Wow.

 

[Danny Boy]

Have to assume his health has taken a turn for the worst.

Love him or hate him, you have to admit he has pushed technology forward in his career.

I wish him the best.

Could you have put up a more credible link? I had to read it on a few news websites to believe it. Anyway, what Danny Boy said.

 

[trojanchick99]

I really shouldn't be this upset about the CEO of a technology company resigning. But damn, I'm pretty sad. I think it does have to do with the assumption that his health has declined again.

Zerohedge are like Shakira's hips, they don't lie.

well-played line.

From CNN:

"Apple shares today traded up $2.58 to close at $376.18 per share. As of 6:53pm, it already had lost $22.18 per share, or 5.9% of its value."

Not good news. Stay well, Steve Jobs.

This is definitely depressing news. Here's hoping it's more a precautionary measure rather than a sign of anything impending.

He has very serious health (cancer) issues.

that is what this is about.

 

[INDY500]

I can remember reading about Steve Jobs and the upstart Macintosh in Rolling Stone magazine in the early 80's. His partner Steve Wozniak put on the US Festival. My generations Woodstock (an epic set by U2 being a highlight).

These guys are modern day Henry Fords responsible for making many, many people prosperous.

Best wishes to Steve Jobs.

[financeguy]

Does anyone here work in the Valley or have Valley connections? Wanna spill the beans on Jobs or is it too early?

 

[U2isthebest]

He has very serious health (cancer) issues.

that is what this is about.

True, but I know he's had that particular issue for years now in varying degrees of severity. It seems, as of late, anyway, that he's been in fairly decent health. I'm just hoping it didn't turn extremely grave so quickly.

 

[BonosSaint]

A shame.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

While I certainly hope he lives a long and prosperous life from here on out... I hate apple and can only hope that this begins the end of their sheepish reign that is long overdue.

I am shocked. I knew this would be happening someday, did not expect it soon enough. What a great man, a "master showman" when it came to presenting the latest Apple products. Hope he now has time to take care of himself. Apple will not be the same, but it's a new chapter in the company's history.

 

[cobl04]

Maybe he needs a new iLiver.

 

[Canadiens1131]

He's battled cancer on and off for what seems like a while now. I hope he pulls through, but he has made appearances looking pretty sickly before and his weight has been all over the place in prior public appearances.

For those who demeans Apple as a transformative force in the technology industry: you're fucking wrong.

to this

 

[domo-kun]

Probably taking a wise decision there , wish him all the best as well.
I still he is behind some extraordinary technology. Unlike some others. I like how simple they can make things.

 

[lemonfly]

If it's health issues (seems more than likely) it's very sad. Never easy being sick in the public eye with the whole world speculating on long you've got left (remember poor Freddie Mercury). I'm not an Apple fanboy, but there's no denying Job's visionary genius. He let smart innovative people be smart and innovating. He gave us Pixar. He still had another 15 years of greatness in him, but it seems he's been cut down in his relative prime.

Life in this world is not long for any of us.

 

[Gone95]

I expect a general drop in quality, but as long as he stays at least somewhat involved it shouldn't get too bad.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

All the best to him

I don't demean Apple at all. I own my share of their products.

But being honest they have had winners and losers.

as a business, I wish I would have bought Apple stock instead of MS and Intel 20 years ago.

 

[corianderstem]

What the hell is that thing?
