I am guessing it would also be reasonable to say it has a material affect on Apple as a publicly traded company, at least in the short term. And certainly the stock price.

But I wish him the best, it seems too soon for him to be leaving this, and I am sure he has more he wants to do.

Yeah, we know it has a material effect... but that's not why this is here. Apple's stock isn't interesting Hacker News.

This is here because it's really fun talking about Steve Jobs, love him or hate him, and because the man's the archetypal startup founder along with Woz. That's totally fine but let's not kid ourselves.

yeah I wasn't really thinking about HN relevance, more the "privacy" issue.

I think Steve is important enough to be relevant to HN.

I would say that John Sculley confirms that :-)
