Cook taking over is probably the least surprising part of today’s news. Now all the hacks’ nonsense is over (I mean, Woz?) Good luck Tim!

Questions keep popping. What will the next Apple keynote be like? What about the bio?… and let’s face it, will my servers survive today?

I expected this day to come after the Sept event, in early 2012… but #steve tendered his resignation as Apple CEO today. businesswire.com/news/home/2011…
About blogs, biographies and apricot orchards
I have been thinking about the next version of the website for some time, and it’s time for Phase I to roll out.
I have moved the website to a new host last week. It should now be faster and more reliable. And today, I moved the blog to that same host. It is now really 100% under all about Steve Jobs.com, since all things Steve Jobs doesn’t seem to be catching on, and is just too confusing. Even though I am keeping the URL allthingsstevejobs.com, it will now point to localhost:8888/sqltest/blog. You might have noticed the better cosmetic integration with the rest of the website too.
I don’t think any of you has missed the two big pieces of Steve Jobs news from the past two weeks:
- the city of Cupertino has published the plans for the upcoming Apple ‘spaceship’ campus. It’s not bigger than the Pentagon — but close. If you’ve had a thorough look at the plans, Steve’s favored apricot orchards are showing up in the north east garden of the campus (see picture below).
- the biggest news is of course the release date of the Isaacson biography (the authorized one, not that fake Chinese one) which has been advanced to November 21. That’s right, it’s just three months away! Get the whole story from Philip Elmer-Dewitt at Fortune 2.0.
