Apple In Crisis
Now that Steve Jobbs, is 'jobless', Apple will probably struggle to stay at the top, the cream of the crops. After having been diseased with cancer, the toil is taking its affect on Steve, with pale skin, sickened appearance etc.Will Tim Cook, his replacement, strive Apple to stay at its greatest, or will it be forgotten? Feel free to put in your ideas about this event that will go down in history.........

Yo personalmente no pienso comprarle nada a Apple hasta que no cambien su filosofía. Me compré el iPod con la idea de hacer mis propios programas, y resulta que con un PC no puedes hacerlo: necesitas un Apple. Luego, el programa no se puede poner directamente: tienes que pagarle a Apple. Y tampoco puedes usar el dispositivo para transferir archivos, como cualquier otro MP3, sino que tienes que hacerlo solo a través de iTunes, que no te permite hacer ni la mitad de lo que se puede hacer con cualquier otro aparato. En pocas palabras, jamás me he comprado un producto con tantas restricciones; lo único que puedo hacer es tocar música y vídeo, pero para cualquier otra cosa, tengo que pedirle permiso y darle más dinero a Apple. Les ha faltado prohibirme que coma jamón mientras sea propietario del cacharro. Me arrepiento muchísimo de habérmelo comprado.

Please post relevant topics for learning Spanish and English language and culture. I see from your recent post history that you are fishing for reputation points. This kind of post will not get you there.
As a self-assessed "Intermediate" level student of Spanish, I would expect more from you. Set yourself a goal related to your learning Spanish. You'll get much more out of that, including rep points.
Apple's philosophy has always been restrictive. The only period in the company's history that the philosophy changed was when Steve Jobs left the company for NEXT. The result was that Apple was ready to close. After Jobs was back as the CEO the history changed and we all know and see the results. Apple is the most successful and innovative company in the world.
There is a whole conversation about Apple's restrictions in several fora. Most people believe that this is the key to success for the company. Apple is a software and hardware company at the same time. Their machines are optimized to run certain software, while the software is optimized to run in these machines. This is where Microsoft fails. They produce software and distribute it to several hardware companies to run it in millions of different configurations machines. The result is poor user experience (if you use a Mac, you know what I am talking about). So Jobs says that I'll make the hardware and software as I want and you have to be sure that it just works. This is the point. If you want to play with your machines and hack it around and change components and, and, and.... then Apple is not for you.
As for his resignation as a CEO, I believe that nothing is going to change until he is among us. He reassured everyone that he will be the Director of the Board so everything that goes around will have his signature. If he decides to leave the company and stay at home, then it will be a huge change. For now, it is just a change in his responsibilities, so his life will become less stressful.

Hola, Blackfire.
As Pesta said, this topic should not be under "Vocabulary and Grammar", but rather "General Discussions". I edited your post for you.
If Steve Jobs personally left Mr. Cook in charge, he's probably a good choice, no?
Steve Jobs must be in a very critical condition if he was asked to step down from CEO to chairman of the board
He was asked to step down? I thought he chose to resign. He knew his health was inconsistent, and he wanted the best for his company. If he voluntarily stepped down, I'd say what he did was most admirable.
