Actually, Apple stocks go up a fair bit, since the initial chock. It doesn't look like the Jobs news have had any impact at all beyond losing one day's growth.
In Russia, Putin and Medvedev are doing the chair dance, alternating between being president and prime minister. In Apple, CEO swaps chair to Chairman of the Board of Directors. Still full control, less daily tasks.
Edit: who was the previous chairman? And why is it difficult to google? :slow:
April 8, 1983, Steve Jobs convinced John Sculley to take over as president and CEO. In 1985, after a particularly nasty power struggle, Sculley demoted Jobs' duties and eventually Steve Jobs resigns from Apple. :P
June 18, 1993, Michael Spindler takes over as Apple's CEO. The world shrugs and goes back to sleep.
February 2, 1996, Gil Amelio was named the new CEO until July 9, 1997, when he was unceremoniously kicked out of Apple... the position remained open until...
September 16, 1997, Steve Jobs becomes Apple's iCEO (interim CEO.. cute) and eventually CEO.
August 24, 2011, Steve Jobs steps down to hand the CEO position over to Tim Cook. Apple's board of directors say he'll be CEO until at least 2021 (http://www.tgdaily.com/business-and-...ceo-until-2021).
So I guess... here it is?
1976-04-01 Steve Jobs
1983-04-08 John Sculley
1993-06-18 Michael Spindler
1996-02-02 Gil Amelio
1997-09-16 Steve Jobs
2011-08-24 Tim Cook
2021-??-?? ???
Oddly, I couldn't seem to find a proper Apple CEO timeline on the Internet and had to read a bunch of different sources.. so I'm still not entirely sure I got it all right.

Uhm, aren't those CEO's and not Chairmen of the board? 
I was wondering because Steve Jobs is said to be the "new chairman of the board of directors" but it seems to me like... he already was?
Can't find an article untainted by the new news, even if I set date filters on Google. The best I can do is find articles that list out the members of the board, like this one from July:
They're all listed as chairmen, but not for Apple.
Oh, wait, I changed my search around a little. Well, this proves my point;
Steve Jobs does not take over as Chairman, he remains as Chairman.

Apple's board members are:
Bill Campbell: Chairman and former CEO Intuit Corp.
Millard Drexler: Chairman and CEO J. Crew
Albert Gore Jr.: Former Vice President of the United States
Steve Jobs: CEO Apple
Andrea Jung: Chairman and CEO Avon Products
Arthur D. Levinson: Chairman Genentech
Ronald D. Sugar, Ph. D.: Former Chairman and CEO Northrop Grumman
Oh, wait, I changed my search around a little. Well, this proves my point;
1 of 10: Apple Inc. Chairman and CEO Steve Jobs stands under an image of the iPad 2 at an Apple event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, Wednesday, March 2, 2011.
Jobs accepted the role of Apple chairman and CEO in 1997 (...)

3 new Symbian belle phones and free upgrades for some Symbian handsets might have to do something with it.
