In January, Jobssaid he would take anothermedical leave of absence, two years after a six-month sabbatical duringwhich he receiveda liver transplant. Although it was his third medical leave of absence, hecontinued to make Apple's major strategic decisions while Cook took over theday-to-day operations.

賈伯斯閃電辭職 蘋果股價重挫!

焦點人物蘋果電腦的執行長賈伯斯閃電請辭，不過這個消息傳出立刻影響股市，蘋果股價一口氣跌了5.3%。

其實賈伯斯三十五年前，一手創立了蘋果電腦，現在蘋果的產品也改變了很多人的生活習慣。

現在賈伯斯宣佈辭職，也讓蘋果迷非常失落，賈伯斯抱病亮相立刻搏得滿堂采，我們一直努力研製這項新產品，我不想錯過這一刻，蘋果迷高興還不到半年賈伯斯又辭職了。

信中他感性地說：他曾經說過，如果有一天無法再履行職務，以及符合作為執行長的要求時，他會在第一時間告訴大家。

很不幸地這一天終於來了，不過他相信蘋果公司的前途一片光明，他也樂意在新崗位上繼續為公司奉獻。

消息傳出蘋果股價暴跌二十美元，約六百塊台幣，台灣蘋果供應鏈鴻海、鴻準、大立光、宸鴻等股價也從紅蘋果變成了青蘋果。

因為賈伯斯是蘋果的靈魂，少了他蘋果還會是蘋果嗎，三十五年前賈伯斯才二十一歲，在自家車庫和二十六歲的佛尼亞克創辦蘋果公司，推出第一代蘋果電腦，後來因內部權力鬥爭，他離開蘋果。

我二十五歲時曾身價俞百萬美金，那一點都不重要，十年後蘋果和賈伯斯重修舊好。

他不僅替麥金塔系列改頭換面，並推出IPOD、IPHONE、IPAD和ITUNES，不僅讓3C產品更人性化、更生活化，更創造了無與倫比的蘋果文化。
