In case, you know, you don’t read ANY other news media outlets, just thought we’d mention that Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, has resigned. Given that his personality has driven so much of the company’s revival, we feel a little badly for his successor, Tim Cook, who now has to fill those effortlessly hip New Balance sneakers. (Also, I cannot find one picture of Tim in a turtleneck.)
Jobs’ resignation can be read here. Jason pointed it out to me, and I’m sorely disappointed it doesn’t actually say “iQuit.” We wish him the best, of course, in all things career- and health-related.

Yeah! Whew, I could have lost a whole 1.7%! Oh the humanity!
Oh wait a minute… that’s pretty good lately.

I gotta admit, Coroner’s Boner might be on to something. 371.74 -4.44 (-1.18%) as of 11:36am. Perhaps the market has already priced in Steve’s departure?

“Perhaps the market has already priced in Steve’s departure?”
Perhaps The Steve’s (TM) departure is irrelevant?

Great Wazzoo: maybe it’s irrelevant. But the company’s history suggests otherwise. Time will tell.
