Steve Jobs (Apple's CEO) has resigned. He said in a letter:

[Quote=Steve Jobs]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.[/quote]

According to Apple, Tim Cook will take Jobs' Place as CEO and Jobs will be Chairman of the Board, as per his request.

Well...I'm amazed that guy isn't dead yet! He's rumored to have a ton of health issues.
I'm sure Apple won't stop making shitty products supported by arrogant fanboys/girls and creative advertisements.

So far as I know, he had a huge tumour (cancer) in his pancreas and he's doctor told him he would be dead in a few months a couple of years ago now. He also has some issues with his liver and probably had received a liver transplant (Might have compatiblity problems. His body might be rejecting the new comer.) and there're also issues with his heart. o.O

He's a tough guy I'd say.
