Steve Jobs steps down as CEO of Apple

**BRENT**

I know what I'm doing at 9 am tomorrow, selling my Apple stock!

Joking aside, condolences to his friends and family. I have seen a lot of pancreatic CA rotating and working in Ireland where the people ehem enjoy their drink a little and it is one of the worst prognostic wise.

Maybe a 'too soon,' but among the Twitterverse comments comes this gem from HAL9000:

Steve Jobs is taking time off to train for his fight with Jesus.

[Hopstretch]

Thanks for everything, Steve.

[shellylh]

Yep, thanks Steve!

Steve Jobs’s Best Quotes - http://ow.ly/1waKGW 

[archosman]

I suspect he's dying. Probably only has 2-3 months to live. The chairman position is most likely a PR move.

They've also moved up his autobiography release... so take that for what you will.

[blessingx]

As it kinda matters to your point, it's not an autobiography.

[tyrion]

Thanks Steve!

Bought a 13 inch macbook air today. Man is this thing fast.

^ Nice! That's what I play with every time I stop at an Apple Store (along with an iPad) and drool over. The last time I was at an Apple Store, I let my toddler play with a display iPad - employees didn't look too amused as Libby slapped at the screen with her hands/fingers.

A few good links to stories about Jobs are linked from DaringFireball too.

Yup, my thinkpad display died so it was a good excuse to get the new macbook air.

My parents' Mac Mini just started throwing the Prohibitory Sign.

Command-R seems to have worked. I don't know what these people do to computers, but all they have to do is glance at them and they stop working. I need to go home.

[The Monkey]

Nope, still fucked.

any recommendations on (not so expensive) bags for this thing? My current noname laptop bag just committed suicide.

large cafe bag from tom bihn? The medium works great for the ipad and 11" mba.

thats what ive been using for the past 3 years. not as much of a fashion statement as perhaps what dan suggested. but for the price and the mostly all black exterior i havent felt the need to look further. 14/15" version comfortably carries my thinkpad, ipad, reasonably thick notebook, thinkpad 90w charger, ti89 (big ass) calculator and a bottle of water.

you actually don't want a giant bag with a macbook air, too much space makes it bounce around

[postjack]

this is what i used for my 13" MBP + iPad:

fits my MBP well. its not snug at all though so it might be a bit wide for the air, but i think it would be fine.

I use the 13" Ristretto from Bihn which fits my 11" MBA and iPad. I went with the 13" because I was afraid anything smaller would be too small.

Apparently a fake...
