BREAKING: Steve Jobs Resigns from Apple, Tim Cook to Take Over

Steve Jobs is leaving his position as Apple CEO
We just don’t know what to say. We’ve just learned that Steve Jobs is resigning as CEO of Apple, Inc. Tim Cook will now be fulfilling his duties. Here is the letter in full:Jobs notes that he can no longer fulfill his duties as CEO of Apple, and it is most likely due to the leave of absence he took in January from the company. Jobs has battled pancreatic cancer and received a liver transplant in early 2009.I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve

What are the odds that Apple will now cease to be a company of litigious, thieving, patent-trolling douche-bags

Not much will change. Steve's vision and approach to design is now a part of the Apple culture. I'd be more worried if/when Jony Ive leaves...
