John Martellaro of Mac Observer on why Apple will be more than prepared to survive and flourish even if Steve Jobs never resumes his role as full-time Apple CEO:

The question we have before us is not whether anyone can ever duplicate Steve Jobs. That’s impossible. The real question is whether a seasoned team who trained under him for over a decade can assume command, bring their own unique skills to bear, and work as a functional team that carries on the tradition and excellence of Apple.
