Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO

An anonymous reader writes "The title says it all, really; Steve Jobs has resigned as the CEO of Apple, and would like to become Chairman of the Board. Reasons are not specified, but his declining health of recent years is a likely candidate. He's named Tim Cook as his successor."

So don't buy an iDevice.

This has been another in the series, "Simple Answers to Simple Questions posed by Simpletons."

Let me make this simple for you, South Park Turd Fan.

YOU are not the target audience for Apple's iPhone/iPad.

YOU have never been the target audience for Apple's iPhone/iPad.

YOU will never be the target audience for Apple's iPhone/iPad.

The target audience are people that want things to work without a whole lot of hassle for them.

iTunes Store. Click, I buy a song. I drop the iPod or iPhone or iPad in it's cradle. SYNC!

Seamless from that mouse click to listening on the iPhone/Pod/Pad.

I buy an album of MP3 songs from Amazon. I drag and drop the folder onto the iTunes icon. The songs are copied to iTunes. Again, seamless to the iDevice.

People want a pleasant experience. Apple provides that.

And they don't care a fat rat's ass about openess. They care about Angry Birds. They care about the phone working when they need it. They care about the iPad bringing up the day's TV listings.

Apple doesn't care about YOU. YOU, as has been mentioned, are not their target audience.

Do you own any Apple/iDevices? If no, GTFO. If yes, STFU, you KNEW what you were getting into when you laid down the plastic at the Apple Store or Amazon.
