ive doesn't want to be the ceo - he's not that kind of guy +
he's not a technologist at all and that's what they need for
growing out of their legacy of well-designed products and the
concept of personal computing. they need to move towards services
and internet and apple has no tradition in that at all.. (see
mobileme)
@kungfiske: it has been
many times said that eve is very unlikely to follow jobs. also, in
an interview of ive, he seemed not to be interested in that kind of
stuff but more a design manager type of a person.
@kungfiske: I don't
know the guy too well, but the article describes him as "a creative
type, shy, self-effacing, and uncertain with managerial power."
@gatestone: Guess I
should have written "Job's post" :)

BTW, if the history is anything to tell, Apple will fail without Jobs.
