Apple relies on Steve Jobs to sell products, without Steve Jobs people will see Apple sucks as a company, the shareholders know this.Bill Gates retiring from MS? No big deal, if Steve Baulmer dropped dead tomorrow someone else would take his place.at the moron talking about the Chariman of the FED speaking, well, there is a big difference between the chariman of the FED and the head salesman of a refrigerator recycling company.
Can we finally admit that iReport has (now) LESS than zero value as news or anything else, and CNN should stop giving it so much attention and credibility?
