Can Apple Continue Without Steve Jobs?

"It isn't the first time the question's been asked, but now that Apple CEO Steve Jobs is taking a second leave of absence for health-related reasons, it's impossible not to wonder: Can Apple continue to be successful without its visionary leader?"
In my opinion, the answer is yes. Tim Cook did a fine job of running Apple while Mr. Jobs was getting his liver transplant, and I'm sure he'll continue to do so now. I also think that speculation along these lines is useless. We'll find out when we find out. I might worry about it if I were an investor, but I'm not. From my point of view, the only important thing here is to wish Mr. Jobs a speedy recovery.
