Steve Jobs Resigns as CEO of Apple

[ShadowsfeaR]

Hes going to stay chairman. His health has been detrimental to him so I believe this is why.

Press release:

August 24, 2011–To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

That's unfortunate. At least he knows when to quit for his own health.

EDIT: He's remaining chairman

He's going to be chairman, that way he can at least voice himself (and damn well be listened to).

learn to spell before you go insulting entire races


wait. "we shouldn't have asians have the CEO now" .. what does that even mean? they're giving the CEO to asians? so this Tim Cook fellow is being handed over to China or something? Kim Jong-Il's butt buddy in north korea, maybe?
