recoiledsnake writes “The connection between Apple and Steve Jobs is
unlike any other brand and CEO relationship in corporate America, maybe
the world. While Bill Gates has successfully transitioned himself away
from his day job at Microsoft, [0]can Apple do without Jobs at all? Once
word started circulating that Jobs may be ill, Apple stock took a
considerable hit, dropping more than $10 a share. And when Mr. Jobs was
absent from last week’s quarterly earnings conference call, the questions
started again — and the stock fell again. What does this mean for
corporate users of Apple for whom switching costs are high? Can Apple
continue innovating in Job’s absence?”
