I haven't played with this blog in a while—this must change.

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.

—Steve Jobs' letter of resignation as a Apple CEO.

I saw that headline and my nervous system took a jolt.

—John Gruber reacting at Steve Jobs' resignation.

I felt the same. An era has ended.

My first wife said to me, ‘It’s me or the guitar,’ and I picked up my guitar and left.

The permanence of film will make you stop and think before you shoot, though that isn’t always a bad thing.

If Apple bought Google (it already has a third of its value in cash) and it shut down Android, it could create $300 billion in value. If could even throw away all of Google and still walk out with a profit.

—Horace Dediu in Is Android responsible for Apple’s deep market discount? on his blog, Asymco.

So funny!

Gordon Brown refused to knight Steve Jobs as set by the British government and Queen Elizabeth II in 2009 because Apple CEO turned down an invitation to speak at a Labour Party conference.

And because Steve Jobs' birthday was yesterday — he turned 56 — here's an appropriate web site: all about Steve Jobs.com.

On 23 March 1839, OK was introduced to the world on the second page of the Boston Morning Post, in the midst of a long paragraph, as "o.k. (all correct)".

Beautiful innovations in HP's TouchPad, announced yesterday:

• URL sharing with other Palm devices (Pre³ or Veer) by "tapping the devices together" and
• Touchstone for wireless charging.

Nice to finally see some solid competition in this space (although no shipping date). Apple, your move.

Nokia, our platform is burning.

—Stephen Elop, recently-appointed Nokia CEO, in a memo posted to an internal Nokia employee system.

Here's a good one: read How Steve Jobs 'out-Japanned' Japan at SFGate.

Note 1: I was an Apple evangelist for a very long time; and while Apple was the underdog, it was fun—supporting a struggling sports team kind of fun. Now Apple is mainstream—I look around in airports and Starbucks cafes around the world and Macs usually outnumber PCs. Almost everybody has an iPhone. Game over. 'We' won. The evangelist can (semi-)retire. Still, Jobs is one of my creative role models and I read avidly about what makes him tick.

Note 2: If you're on a Mac, use Safari's excellent Reader feature to get rid of the annoying sidebar adverts while reading the article.

We are starting a project from our bike shop in North London selling limited edition posters, half of the profits will go to charity.

There are five posters in the first print run and there are lots more beautiful posters to follow when these sell out.

—Peter Carleton, Pushcycles.com via e-mail.

A yearlong look at technology news coverage by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism found that 15.1 of tech articles were primarily about Apple; 11.4 about Google; and a meager 3 % were about Microsoft.

When we run a strong story on Apple, we sell three percent more papers. So we run stories on Apple.

—Anonymous New York Times staffer quoted by Gil Amelio in his book On the Firing Line: My 500 Days at Apple.
