Jobs Resigns

Steve Jobs resigns from Apple, Cook becomes CEO | Reuters: “Silicon Valley legend Steve Jobs relinquished the reins at Apple Inc to right-hand man Tim Cook on Wednesday, after 14 years in command at a company he brought back from the brink and turned into the world’s largest technology corporation.”

Those of you who know me know that I’m a big fan of Steve Jobs and Apple. While it’s sad to see Jobs step down from his role as CEO, I am very excited for the future of Apple. Tim Cook is a very competent person and will make a great CEO. He’s handled his responsibilities with prowess and poise during Jobs’ medical leave of absence.

Whether you use Apple products or not, the company that Jobs defined has completely redefined nearly every industry it’s touched. We all owe Steve and Apple a huge commendation for the way they have improved our lives.

I wish Steve the best. He’s still the Chairmen of the Board, and I’m sure we’ll still see him around. No can deliver a keynote address quite like Steve.
