What the hell is going on today? Thats two influential tech personalities resigning from their signature positions in 24 hours. Im starting to get worried here. Whats next, John Carmack resigns from id?(heaven forbid!)

Retiring the same day as Apple's CEO just seems like Rob Malda's style to me, in the best possible way. I doubt he made a snap decision to do it, but if he was already planning on doing it and saw the opportunity... :)
As someone on /. noted, Slashdot was also founded in September 1997, the same month that Steve Jobs returned to Apple.
Maybe this coincidence influenced Rob's decision.
