Or maybe the new CEO is his clone. He did say appointing him as the new CEO was the plan for his resignation.
That picture of him seems like it wants to stare deeply into your pocket and figure out another way to take your iMoney.
Jobs, 56, who resigned today as Apple CEO, in January took his third medical leave since being diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor. He has undergone a variety of treatments since 2003, including a liver transplant in 2009.
Pancreatic cancers are generally some of the most lethal of all tumors, and the most common type often kills within six months. Jobs has battled a less common variety that grows far more slowly and develops in the hormone-secreting section of the pancreas.
Although Jobs was diagnosed in 2003, his illness was not disclosed until the following year, after he'd had surgery.
The fiercely private Jobs has said relatively little about his health problems, although he did acknowledge his bout with cancer during a commencement speech at Stanford University. "No one wants to die," he said. "And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it."
Many people wondered about Job's health after noticing that he had lost a great deal of weight.
Neuroendocrine tumors can cause weight loss in several ways, experts say, such as by interfering with digestion. Among other important jobs, the pancreas makes enzymes that help digest food. Pancreatic cancer also can spread to the liver.
While liver transplants can be life-saving, they aren't always successful. That's because the original tumor can spread to the new liver. Or, treatment for the main cancer can damage the liver. Immediately after surgery, the body also can reject the transplanted liver, experts say.
While all pancreatic cancers are serious, Jobs' type of tumor was much less lethal than most pancreatic cancers. Some people with neuroendocrine tumors survive for many years, experts say.
More than 43,000 Americans are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year and 36,800 die, according to the American Cancer Society.
Only about 200 to 1,000 of annual cases are neuroendocrine tumors, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Actor Patrick Swayze died of pancreatic cancer in 2009. Opera star Luciano Pavarotti died of the ailment in 2007. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg also has had pancreatic cancer.
Doctors don't know what causes most cases of pancreatic cancer, although heavy smoking increases the risk by two to three times, experts say. Diets filled with meat and fat also may contribute to the disease. Those at greater risk include men, African-Americans, people older than 50, diabetics and those with a family history of pancreatic cancer. Chronic inflammation of the pancreas and exposure to certain chemicals also can cause the disease.
Scientists are actively studying ways to find the disease earlier, when it might be more curable, by looking at families in which several people have developed the cancer. Researchers also are searching for genes that may be involved. In January, scientists at Johns Hopkins University announced that they had deciphered the genetic code, or genome, of neuroendocrine tumors, which they hope will lead to better treatments.

Now let's see if Apple will be able to keep selling their iProducts at $300+ at what they should be.
This is looking more and more relevant.

Ok there are 3 possiblities.
1. Apple crashes and burns
2. Apple gets worse then it already is
3. iProducts actually become good
Hoping for 1, 3 would never happen and 2 is most likely...

According to the letter, the plan is to make Tim Cook the new CEO. And apparently a few people think he sucks.
Let's see how this will play out.

Or the unseen 4th option: Apple continues as normal after a slight Stock drop.FireGrey said:
Honestly, other than some slight effects on the stock price I don't see this making much difference to the company as a whole. This guy's been managing Apple during Jobs' long absences and doing fine. I can't see him shaking up the company a lot when its raking in the dough as it is.
