Steve Jobs resigns as CEO of Apple



Who would have thought this day would come? Steve Jobs has basically built this company from the ground up beginning in 1997, and just recently stepped down as CEO, stating he can no longer live up to his expectations. Jobs is probably one of the smartest men in the technological world; he's a profound leader and entrepreneur. He "built," promoted, and sold millions of iPhones, iPads, and Macs. So, where does this leave Apple? I think the big question is if they will be able to continue their run at success as one of the top companies in the world without Jobs. I've read that they already have a list of products scheduled to come out, so I don't think the next 12-18 months will be an issue. Will his successor, Tim Cook, be able to rise to the challenge? I guess we will just have to wait and see....
