Steve Jobs Resigns From Apple
« on: August 24, 2011, 11:37:58 PM »

Quote from: G4TV
Steve Jobs, founder and longtime CEO of Apple, has resigned.

In a letter addressed to "The Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community," Jobs wrote:

"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."

In the letter, Jobs said he'd like to serve as Chairman of the Apple Board, and suggested Tim Cook take his place as CEO of Apple.

Apple has always had a love-hate relationship with gaming, never seeming to quite embrace "core" gaming fully. Apple computers are pretty bad gaming devices just because of the lack of titles, but its iPhone is the go-to gaming platform for millions of casual players.  You have to wonder whether Cook will court the gamer types harder than Apple has in the past, or run in the opposite direction.

Yeah, you don't often hear the words "Apple" and "core" in the same sentence.

I hate Apple with a passion, but I'm buying an iPad 2. No non-Apple tablet in the same price range can compare.

Apple has done nothing to create hate.

As for Jobs, I wish him the best of luck.  I do not think he will survive much longer.

I'd trawl YouTube for all the highly irritating ads they've subjected me to over the years, but I'd die of fatigue before even scratching the surface.

Oh wait, I think there's a nap for that.

Horrible to see that. He's obviously not doing good at all.

The people that use Apple products make me hate Apple because they're arrogant douchebags that are wrong about everything they claim.  Like H-Man and his Mac for example.

However Steve Jobs is a Uni dropout and gives me hope that I can trick people into paying more money than they should for something I do though.

You just wish you were them.

    A good listener tries to understand what the other person is saying. In the end he may disagree sharply, but because he disagrees, he wants to know exactly what it is he is disagreeing with.
