Very sad news, indeed. I wish him all the best. I am happy, however, that he'll be continuing on as Chairman of the Board; he'll no doubt still have a lot of influence on the company as long as he's still around.
Got a tip for us?

A great man is slowly dying and all you are concerned about is your falling stock prices...shame on you.
Thank you Steve for an exciting 35 year ride, from Apple I to iPad via NeXT and Pixar it has been anything but boring. (Even through the years I wandered through the Windows wilderness).
Also, all the best Tim!

Wow, definitely the biggest shock I've had in a while. I didn't think this day would come so soon.
... Be well, Steve.
A pretty frightening future. We already had a "Dark Ages" of computing. No need for another one.
Steve is almost single handedly responsible for the level of technology we use today, on a daily basis. I hope in this new position he's able to have less stress and more recuperation.
He's still a key figure on the Apple board - and you can bet that while Tim Cook is the Head Honcho, anything Steve says will still be taken very, very seriously. He's no longer the CEO; it hardly means his influence in the company is gone.

Perspective.
a) he is not dead, he's stepped down
What that means as far as his health is anyone's GUESS... and until something is stated for fact - there's no need to get over-melodomatic. What will happen will happen when it happens
b) anyone posting things like "never forget" should have their head examined for comparing Steve stepping down to something like 9/11 and the holocaust where thousands/millions of lives were lost.
In other words - some people should think before they post/click "submit reply"
