Steve Jobs resigns as CEO of Apple

Today marks the end of an era. Steve Jobs, the mind behind the iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc., is resigning as CEO of Apple. The position is to be filled by Apple's COO, Tim Cook. Health concerns may be the cause as Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2004 and underwent a liver transplant two years ago. I wish him the best in the future with his health and any other business endeavors.
