Sad news but I wish him all the best. Here's to Tim Cook carrying the torch.
 
Wow

What can I say, an amazing career and I hope his time now will be spent with his family and focusing on his health.
 
There is a man leaving through the big door with the forehead high. :)

Steve Jobs, you are a hero.
 
damn... that was a little bit unexpected... I think Apple will do just fine though.
 
So the day is here. I think it's overdue, but that's just me.


Cook seems like a good guy, maybe he can shift the direction a bit.
 
Obviously a health issue, and a serious one. Hopefully his health improves, though rumor suggests otherwise.

Steve Jobs has been an instrumental figure at Apple from the very beginning - Apple's basic philosophy is his more than anyone else's. It will be interesting to see where we go from here. Many other people have been at Apple for many years though, so I don't see any fundamental changes happening in the forseeable future.
 
Good health and all the best to Steve. God Bless. Hope he continues to suggest product ideas, too.
 
We have reached the end of the Steve Jobs era. Congratulations on all of your success and please focus on your health. Tim Cook will get the job done.

Sad day indeed. :(
 
very clever in terms of stocks, because inevitably they will fall but as apple are at their peak, its the best time to do it.... its better to accounce when youre at the top then when youre on the way down
 
So, apple share is going to fall tomorrow?

Time to see how many idiots sell apple stocks.

apple Share is going to go much higher if they release iPhones on Sprint, Verizon and AT&T this Fall.
 
Just stopped freaking out and read his letter... sounds like he'll still be involved in some ways... just not the CEO. I hope so. He does not have to be the boss to help drive the ship, but his influence is critical.

Daaaaamn ;((((((
 
Sad day

This is a truly sad day. Thanks, Steve, for everything you've done to transform part of our world. Best wishes for good health as you move forward in a different role.
 
TIme to dump the stock, Apple without steve's vision is ultimately going to die...
 
Looks like I'll be buying a crap-ton of AAPL stock tomorrow.

Seriously, Apple will be fine...They've been expecting this for some time, and the product pipeline is in place for the next 5 years. And Steve isn't going anywhere if we know him at all...
