As MacWorld inches closer and closer, I can't help but have a little fear of what will become of the Apple I know and love once Steve Jobs retires. Although Apple insists that he is ready to hand over the torch to a new set of leaders, the rumor remains that his health is the reason for the changeover [1] and subsequent disappearing act from MacWorld [2].

What do you think — Will Apple be the same without Steve Jobs as the leader and face of the company, or is the fear just all in our heads?
