Steve Steps Down
Apple Founder and CEO Leaves Behind Legacy of Innovation
賈伯斯與蘋果傳奇

KRISTIE LU STOUT, NEWS STREAM
You’ve heard the news by now. Steve Jobs is no longer the CEO of Apple. He has held that position since 1997 and led the company he cofounded through its historical turnaround.

Now, in his resignation letter, Jobs said he could no longer meet his duties and expectations as CEO. But it is important to note that Jobs will remain Apple’s chairman.

Now, he is well-known for being hands-on. Now, he has made two major public appearances this year, despite being on medical leave since January. And this is his latest, just two months ago.

It is worth remembering just how many businesses Apple has transformed under Jobs.

The personal computer, it has come a long way: from the Apple II, making the computer affordable enough for anyone to own, to the Macintosh, making it accessible for anyone to use. Or the iPod, which surpassed the Sony Walkman, becoming the personal music player of its generation.

你現在已經知道這個消息了，史提夫?賈伯斯不再是蘋果的執行長了。他從一九九七年上任該職位，帶領他共同創辦的公司度過歷史性的轉機。
在他的辭呈中，賈伯斯說他不再能勝任他身為執行長的職務，也無法滿足對這個角色的期望。但值得注意的是，賈伯斯將繼續擔任蘋果的董事長。
他親力親為的態度是出了名的，儘管他一月起就一直請病假，今年他仍在兩個重要的場合上公開露面，這是他最近一次，就在兩個月前。

值得牢記的是，在賈伯斯的領導下，蘋果到底改變了多少產業。

個人電腦，這已有了長足的發展，從 Apple II 開始，讓電腦變得夠便宜、人人都能擁有；到麥金塔電腦，讓人人都能輕易上手。還有 iPod，超越了索尼的隨身聽，成為新一代的個人音樂播放器。
