In before the fanboys declare Apple dead in the water. His resignation was inevitable. Now it's up to Apple to continue their singular approach to presentation, sales and product development. I'm quite sure the next few iterations of the iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, et al are already planned out. The true test of Apple's mettle will come probably next summer or so. Regardless... not a sad day. A man doing his job, taking them from 2.17 Billion in 1997 to 348.75 Billion in 2011 is not bad work.
