aapl.bloggingstocks.com — In light of the current issues surrounding Apple's option back-dating, if it were discovered that Steve Jobs played a key role in the option mishap and he was forced to resign as CEO, who would be his replacement?

Those of us old and wise enough remember Steve being forced out of Apple before. We also remember them nearly going completely under. Without Steve Jobs, Apple has no appeal whatsoever. Whatever it is that fan boi's love about him, it's ONLY him that has it.

Eric Schmidt would be an interesting replacement. Google's always been big on being open, especially to standards (hence their support of Firefox and mobile browsers), so I'd be interested to see what happens to the iPod's official support for only iTunes if he takes over. Regardless, I certainly will miss Steve's keynotes when he leaves (willing, or otherwise).

My point exactly. They've been trading on their brand name for how long?

I wasn't responding because I know you can't win an arguement with an Apple fanboy. Everything Steve Jobs does is genius, his words are gospel and his decisions are infallible.Non-fanboys don't usually take the time to respond to Apple posts, so the balance on here is tipped way in favor of you people. I'm glad you made a good living on Apple products. I'm sure someone made a good living in beta max tapes, that doesn't prove much to me.

My fear with SJ leaving the company is that I think few people understand apple like he does. I may be a machead sometimes, but the charm of Apple in 2006 is the sexiness and the innovation of it's products. There's a kind of wonderment that surrounds what Apple does, and a major reason for that is the galvanizing efforts of Steve's vision. For Apple to work, they can't have just another run-of-the-mill, drab, CEO. No matter how talented. Honestly, Shiller nearly killed the company with worthless-ism- apple's products just looked like every other PC manufacturer.Apple's foundation is in creativity and innovation, and any CEO coming in needs to bring that kind of energy to the table. Otherwise, say goodby to apple (at least as we know it)
