Is this the end of an era?  If so, it has truly been one of the most remarkable.  I am no Apple fan-boy by any means; however, anyone can take a notice that the name Steve Jobs in synonymous with Apple.

It has been confirmed that the COO of Apple, Tim Cook, will be taking over as Jobs will take on a more meager position within the company.  So, what does this mean for the top valued corporation in America?

I have always been a firm believer that Jobs always played a large role in how Apple operated — wanting to close it’s customers in and being afraid of competition.  Will Tim Cook be the same tenacious leader or will Apple be more formidable now?
