A visitor takes a picture on an iPad of a statue of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs at Graphisoft Park in Budapest, Hungary.
The six-and-a-half-foot bronze statue by Erno Toth depicts Jobs with his trademark turtleneck shirt, jeans, sneakers and round glasses. It was erected last week in a business park that hosts several IT companies, including Graphisoft, which Apple has supported since 1984 when Jobs saw it at an expo, according to the company.
What we’re watching in the newsroom today:a segment from the April 5, 1985 edition of the “MacNeil-Lehrer NewsHour”, that examines Apple Computer and “Steven Jobs.”
First line: “Tonight, we focus on an apple. Apple the computer, not the fruit.”

To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
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.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
