@Ryan McCarthy Ah, interesting, though that now on the "real" PBS Charlie Rose show (shot at the Bloomberg studio) he's got nothing on Jobs. Was probably taped a few hours earlier, then Charlie, still wearing the same suit, went over and it was Bloomberg producers who wrangled those big fish guests. -

Quotes from Steve Jobs --"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important." (Commencement speech at Stanford University, 2005) -

In away he was probably preparing for his eventual demise. But he has put in place all the people in Apple to succeed him. He will be hard to be replaced but I am sure with his untimely demise, he wants to ensure Apple will still be relevant in the world market. My deepest condolence to his family. -

The Wall Street Journal has this take on why Jobs' death has so far had a relatively small impact on Apple shares: "The market's reaction mirrors the modest selloff in August when Jobs stepped down as chief executive. In past years, Apple shares often reacted dramatically to news of Jobs' health and appearance; however, more recently, his health developments have had less impact on the stock because of Apple's rapidly growing business and the acceptance of Jobs' seemingly worsening condition." online.wsj.com
