Sorry I don't have more info, but google it. It's what the internet is for.

Your thoughts on this, fellow Escapists?

I want to say this is another hoax regarding him, though it doesn't matter much as I don't use apple products myself.

You sure?

It's on BBC aswell. Fairly sure it's true.

I don't think it will change anything really, Jobs will stay on as a design consultant and whatnot.

Wow, this actually comes out of nowhere to me, I had no idea that Jobs had health issues, although I suppose owning Apple can't exactly be the most serene job.

Applites behold your new god:

He got the job because of his impressive adams apple. Oh well, this probably won't change much about Apple's business practices.

This was surprising to me as well. Like really surprising.
I found out on facebook.
Then confirmed it here.

It's true you guys, he's stepped down.
About damn time, tbh

I have nothing personal against Apple. I have nothing personal against alot of things. I just use what works. Macs are pretty good, but I've used 'em here and there and something seems off about them. I'm not use to 'em at all. And yet, with great irony, Microsoft is an ASS. Life is funny that way.
