All the pieces I've seen are about what it means to Apple.

I assume it can't be good news for Steve Jobs.  It's not sounding like
"Recent health issues have made me want to spend more time with...", it
sounds like he's not able to keep up with the job, and since he went from
temporary to permanent resignation, I suspect he's thinking he's not going
to recover.  And that is sad.
