Letter from Steve Jobs
CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve

If you'll allow me a little latitude, I read something this morning that made an impression on me; "When the path gets rocky, God provide better shoes." I just hope Steve takes advantage of some 'better shoes.'
While I don't think Apple will collapse anytime soon, I wonder how much effect this will have in 'negotiations' with media suppliers. Steve may have been ill but he seemed to have pretty good at twisting other people's "arms!"

I had no idea this was a fake.
If that B the case, Delete the damn thing!
If I knew how 2 delete the pic I would do so.
That goes 4 my membership on this site also.
Just do not come back on me as if I knew it was not
the real thing. I take offense at you thinking I knew otherwise.
But I forgive you anyway. Have a good day!

Yeah, well you and a whole lot of people at TMZ seemed to think this was legit. So you're not alone, Buck.
Steve Jobs. In Birkenstocks. AND SOCKS. (to say nothing of the skirt(?)) I'm actually surprised TMZ still have this up, but hey - I guess they'll do anything to get traffic!

But, if it's on the inter webs, I guess that's not enough to make it true? 
What's next? No Santa Claus?! The one thing the inter webs have produced is a great increase in the number of cynics!

Your apology has been accepted.
