Apple Inc.'s ailing chief executive Steve Jobs is officially stepping down from the helm of the company, an historic shift that hands the reins to chief operating officer Tim Cook.
The company said Mr. Jobs submitted his resignation to the board of directors on Wednesday and "strongly recommended" that the board name Mr. Cook as his successor. Mr. Jobs has been elected chairman of the board and Mr. Cook will join the board, effective immediately, the company said.
No luce nada bien últimamente. This sucks :(
UPDATE : La carta de Jobs al directorio y a la comunidad Apple :
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
Más del tema.
Digamos que no lo hace porque le gusta pasear en bote.
ReplyDeletehay que ser el sucesor de este animal, eh...
ReplyDeleteMe da mucha pena porque este paso al costado significa que Jobs empeoro en su salud, porque es dificil que largara la manija de Apple, que es basicamente su vida.
ReplyDeleteOjala se tome un buen descanso, mejore y que por lo menos siga tirando ideas para que se cristalizen en el futuro.
Un hito en la historia, lo quieran o no.
ReplyDeleteGodspeed.
