Part of the letter from Jobs:

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.

A Meaningful Partnership With Microsoft [History]

“If we want to move forward and see Apple healthy and prospering again, we have to let go of a few things here. We have to let go of this notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose. Kay? We have to embrace a notion that for Apple to win, Apple has to do a really good job, and if others are going to help us, that’s great ‘cuz we need all the help we can get.”

TURN YOUR WI-FI OFF!

Steve Jobs is video chatting with Johnny Ive over Wi-Fi on the new iPhone.

Video freezes sometimes and Steve yells at people to turn their Wi-Fi off.

Granted, 570 WiFi base stations in one given location is bound to create an insane number of packet collisions.

WWDC LiveBlogs Shut Down

570 WiFi base stations are operating in the same room for the WWDC keynote.  The packet collisions must be incredible!

Ars Technica, Gizmodo, Technologizer, and gdgt are still up.
