Here’s a bombshell. Steve Jobs has left Apple. Here’s his letter to the board of Apple and Apple Fanbois everywhere:
To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
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. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve
As can be expected, the fanbois are in mourning. Here’s a post from Canadian fanboi site ehMac and MacRumors has fanboi reaction as well. Tim Cook will become the new CEO and Jobs will remain as chairman for the time being. But this is a major shock people inside and outside the computer industry.
I for one wish Steve well in his post Apple existence.
