Probably dying of cancer. Well he's built a great team anyway. People like Jonathan Ive, Scott Forstall, Philip Schiller and so on aren't easy to find.

Who wants to bet that Jobs just makes it obvious to everyone and starts "The cult of the apple."

Quote from: The Cult of the Apple

The Ten Commandments of the Apple:

1) You shall have no other Computers but me.
2) You shall not make for yourself any PC, nor bow down to it or worship it.
3) You shall not misuse the name of the Apple Lord your God.
4) You shall remember and keep the updates day holy.
5) Respect your elder operating systems.
6) You must not kill hidden programs.
7) You must not commit adultery.
8 ) You must not steal software.
9) You must not give false evidence against your fellow Apple cultist.
10) You must not be envious of your neighbour's Apple products. You shall not be envious of his Macbook nor his iPod, nor anything that belongs to your neighbour.

With Google acquiring Motorola Mobility, Jobs is running scared. Leaving while he's on top. I kid

It would be interesting if Google directly competes in that market.

I figure there are mac fanboys out there who have literally had sex with their computers, so this just means don't fuck a PC.

Kudos to Steve Jobs for getting out under his own steam as soon as he realized that he couldn't do the job anymore, instead of struggling along until someone kicked him out.

No, that's common hysteric reaction of the boys at the Wall Street. When Bill Gates resigned, Microsoft stocks went down as well, but stabilized shortly after. I expect the same thing will happen with Apple. My point is: instead of crediting one person for this, we should be blaming those retards that yell "Sell sell sell!!!" as soon as they see a snowflake in the air.

Freedom Kira · « **Reply #17 on:** August 25, 2011, 09:54:16 PM »

I would join them in selling if I was holding Apple stock. Regardless of what you want them to do, people are still going to sell, and that drives prices down.

Of course I'd re-buy after it stabilizes reasonably.

AceHigh · « **Reply #18 on:** August 25, 2011, 09:57:45 PM »

Really? I would sell whenever they release a new product and stocks are high and buy when hysterical people sell so I can buy them cheaply.

I bought in at 87. Sold half a month ago. Looking for a div paying stock instead.

Triple up after holding for 3 years. Not bad.
