Steve Jobs Steps Down as CEO of Apple, Do You Care?

If you looked at my office you might think I worked for Apple. Between my iPhone, iMac, two MacBooks and two MacBook Pros, I could literally set up shop and open up my own Genius Bar ... without the cool blue shirts. Oh, and savvy technicians. 

Today Steve Jobs, the mind behind the iPhone and iPad announced his resignation as CEO of Apple. And admittedly, a little piece of me sighed. Perhaps it's because he was the innovative force behind all these wonderful devices that make my world go around each day.

According to NPR, Jobs' decision appears to be the result of an unspecified medical condition which prompted him to take an indefinite leave from his position earlier this year. Apple's chief operating officer, Tim Cook, has been named CEO.
