Quote:
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.

I feel sorry for him. He's going to seem so foolish now, what with his last name being Jobs and him not having one.

So, it'd probably be in bad taste for me to send a condolences card("Sorry the place you work for is going under") and a bunch of applications to a guy I know who works in an Apple store, right?

Sounds like the best plan to me.

Money never helps when it comes to affording medical treatment.

Good, maybe the new guy will realize the value in opening up their OS so we can install it on our own hardware.

It's pretty useless to the people you leave behind, too.

Can't wait to see their stock prices plummet. I mean, look at the hits it took when he was just getting treatment. Now he's out of the picture all together? Yaay no more smug iPhone users.

Your wife should probably pay more attention to the news.

Yup, stocks are sure plummeting when they're up on the day by ~2.6%.

Jobs hasn't been running Apple for the past six months, during which the company recorded it's best fiscal quarter ever.

Love all the Apple hate around here. It's really, really funny.

To be fair, some of us don't really hate Apple. We've just had bad experiences with Apple users. Smiley: tongue




My only real opinion on Apple itself is that its products are overpriced. Like Alienware.

Poking fun at a ridiculous (though successful) company isn't hatred so much as a sign of internet boredom.
