[QUOTE=Grim Joker;31928617]Their CEO (who wasn't really their CEO. Tim Cook has been doing more than Steve Jobs has) has resigned because he has cancer. The company will surely fail now!
Companies lose their CEOs and get new ones. It's not like a company will keep it's CEO until the end of time.[/QUOTE]
Speculation about his health has been enough to make their stock drop in the past.
[QUOTE=Performula;31924729]Don't worry Steve, all of Facepunch is rooting for you! We're behind you until your final step![/QUOTE]
Ahahaaha, your fucking delusional.
It's about fucking time.
War doesn't need one man. And why should they reduce the prices if some random people can't afford their products. They're selling good according to recent statistics.
I just hope their new CEO isn't a retarded fucktwit.
Probably not because they still sell their overpriced computers and gadgets either way.

That is the driest thing I've ever heard, but it made me laugh.
earthquake and now this??? 2012 is coming!!
Just kidding I hope this Tim Cook fellow takes Apple in a nicer direction [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/img]
Again why to lower the price if they sell great. Would be idiotic.
My hate for Apple will never rest. But the fact that a great man like Steve Jobs breaks my heart.
Heh, a coworker of mine says he's not buying the upcoming iPhone 5...
"I'm getting a Galaxy SII instead"
:v:
Neato.
I wonder if Apple will continue to thrive after this.
[QUOTE=Mr.T;31934876]My hate for Apple will never rest.[/QUOTE]Then why do you have something from an old iPod ad as your avatar.
Even though I dislike Apple, Steve Jobs was a legend and a very intelligent man. It's sad to see him go.
About time. Now to watch the empire know as Apple crumble.

We shall see about that. Or the complete opposite.
[QUOTE=thisispain;31927451]bah bar of intellect
i'm pretty sure steve jobs resigning will have little effect on the workings of the company. he was pretty important to the popularization of computers itself. he was behind NeXT, setup Pixar for success, and brought Apple back from the dead.
let's face it, if steve jobs dies computer technology will have lost one of their first heroes. only people who are incredibly arrogant will deny that.[/QUOTE]
I'm more of a Woz person. Jobs was just the marketing guy. Woz had all the good ideas.

Microsoft didn't crash when Bill Gates left even though Balmer is trying to destroy it.
Why are people voting OP "winner" ? He's leaving because he's becoming too ill to work at his job. I don't care if you dislike Apple products, show some respect. The success of Apple is largely due to his hard work and dedication to the company, and whether you are a fan or not, you should respect what the man has managed to accomplish.
Gotta love The NYT's article about Jobs' patents.

I feel kind of bad for him, it's not his fault that mac users can be snobby pukes :saddowns:
Wish the guy only the best.

I'm not denying that the stock may drop a little, but the company will not fail or crumble or do anything of the sort just because Steve Jobs resigned.
He's still a cockwaffle.
But, damn it, I feel kinda sad.
god damn

SNIP, it is totally real, holy shit he has wasted away.

Evidently it was naive of me to think that Facepunch users may have reached that point in their lives where they mature a little bit and start to get the fuck off the bandwagons they hopped on when they were younger.
I personally don't like Steve Jobs himself but dying from cancer isn't funny in any way.
[QUOTE=Wii60;31957873]god damn[/QUOTE]
Holy shit. Poor guy.
I hope he isn't dying. That would suck. But still, that photo TMZ posted...that was uncalled for. Don't those douchebags have any sense of decency or respect for privacy? Twats.

Dude, he's been "dying" for years, ever since the cancer thing.
Guess he can change his name to Steve Quits.
