Just got my new Verizon iPhone4 today... so I can connect my iPad by tether!

Thanks to his vision, we can all use better, more innovative products.

May his legacy continue!

Apple is farked. Steve Jobs is the face of that company. He saved that company in 1999 when it was ready to collaps. For some reason when he isn't around that company goes south. I dont care who takes over for apple, there will always be doubts and comparisons.

Tomorrow apple stock will be Toxic. I'm glad I got out when I did.

Sic transit. Jobs has known for years that his legacy would outlive him.

I hope that he has a chance to work as Chairman, and Cook as CEO, long enough to ride through the transient hiccup that is inevitable in the next week or so.

Any fool who thinks that Apple is doomed by this change, hasn't been paying attention the past 5 years. Jobs has been easing himself out of the position of "only guy who can run Apple" for many years. They'll do fine.

Mr. Jobs announcement and resignation is likely attributable to his continuing battle with cancer. I hope he achieves some peace and solace in the realization of the superb products that have come to the world under his leadership and vision.

Kinda wish on FR as a whole this was generally modeled, followed, and enforced. An idea and debate forum free of personal attacks. FR would be a nicer place.
