cnd Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Tech industry legend and one of the finest creative minds of a generation, Steve Jobs, has resigned as chief executive of Apple, arguing he can no longer meet his duties and expectations to the company. Apple's shares were suspended before the announcement but soon after dived 7 per cent in after-hours trade on the news that one of Silicon Valley's most celebrated luminaries, who was the beloved visionary behind the iPod, iPhone, iPad and Mac products, was bowing out for good. Jobs, 56, who has been on medical leave due to an undisclosed medical condition since January 17, said in a letter to the Apple board of directors and Apple community that Apple chief operating officer Tim Cook would be his successor. The pancreatic cancer survivor, who co-founded Apple from a garage and brought the company back from the dead when industry figures including Dell founder Michael Dell were arguing it should be broken up and sold off, said he had maintained he would let people know if there ever came a day where he could no longer fulfil his duties as Apple's CEO. "Unfortunately, that day has come," he said, adding he believed Apple's brightest and most innovative days were ahead of it.

Kim Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I always thought he was overdoing it, especially with his medical leave and still staying on board. I hope he takes this time to take a breather and get his health back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnd Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Not again! Apple 'loses another unreleased iPhone' * Staffer leaves device in "tequila lounge" * Fears device will be publicly revealed * iPhone 4 lost in beer garden before release FOR the second time in little over a year, an Apple employee has lost an advanced and unreleased iPhone model in a public place, CNET said today. The most recent incident came after an Apple employee misplaced his iPhone in San Francisco's Mission District in July. Apple security scoured for the device over the following days and determined that the phone had been taken from a Mexican restaurant. Apple officials believe the iPhone may have been sold on Craigslist for as little as $200. While Apple has not announced any plans to release a new iPhone, there have been numerous unconfirmed reports that the company was planning an October launch date for the iPhone 5. CNET reported that no details about the phone - such as its operating system and design - have been revealed in the latest blunder by an Apple employee. In April 2010, the gadget blog Gizmodo paid $5000 in cash for a then-unreleased iPhone 4 that a 28-year-old Apple engineer had left in a German beer garden in Redwood City, California. Two men were charged on misdemeanour theft charges for selling the iPhone 4 to the blog. They are scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday (tomorrow AEST). The already secretive company reportedly took even more extreme measures to protect itself from information leaks after the 2010 incident, including transporting iPhones in locked and sealed containers to carriers such as AT&T for compatibility testing. Apple and Craigslist declined to comment on the latest iPhone-gone-missing episode, and the San Francisco Police Department said Apple did not file a police report related to the matter, CNET reported. http://www.news.com.au/technology/apple-reportedly-loses-another-unreleased-iphone/story-e6frfro0-1226127033220#ixzz1WhRRvEms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
