I think Apple will be OK with the departure of Steve Jobs, you don't think for a minute that Steve didn't leave a 10 year plan to Tim Cook to follow in case something were to happen to him. He knew he was dieing, that's why he stepped down. He didn't want work to stop because of his health. He was a very non-selfish person, everyone got the glory when things went right and the reverse. God bless him and his family in hopes that they will all get threw this.
