Wow. La asta nu ma asteptam. Nu acum, cel putin. Steve Jobs isi da demisia din pozitia de lider suprem al Apple. Nu vreau sa speculez pe seama sanatatii sau a motivelor si sper ca ii va fi cit mai bine.
Informatia a fost confirmata oficial de catre Apple.
TC publica scrisoarea lui Steve Jobs:
CUPERTINO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve

Apropo, daca nu ai vazut clipul asta, lasa orice si asculta-l acum.
Steve, asteptam un “One More Thing”
Wow. Doar WOW. :(
Dupa ce a revolutionat a venit vremea sa se retraga:(.Sa speram ca nu are probleme de sanatate grave si speram ca si compania sa ramana in regula si ca era apple nu se termina.
PS:poate e doar o gluma :D
Te misti mai repede decat netu de pe ipad-u meu :)) cand am primit eu breaking news de la USA Today tu aveai postata stirea de 10 minute :D
@Val: da, stirea de pe boio.ro a aparut la 3 minute dupa ce info oficiala a fost publicata.
Este o miscare gandita si analizata foarte bine tinand cont de impactul financiar, marketing etc. Asta a fost probabil cea mai buna decizie in situatia data,
Ce inseamna demisia asta pe termen lung pentru Apple?
Bai ! e pagina apple HACKERITA! :))
Mah nu cumva a dat-o in bara cu iPhone 5? sa nu se mai lanseze? Ce-ar mai fi=))
Sper sa fie ok nenea Jobs… :(
Nush de ce am impresia ca o data cu plecarea lui Jobs din functia de CEO o sa se aleaga praful de Apple. Atata timp cat el nu ia ultima decizie, apple o sa se duca de rapa usor usor. NUUUUU
Fabulos speech-ul! Sa speram ca si dupa mutarea lui Steve, Apple isi va continua dezvoltarea in acelasi stil si ritm.
WOW..CE LE-AU SCAZUT ACTIUNILE DUPA ACEST ANUNT…PIERDERI FINANCIARE DE SUTE DE MII DE $…
Pentru Steve Jobs doar un singur cuvant: SANATATE !!!
Ceea ce a facut el pentru Apple, probabil niciodata nimeni nu va egala vreodata.
Bafta si sanatate.
Respect.
Probabil Steve a ramas fara idei extraordinare pentru viitoarele gadgeturi si a preferat sa se retraga in glorie :).
Oricum sanatate multa si respect pentru el!
Respect Steve Jobs.
Poate nu este pe plac unora, dar pana la urma. Cum a zis chiar un bloger, Peter Nowak “respect the doing, not the talking”.
Actiunile scad pe burse, speculatorii le cumpara ;) pentru ca o sa creasca din nou.
Nimic nu este facut la intamplare, cred ca acest pas a fost pregatit de mult de Steve.
Sa vedem ce o sa fie pe viitor, dar Steve o sa ramana acolo si o sa sustina compania, daca nu din prima linie, din spate, dar de renuntat nu cred ca renunta.
Cu siguranță e un pas important care trebuia făcut, l-au gândit și ei doar nu pac-pac îți dai demisia când te taie pe tine, mai ales când totul merge strună. Toate astea sunt ca treaba să meargă și mai bine. Și o să vedeți că o să meargă. Nu mă bazez pe nimic când spun asta, doar pe principiile proprii și simțuri mai mult sau mai puțin dezvoltate.
Chiar daca Steve se retrage, sa nu uitam ca intotdeauna a adus la Apple oameni foarte talentati, care raman acolo in continuare.
