Steve Jobs' health

It appears that everyone is writing about Steve Jobs; health and its impact on Apple. The New York Times article is probably the most informative and provides a good focus on the impact it has on the company rather than speculate on the state of Jobs himself. A key indicator of how this news is being received is the fact that the stock price of APPL went down by 10% at the announcement.

Personally I believe that the company will be fine. There are some stars from the company that will continue to shine, assuming they are allowed to, and their talents will not go to waste. While Steve was definately a big influence at Apple, his strategy for digitizing the lives of people has basically been set and proven. By continuing on that path Apple should do fine in the coming months and years.
