Doesn't surprise me too much, Steve Jobs took a pretty long vacation to find out what he wanted to do next. FFFFFUUUU- Fell for the trap
He was going to download his mind into a robot and retire a long time ago but it took the design team forever to figure out how to build a robot capable of wearing turtleneck sweaters.
They didn't. What they actually said was that he was joining Bill Gates with his pursuit of philanthropy. Also, I don't think this is a good April fools joke either.
That could work, but then you don't have the pleasure of making someone feel so obviously fooled when they should have known better.
I heard that Steve Jobs didn't resign to join Bill Gates with his pursuit of philanthropy, but to actually pursue his true love of Surfing on the ASP World Tour.
