Steve Jobs Calls It A Day

Today, news of Steve Jobs' resignation chirped out across PCs & mobile devices seemingly all at once. My Tweetdeck notifications were popping up at such a rapid pace, one could almost mistake it for a small cartoon playing on towards the bottom right-hand part of my laptop's screen.  Would've been easy to mistake for a nest of small birds; chirp...chirp...chirp, chirp, CHIRP.
So, Mr. Apple himself, finally handed the reigns over to someone else after so many years of building not only a brand but a culture at Apple that will be missed by many, I'm sure.  Love Apple or hate'em, the fact that the man who brought that lowly company back (with some monetary help from Microsoft, of course...) can't be denied especially after the recent news of Apple's becoming the wealthiest company in America.
So Cook's gonna take over as the new CEO of the company, having been formerly employed  with Compaq not too long ago.  Does anybody else see the irony in that tidbit of info?  If not, do let me explain: Compaq is owned by HP. HP is selling off crap left & right in hopes of possibly getting out of the computer hardware business altogether after posting some large losses over the last few years.  Ever hear of the Touchpad? Anybody? Anybody....
The timing couldn't come at a better time for Jobs to step down, as the iPhone 5 is merely a blink or two away & Apple's as strong as ever.  I bid him farewell, despite the lawsuits & locked-downedness of their products.  The fact still remains that both Apple (under Jobs) & Microsoft (under Gates) pioneered an era of computing & communications the likes of which, no other generation has ever seen.  I'm proud to have witnessed it: GREATNESS.  At the end of the day he's human.  I think I am, too:)

God bless you Steve.
