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

 

[aohus]

Android lovers will miss you and your competitive spirit.

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