An Open Letter to Apple's Board: Let Ives Take the Reigns

Steve Jobs hasn’t caught some horrible, brain-eating disease or been mortally wounded by a powerful yeti in a jaunty hike across the Himalayas, but that’s not to say those things couldn’t happen at a moment’s notice. And that’s why Jess McMullin over at bplusd has issued an open letter to the board of directors at Apple, asking that, when Jobs leaves or dies or whatever force of nature drives him out of his position, that they do the right thing and give Jonathan Ive the role of CEO.

Not that he’s perfect — he’ll need coaching to round out his business fluency.
