With Steve Jobs sick and out of work, apart from unveiling the February release of ipad2, the world is in a worry over whether Job's will be able to return to work in the future, and keep creating magic for Apple. In past years, Job's' had pancreatic cancer, was treated, had a transplant, and got back to work.
It is rumored that Jobs has recently been to the Stanford Cancer Center, which could mean that his cancer is back. Apple's stock rose March 3 yesterday when ipad2 was launched and Job's was there to unveil it, it could have been just the excitement of ipad2 being out that led to an increase in overall stock, but then again it leads to the question if Apple is able to sustain its magic without the leadership of Jobs. It has been reported that Apple stocks have been down 1.1% from its usual cycle, but rose the day Jobs unveiled ipad to a high of $354.23 and eventually closed the market at $352.12.
Apple's current standing and Jobs' current health condition pose a question, could Mark Zukerberg take over Apple from Steve Jobs? At this point it may be too early to say, but one thing is for sure, Apple and Facebook are some of the strongest technology companies out there today, Apple needs a new CEO and Facebook is looking in on how they can dominate the technology gadget market like Apple and Google. Zukerberg may not be as smooth as Jobs is as a CEO, but then Zukerberg still has many years ahead of him. The collision of Apple and Facebook could mean one of the greatest things ever. The world's favorite social networking site, teams up with the world's greatest technology device maker, we the consumer get the best of both worlds. Imagine Apple's Facebook, a social networking site for Apple users, something much more complicated, creative, and fun then Apple's Face Time or ichat. So one day hopefully the joining of Apple and Facebook may come.
Based on Zukerberg's resumé we'd say that it's highly possible Facebook and Apple could team up, any time soon!
