Steve Jobs: End of an Era
Steve Jobs, as all hopefully know, has decided to retire. His recent resignation has brought on questions about how the company will be run and what exactly will be released under the new company. For this purpose I mainly focused on how the company began and his history there.
I stumbled upon an article that was written in April of 1976. It basically summarizes exactly how Apple started. Here's the link: http://www.silicon-valley-story.de/sv/apple_first.html
I then decided to focus my search to more recent times since Jobs has decided to retire as CEO of Apple. I have always been a lover for Apple products, so the fact that Jobs has decided to retire leaves me sort of dumbfounded. I wanted to look more into how Apple is expected to do after losing Jobs as CEO (he will continue to be a chairman at Apple).

The website above basically said that Apple should see hardly any crash because the products will remain popular and the holiday season means big money for the company.
Overall, Apple will continue to be a strong despite the loss of Jobs; and it helps that he will continue to be a chairman.
