If you haven’t heard by now that Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO of Apple then where have you been? It was the biggest news of the week, certainly in the world of technology and business.
Steve Jobs has left the job he’s been in for the last 14 years, handing the reins of the richest company in the world over to former COO Tim Cook. He now has big shoes to fill. The biggest, in fact.
The reasons behind Jobs’ decision aren’t all that much a mystery. He has had health problems for years, including recovering from pancreatic cancer and having a liver transplant. And he clearly feels unable to fulfill his duties any longer.
Like everyone else, I wish Jobs well. I’m not a fan of Apple because of the cultish fanboys that live their lives by what the company says and does. But Jobs is an icon that will be missed by all.
