Steve Jobs, the man who led Apple back from the brink and on to become the giant they are today, has stepped down as CEO. Below is the full press release.

Letter from Steve Jobs

August 24, 2011–To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it.
And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

More info when we get it. NC

Half-Life still has a huge place in classic FPS gaming, and a fan base that two years ago brought forth a short film from The Purchase Brothers called “Escape From City 17″.

Again we find that teva is putting out something new we love. Soft and comfy, these take the place of those flip flops we love so much when things get chilly. Reviews coming soon, but for now all you need to know is these have soft footbeds that feel like sandals, but protect like shoes.

They’re also available in a slip on. $50. NC

Looking for a camera bag that looks as little like a camera bag as possible? The good folks at Blackstone have got your needs covered.

You can also strap a mono/tri-pod on the outside of the bag. $125. NC

Without any question Rango was the best cartoon of the year and maybe one of the best movies period. Depp reunited with the Director of the first 3 Pirates films as a lovable but somewhat crazy lizard? Well lets face it, that just sounds awesome. With amazing video quality and standout sound, this is also a great Blu-Ray release. NC

With it’s bright vintage theme and the Gulf logo proudly displayed on the side, this is another ride we love from Deus Customs.
