    Looks like Apple stocks will be rid of like a contagion, according to the last time Jobs left.

    Prepare for some Google dominance.

    Sad to see him go, he did take technology to another step with the all the i-devices.

    See how Apple will go now :p

    Actually the technology was already there. He just packaged it and marketed it ingeniously.

    this means nothing until there is a lack or fail of the next completely new product line

    there is a difference in timing from then and now.... before apple was trying to compete with PC with raw power and specs..... jobs paved a different route by using design and software

    also remember, that while he was on leave previously, shares went up nearly 30%

    but then wen he announces he's off... they just fall...
    so would be interesting to see how it goes

    I'm sure he would do all he could to help out though cos why would he bring Apple up to this reputation we see today and let it fall.

    Supposedly those photos are fake. But even if they're not, he probably doesn't have much left in him... poor guy.

    The pics do look shopped, but in reality he is pretty close to it
