Awwwwww, man! No wonder why he resigned. This is sad.
Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs was spotted with a friend two days after he resigned from his post.
I don't really have anything further to say....speechless. :(
1. He's a fitness nut and a workaholicOh and last but not least...He's GAY! Who Knew? This just goes to show you that gay people are multifaceted! All gay men are not into fashion, and wear Prada shoes....
Cook is an early riser, the kind of guy who starts sending out emails at 4:30 a.m. He's also an avid hiker, cyclist and gym rat, regularly hitting the local health club at 5 a.m. He's generally the first person to arrive at Apple headquarters in the morning, the last to leave at night – and is said to subsist on energy bars.
2. He's a big fan of Lance Armstrong's
One of Cook's heroes is seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, whom he reportedly enjoys quoting during Apple staff meetings. There are even rumors that Cook's closely cropped coif is based on Armstrong's cut.
3. He once experienced a life-changing health scare
In 1996, Cook was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Friends have said the experience forever changed his outlook on life. Since then, he has been active in helping to raise money to fund research into the disease.
4. He doesn't possess Steve Jobs' legendary temper, but …
Cook isn't prone to workplace rages the way Jobs was. In fact, should he encounter an employee who doesn't know his stuff, he never resorts to raising his voice. Instead, he's known to lapse into a frown, then begin staring at the unfortunate Apple staffer in silence.
5. He's a fan of Bob Dylan's and a diehard Auburn University football fanatic
Similar to Jobs, Cook is a Bob Dylan zealot. Yet one of his biggest passions is the Auburn Tigers football team. (Cook graduated from the university with a degree in industrial engineering.) The walls of his home and office are reportedly filled with War Eagle knick-knacks.
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.
SteveAnd yes Dancers, you can probably still get the iPhone 5....calm your nerves!
