I will continue as CEO and be  involved in major strategic decisions for the company.<\/p>\n<p>I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for all of Apple&#8217;s day to day  operations. I have great confidence that Tim and the rest of the  executive management team will do a terrific job executing the exciting  plans we have in place for 2011.<\/p>\n<p>I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can.
