With news of Steve Jobs’ resignation from Apple, interim CEO Tim Cook now finds himself behind the wheel of the most valuable computer company in the world. Cook’s been deeply entrenched within Apple for well over a decade, so the company is seemingly in good hands.
And just like that, Steve Jobs has stepped down from his throne as CEO of Apple and handed the scepter to the current chief operating officer, Tim Cook. You can’t say no one saw it coming. Jobs has been on a medical leave of absence since January 17, 2011 for undisclosed reasons (he had a [...]
Steve Jobs has resigned as chief executive officer of Apple. The reason is presumably health-related—Jobs went on indefinite medical leave in January—but neither Jobs nor Apple gave specifics in their statements. Tim Cook, Apple’s chief operating officer, will replace Jobs as CEO, while Jobs will serve as chairman. Cook was already handling day-to-day operations during Jobs’ leave [...]

Don’t look now, there’s another social network lurking, and with Twitter’s best and brightest pulling the strings, it already has all the proper buzz-wordy tags. “Interesting,” check. “Unlocking human potential,” check. “Positive reinforcement,” check and—wait a second, positive reinforcement?
