Look for a hot and sticky high today of 90 degrees with a 40 percent chance of afternoon thunderstorms.
Apple CEO Steven Jobs has resigned his post. He said, “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. As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.”
Today is the 10th anniversary of singer Aaliyah's death.
