I see how this thread has attracted the anti-apple bandwagoners!
This is actually rather sad. I mean, personally, I'm not a fan of Apple, but Jobs is still a good man. With the whole problems earlier this year, it's rather sad to think that he has to quit as CEO of one of the more successful businesses.
I hope that he lives the rest of his time in peace.
He's only 56

Still he managed to bring Apple to be the 2nd most valuable company. Quite the feat.
[QUOTE=Panda X;31924887]Not entirely. Apple, like them or not, have really had a mark in technology and brought new ideas and concepts to users. Smartphones wouldn't be like they are now, tablets would still be considered a failure, etc. Apple brought good competition that others followed and all benefited from.[/QUOTE]
Then they systematically destroyed said competition through a team of very handsomely paid lawyers.

Yeah, but that probably wasn't Steve Jobs's doing.
[QUOTE=Leather Belt;31924621]Why? I know it's cool to hate macs but Apple's a great company and has done a lot for technology. Their only problem is their hardware is overpriced.[/QUOTE]
And the fact that they sue every company out there. They're trying to get a monopoly.
[QUOTE=Panda X;31924849]Ballmer has been CEO at Microsoft though Windows XP, Windows 7, Office 2003/07/10, Xbox/360, etc. He's been a successful CEO.[/QUOTE]
I was more thinking of the overkill demos that might occur now Jobs has stepped down, Ballmer gives me night terrors :-z
I thought he had died.
Bye Apple!
Don't let Samsung hit you on your way out of the market!

just as expected

That's far from their only problem.
[QUOTE='[sluggo];31924576']That was suprising.[/QUOTE]
You do realize he has cancer right?
lol Engadget (which is 99% hipster macfags) are going apeshit.
You gotta ask yourself
Was it worth

the fruits of his labour
[QUOTE=BlkDucky;31924947]Yeah, but that probably wasn't Steve Jobs's doing.[/QUOTE] I am aware of that. That it's why I said I thought that this wouldn't change anything. I have noting against the man, and I wish him the best of luck.

Ahaha imagine MacRumors!
I think he'll probably go on Buddhist retreat.
A lot of Buddhists towards the end of their lives do that and go on to live 20, 30 years (even the ones with cancer) and it becomes the most prolific and bountiful times of their lives.
Long live Apple and long live Steve Jobs.

Must be horrible to know that your death is coming soon
I hope people screen cap some of the most epic moments, I just don't wanna bother burrowing through the crap.
Wow, that is suprising.
Now whatever your personal opinion of Jobs might be, the fact is that he is a terriffic businessman. Wozniak was always the true founder of apple, but jobs did a hell of a job marketing and selling them.

At least he is a billionaire.
Apple may have taken a bad turn with all the lawsuits and etc, but Steve Jobs was always awesome. Gonna miss him.

Using fag to describe a fan base is so edgy I also love 4chan and being a close minded person.
I feel bad for the people who have apple shares.

[QUOTE]My gosh people have a little respect. All of you who are just complaining about your stock. Have a little respect! Steve is obviously not doing well, and you should be at least somewhat empathetic.[/QUOTE]
They seem cool.
