Steve Jobs Resigns as Apple CEO, Tim Cook Named New CEO - August 24th 2011, 11:24 PM

Fucking huge news. I really hope this isn't to do with Steve's health, and if so I hope he gets better. He, and Apple, truly revolutionised the entire tech world for the better, and changed the world for the better.

It's worth noting that he'll still be working at Apple! He's becoming Chairman of the Board so he'll still have a fair amount of influence and control over what goes on.

Also worth saying that Tim Cook is a great guy. He's basically run Apple since 2005 anyway, and so Apple really is in capable hands. I'm also very, very interested to see what he can bring to the table in terms of philosophy - Steve was very 'authoritarian' and it got results that many would claim are amazing, and I'm interested to see if Tim has a different philosophy.
