Apple's Cook gets Jobs' Job


Jobs is away from Job @ Apple again..This time for a tad bit longer...and worries loom large over whether his hiatus will mark his return to business at all.
His cancerous tumour has been giving him trouble for quite some time now, only now he thinks it has become more complex. Speculation is rife that this time around, he may not return to his top job as CEO. In the interim, COO Tim Cook, the master of Apple's operational minutiae will step into Jobs shoes. What does this mean for pioneer company?
Sure, Jobs was kicked out of his job early in his career [he was just 30, 10 years after he jointly founded Apple]. But the company survived. Jobs with his famous "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish" attitude battled this phase, and came to the rescue via the NeXt acquisition to the Apple Inc Board and lead the i Mac, i Pod revolution. as many people put it, if Apple's design is taken care of by Jonathan Ive, the vision that drive Apple and propels it ahead is that of Mr. Jobs.
