| Steve Jobs |
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO, the company announced Wednesday, August 24.
His letter to the board and employees did not mention his health problems, but it was alluded to.
"I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know," he wrote. "Unfortunately, that day has come."
Jobs, who took medical leave in January, will remain on as chairman and former Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook will take over as CEO.
Jobs, 56, co-founded Apple in 1976, developing some of the world’s first home-use computers, and again revolutionized the technology world with iPods, iPhones, and iPads, which led to the creation of countless Apps and reduced CD and DVD collections — as well as entire Rolodexes — to those tiny, ubiquitous metal boxes we all carry with us. He was also the co-founder of another entertainment giant — the animation company Pixar.

Steve Jobs is already a billionaire, no need to handle Apple, give chance to others who want to become a billionaire!
wrong decision. Tim Cook will surely ruin Apple's success!
Steve Jobs' health is declining, we should understand him.
money is not forever after all.
