It's pretty creepy how many earthquakes there were in the past couple days.
The earth was upset about something that's for sure. It's probably because the earth knew about Steve resignation early.
Got a tip for us?

id like to think my purchase of an iPad 2 today had something to do with this?!
all the best Steve, you have made me an Apple addict and i cannot thank you enough for it.
Tim will do a great job, it's not as if Steve is completely out of the picture.

Again, just mindless and vindictive slander coming from you without any evidence to back up your comments.
Sad to say
I say this with a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, and a tear in my eye. I have a great admiration for Steve Jobs and what he has done. I wish him only the best. But we will be hearing of his death in the next 2-4 weeks. Mark my words. And it will be a very sad day for all of us.

He's on camera talking about Apple.
When's the last time Steve has made anything about his personal life public? How often does he appear on national news programs or anything like that? Never.
He's a VERY private man when it comes to his personal life. You obviously know nothing about him.
Thank you Steve for dragging the IT industry kicking and screaming where it didn't want to go.
It's scary to think how far backwards we'd be without your efforts. Remove the Mac, the iMac, the iPod, iTunes, iPhone and iPad from history... God only knows, we'd probably have cell phones with DOS on them!!
Tim, well done, mate. Very optimistic about you as CEO.
Agreed, At the very least I have to give credit to Apple for helping keep retard-friendly 'features' out of Windows.
Unfortunately not even Apple can contain the tide of stupidity, it is far too large for them to handle.
Why would say that at a time like this?
Don't you have any compassion for the man?
Think of everything he's done and accomplished and how he has changed the industry...

Yes, I have compassion.. just as much compassion as Steve Jobs has for me.
I'll let you figure that out.
No CEO donates privately.
They are very public about it because it helps their company's image, and helps drive sales. The only conclusion is he did NOT donate in any significant amount.
Apple makes the biggest profits in the industry by a huge margin, Acer is losing money, HP is leaving the PC business completely. Somehow I think Apple must be doing something right.
Taking a shot at someone because of a possibly fatal illness is also "not cool".
Perhaps if you'd have done 1/4 of what Steve Jobs has done in his life, he might have heard about you.
Go troll elsewhere.
So for the average person they don't deserve compassion unless they are famous and billionaires? Why only have compassion for rich people, hmm?
You have no evidence to support that.
This isn't about image. Steve has never cared about that. He's not the type of person to be completely arrogant and flaunt his charity giving around. You can tell that by just listening to him speak.
Read the headline again,
Steve Jobs Resigns as Apple CEO, Will Stay On As Chairman, Tim Cook New CEO
He hasn't died, he's just not the CEO of Apple anymore.
And perhaps cancer research is overfunded relative to the amount we spent researching other diseases.
What if Jobs had put his entire fortune into research for heart disease, dementia or ALS and then been diagnosed with a terminal cancer? Or AIDs? Or any of a myriad of diseases that kill? Would you, because of some personal bias, be sniggering because he chose to support a cause other than yours?
Though members of my family have died of and survived cancer, I tend to think other medical research that is just as valuable is underfunded while cancer research gets the lion's share of research dollars.
People walk, run, race, dance, stand and do countless other things (such as wear yellow wristbands or buy pink ribbons, pink shoes, pink sports jerseys, pink lemonade and pretty much anything else) to raise money for a cure for cancer. I estimate that 6 to 8 out of every 10 medical-related fundraisers I hear of are cancer-related. Given that, are you really going to cry poor for cancer research?
