Animated GIF: Steve Jobs Terminates Self as CEO, Releases Book Cover

iResign

“To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community: 

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come. 

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee. 

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple. 

I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role. 

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you. 

Steve “

Gif: Floating Cat is Hypnotic

I like to imagine this house was built on the site of a former dry cleaners, whose spirits are still angry at all the cat hair they’ve had to clean. Really, it’s just the present house of a big nerd with time on his hands. Even better. (Thanks, Ty)
