Steve Jobs resigns as Apple CEO, names Tim Cook as successor.

Haha... wow.
Well, as a PC fan, I'm pretty pleased about this.

As am I, but a lot of PC manufacturers look to Apple's innovations when designing their products. It should be interesting to see how a change in leadership affects the company. I figure it won't, much.. Mr. Cook has been at the helm of Apple since Jobs took medical leave a while back, and I highly doubt people will stop buying overpriced electronics just because of this.

You meant overpriced plastic/metal cases that hold electronics, right?

Hehehehe. XD

But this is interesting. How long did you say Cook's been running things again?

Since January this year I think. Since then they've released the iPad 2, Mac OSX Lion and the iCloud service, and recently surpassed ExxonMobil to become America's largest company. So yes, they're doing pretty well under Cook as CEO.

He's been pretty sick lately, with a liver transplant and complications from a partial pancreatectomy several years before that. I certainly don't blame him.

This reminds me, I need to get a new iPod.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Not for nothing, but isn't Tim the one who also tries to bring in price cuts for some of their newer products?

At least I think I hear things like that?

Well he left because he was really sick with whatever cancer he had.
I guess he was holding it for a long time, seeing as he died shortly after he retired.

Why is it that when people make a REALLY big deal over the death of a celebrity am I less inclined to care? I know that makes me sound like a jerkass, but godamn, the Facebook status updates just kept going all day. I mean, why bother, it's all over the news and the internet, who's attention are you trying to attract by making yourself look like you give a shit about Steve Jobs, just because you have an iPad and do nothing more with it than play Angry Birds?

Regardless, it is pretty disheartening to see one of the most innovative and intelligent people go like that. He'd been fighting pancreatic cancer for a while now and it was really big of him to step down before it had reached a critical state to personally put the company in able hands.

I have to admit, while it is sad in general that someone is dead I find it hard to care more than I would care when learning that any other person I'd never met has died

lol, after I saw how many people facebooked about it, I just up and deleted mine.


Just look on Digg right now, every single article is about Steve Jobs, despite the fact it happened a day or 2 ago.
