What is Apple Without Steve Jobs?

Posted by Zonk on from the different-colored-apple dept.

necro81 writes "David Pauly at Bloomberg has written a piece that asks 'Does Apple Inc. Have a Future Without Steve Jobs?' He writes in the context of Jobs' latest success in launching the iPhone, set against the backdrop of stock backdating troubles. In Pauly's worst-case-scenario, the SEC prosecutes Apple, and the board is forced to oust Jobs.Even without resorting to such scenarios, it's an interesting question to ask the fanboys and detractors out there: could Apple succeed and continue to innovative without Jobs at the helm?"

    The tagging utility is to make searching for related articles easier and for finding this one again in the future...

    NOT for subtly expressing your own opinions about the subject. This defeats the purpose of tagging articles and bogs down the tagging system with nonsense.
