    Apple stocks have fallen, people are predicting the demise of Apple without Jobs at the helm. We'll see, he'll still be involved like Tully said, so I'm sure they'll be fine.

    last I checked.. the chairman of the board usually has a pretty substantial say-so in the company's affairs.

    People will still buy the iPhone 5 and the iPad 3 without Jobs being in charge of Apple.

    I really want to see the stock split right now. I'd love to put some money into it, just not at the current price.

    I think people forget that Jobs has been on extended medical leave for the better part of the last two years. Apple has been doing just fine (arguably thriving) while others have been essentially in charge. He's certainly an important figurehead there, and has really become linked with the company, but he's not doing it in a vacuum.

    It's going to be several years before we're able to tell how much of Apple is, well, Apple, and how much of it was Jobs' manipulation/vision/iron-fisted rule/etc. Time will tell, but I'm not too worried about them being able to handle the transition.
