MERGED: All about Apple's Steve Jobs

[junmar4]

Here is a copy of his resignation letter.

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.



Steve

Huh! He resigned. Wala lagi siya nag text naku ... Tsk! TSk!

I just hope this resignation has got nothing to do with his health. He really hasn't been looking that well lately. And though he leaves Apple in very good shape, this is still pretty big. Steve Jobs is not only a true visionary, he was Apple's best salesman.

All the best Steve. Thanks for all the cool toys.

Apple is a public company so it is not owned by him but the shareholders. I do believe he has shares on the company and that will remain unless he decides to sell them in the future.
