Now is a good time for a Steve Jobs thread.
What do you guys think --- how will his resignation impact Apple?
PS - TMZ.com posted photos of him allegedly taken in the past few days.
I urge everyone to NOT link to the pictures as they show a morbidly ill
person. Anybody who really wants to see can go look manually.

Nothing ... It is a PC shop anyhow that makes other stuff...

I wonder if a guy like that can retire, with things on the go all the time.

Big shocker: TMZ used fake pictures. Sorry for not realizing this sooner.
But anyway, what do we all think of Jobs' stepping down?

While there are things I haven't liked about him, there is no denying
his drive, his vision, or the positive impact he's had on Apple since
his return. He's pretty much known what's coming for several years,
and my hope is that he's taken steps to ensure that his legacy
(Apple) survives his death.

I regard Steve Jobs as an icon who contributed much to the "consumerisation"
of computer technologies and computer-based services. However, he was not
without flaws and (from what I've read) in the early-mid 1980s his unbending
will and extreme self-belief lead to mistakes which almost undid Apple.
Either way, the man is very ill and I wish him all the best in that battle.

When I see him and Bill Gates, now and then... I can't avoid to have in my
mind at the same time the end of the seventies, when I began with computing,
and our actual times. And compare.
Steve Jobs, its history, insight and influence are unique.
