    Yeah. I feel like this a bit like Soviet leaders, back in the Cold War. He's probably been dead for three months already and they can just no longer cover it up. :(

    This will be an interesting "Good To Great" test. In that book, of course, the author maintains that companies with "cult of personality" CEOs can't survive after their leader goes away. I suspect this will be true in spades with Apple.

    I wonder what the over/under is on how many years that will take? I think 5 years will probably be enough to tell the tale.

    I find these pics hard to believe, as Steve worked a full day at Apple the day he resigned. He also doesn't look good in a dress.
