It didn't just happen. I'd bet money that when he retired in August, he knew he didn't have long to go.
It vaguely bothers me that everyone credits Jobs for Apple's success. Sure, he was an inspirational leader and pushed for high standards, but much of the success for the iPod and other products must lie with Jonathan Ives and the countless other engineers and programmers who made them work. But then that might just be the resentful engineer in me saying that.
Also, my joke of the day is: Will Steve Jobs' gravestone be a blank, white, polished marble slab?

Absolutely. This has always been one of my gripes with the Jobs' fanbase.

Some guy called Tim Cook is the new Chairman of Apple. Apparetly Steve quit Apple in August so he's been in charge since then.

Having read through the entire thread, I was most disappointed that no one followed this up properly. Steve Jobs' personal wealth will go to his family, and/or whoever is outlined in his will.
Furthermore, not only did Steve Jobs completely decimate Apple's corporate philanthropy when he regained the helm, he never reversed that decision when Apple bounced back into the black - a promise he had made.
A lovely outpouring for a person who contributed nothing but to the creature comforts of those wealthy enough to afford his products.
