But it doesn't seem to be exactly accurate either.  He's going to have some kind of a job with Apple.

A renaissance man?

Stop it.

Jobs has done quite well for himself, but he's not touching the Newton's and the Da Vinci's, not even close.


...

I called him a renaissance man; those are just the two of the most famous ones. Look up the definition.

Don't respond.

 

[sekim2detcidda]

Based Jobs is that dude though. I hope he finishes out his time doing philanthropic stuff and enjoying his empire.

Not at all.
Him stepping down means he's stepping down.

There is no room for micro-managing at the top level of company like Apple.

Either you're in or you're out. Investors are watching every move and the new CEO has to prove his chops while standing on his own two feet.

He's not stepping down. He's actually stepping UP. He's chairman now, which is a step up from CEO.

he is stepping down

he'll always have a huge influence within apple but hes taking a smaller role now

 

[rowenarrow]

Just pray he is okay. The man has given the world a lot and you would hate to see cancer take him down.

 

[limitedretroog]

Chairman of the Board of Directors?
I believe that's the next step up from CEO. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.
