Microsoft Unveils a Radically Redesigned Windows 8
Wednesday, 14 September 2011 09:20 | Written by CNN Money |
Microsoft formally introduced Windows 8 on Tuesday to thousands of software developers gathered at the company's annual Build conference in Anaheim, Calif. The software giant said it reimagined Windows for the "changing world of computing." Windows 8 has a completely new visual interface, optimized for touchscreens on mobile devices like tablets. The result is a computer that operates as a kind of hybrid PC and media tablet, with all the functions of a standard PC operating system but the user experience of a tablet.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs Resigns
Wednesday, 24 August 2011 23:59 | Written by CNN Money |
Apple made no mention of Jobs' health in its statement about the change, but Jobs alluded to it in the letter of resignation he sent to Apple's board on Wednesday and later released publicly. "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," wrote Jobs, who has been on medical leave since January. Cook has been filling in as the company's leader. (For more on Tim Cook, see Fortune's landmark profile: "Tim Cook: The genius behind Steve") Apple's (AAPL, Fortune 500) board took pains to praise Jobs, who led a historic turnaround for the once-ailing company. Apple shares were briefly halted in after-hours trading as Apple announced its leadership change. When trading resumed, shares dropped 5%. "Steve's extraordinary vision and leadership saved Apple and guided it to its position as the world's most innovative and valuable technology company," board member Art Levinson said. "In his new role as chairman of the board, Steve will continue to serve Apple with his unique insights, creativity and inspiration."
