Steve Jobs Resigns as CEO

PeterWalk

Steve Jobs, the CEO and face of Apple computers over the past decade has resigned as CEO, effective immediately. While this is not exactly Jobs leaving the company for something else, it still is a major announcement. Plus, Jobs is still going to be the Chairman of the Board, so he’s not exactly going anywhere. This does and does not come as a shocking announcement to myself, as Jobs has not been as noticeable as he has been in the past, due to his various illnesses and such. But, whenever a big company like Apple loses its CEO suddenly, it’s big news. Jobs is being replaced by the COO of Apple, Tim Cook, which isn’t a big deal, as Cook has taken over for Jobs whenever Jobs did go on medical leave in the past, and the two of them work together a lot.

So, with Cook in the fold, should we expect anything really fundamentally different from Apple, the hippest tech company over the past decade in terms of money making or bringing out the new “must-have” item? No, as things should run just as smoothly as before.

Technology in Construction & Manufacturing: Why It’s More Than Just Device Management

January 20, 2026

Modern construction and manufacturing sites are no longer just about heavy machinery; they’re digital ecosystems. Tablets, laptops, IoT sensors, and mobile apps are now essential for everything from blueprint access to production monitoring. These tools enable real-time collaboration, safety compliance, and operational efficiency. But when your workforce is spread across remote job sites or large facilities, keeping these systems connected and secure becomes a challenge. Construction Blueprint & Plan Access: Crews use tablets to view updated plans on-site, reducing errors and rework. Safety & Compliance Reporting: Mobile apps allow instant incident reporting and safety checks. Equipment Tracking: IoT sensors monitor heavy machinery usage and maintenance needs. Manufacturing Production Line Monitoring: Tablets and IoT devices track throughput and detect anomalies. Quality Control: Mobile devices capture and share inspection data in real time. Inventory Management: Connected devices streamline material tracking and reduce downtime. These tools keep projects moving, but only if they’re secure, updated, and accessible anywhere. Why Remote Access Is Critical Construction sites and manufacturing plants often operate in remote or rugged environments. Workers need secure, reliable access to company systems, whether they’re in the field, on the shop floor, or traveling between sites. Without proper management, connectivity issues and security gaps can lead to delays, data breaches, and compliance failures.
