So Who's Running Apple Now?

An anonymous reader writes "With Steve Jobs stepping down from heading Apple for at least six months who's running the company that he resurrected? This article names the three people who will try to keep things running. But you have to wonder whether they'll have the charisma needed to keep Apple cool..."

    fact is apple needs a successor.

    I don't think Bill Gates is doing anything important right now...

    I heard he mined the minerals and metals himself. Smelted and forged them. Used his own personal laser pointer to hand cut every chip. Speaks in code to a special computer that compiles it on the fly. And then hand assembles each and every Apple devise.

    How will they carry on without him?

    If Apple just want to get big among costumers all they need to do is to start selling the OS and applications for any computer

    I agree. The "one size fits all" mentality, that seems to be the norm at Apple, is instantly shot down in the costume industry.

    Hans Reiser's going to be doing nothing twiddling his thumbs for the next few years as well....

    Cool, Apple will finally be able to overcome the pesky filesystem limitations that have been holding the iPod back ;)

  8. Put George W. Bush in charge of Apple by PolygamousRanchKid+ · · Score: 4, Funny

    He'll be free real soon now. Everybody rants that Apple's success is dependent on Jobs. If Apple continues to deliver blockbuster products, despite having George W. Bush as CEO, that will prove them wrong, and that Apple as a company is strong, despite of who is at the helm.

    If Apple craters, we can all blame it on Bush.

    Does your dick look good in a turtleneck? Does your dick always provide "one more thing" right at the end? Can your dick keep a conference room of people enthralled for hours at a time? Is your dick anal retentive?

    If so, I would like to meet your dick.
