Steve Jobs Resigns As CEO Of Apple

Say it ain't so Steve... that is the sentiment of many as they heard the news that Steve Jobs has stepped down as CEO of Apple Inc. It's hard to picture Apple Inc. without Steve as he is the core of the company, the man who helped build the tech giant from nothing to one of the world's most successful and largest companies in the world. Steve's can be likened to Thomas Edison as he a great innovator and inventor of our time, he has created amazing products that have changed our lives.

Steve had the ability to popularize and create demand for products we didn't even know we needed. He never did market research and went on his gut most of the time because he knew people wouldn't know what they would like if they hadn't seen it first. Jobs of course stepped down due to his health, he has been fighting pancreatic cancer and this was very visible as his appearance became very frail over the part year.

This has sent shock waves in the Tech world as many feel like we are losing a spiritual tech guru. Steve is just an extraordinary figure but he was not without failures, he was fired by Apple in 1985 and he learned a lot from that and became a better executive. The question is now "Can anyone really replace quite arguably the world's most ingenious inventor of the Internet era". Steve will remain the chairman of Apple's board and Tim Cook will be his successor and take the role of CEO of Apple.
