(CNN) -- It's a moment many tech fans hoped never would come: Steve Jobs' resignation from the helm of Apple, which he co-founded from his family garage in 1976.
As that news hit early Wednesday evening on the East Coast, people rushed to online social networks to mourn the apparent end of Jobs' career; talk about what this means for the future of Apple products like the iPhone; and wish him good health.
"The end of an era!" one Twitter user wrote.
"I pray it's not bc (because) of his health," said another.
"he was one of the most innovative and incredible men ever. I will not be the only one to shed a few tears over this news," wrote another.
Jobs will remain with the company as chairman of Apple's board of directors. But some commenters acted like he had passed away.
"I'll miss him. I'll miss his vision. I'll miss his character. I'll miss every terajoule of his near unlimited energy," wrote one of @cnntech's Twitter followers.
Merkel named world's most powerful woman
Published: 25 Aug 11 08:00 CET
Forbes magazine has named German Chancellor Angela Merkel the world's most powerful woman, calling her the "undisputed" leader of the European Union and head of its only "real global economy."
- Kohl slams Germany's 'unreliable' foreign policy (24 Aug 11)
- Wulff attacks ECB for bond purchases (24 Aug 11)
- Merkel urges eurozone budgets court enforced (24 Aug 11)
"German Chancellor Angela Merkel is head of the one real global economy in Europe and is the 'undisputed' leader of the EU," Forbes said.
"Although overseeing a booming economy and falling unemployment, she contends with a weakening support base and crisis in the eurozone, where Germany is often in the unenviable position of bailing out its weaker neighbors," the magazine opined. "She is out to stabilize EU debt and keep the 17-member eurozone unified."
It was Merkel's fifth time at the top of the list.
The 57-year-old politician led it from 2006 to 2009 but then was bumped back to 4th place last year by US first lady Michelle Obama, Kraft Foods chief executive Irene Rosenfeld, and chat-show host Oprah Winfrey.
Clinton, listed 5th in 2010, climbed to the second rung after more than two grueling years as US President Barack Obama's top diplomat.
ASEAN Economic Ministers Set the Future Work for the AEC

Pushpanathan together with Mr. Gusmardi Bustami, SEOM Chair and Director-General, International Trade Cooperation, Ministry of Trade, Indonesia, gave a briefing to the Diplomatic Community on the outcomes of the Post-43rd AEM Meeting and Related Meetings, which was convened on 9-14 August 2011 in Manado, Indonesia.
Mr. Gusmardi in his Opening Remarks provided a general assessment of the Meetings at Manado and made three main observations vis-à-vis, first, Ministers shared the view and sentiment that ASEAN must stay on its course toward the ASEAN Economic Community; second, both ASEAN and Dialogue Partners shared the view that the uncertainties in global economy only underscored the importance of deepening further the economic integration amongst ASEAN and the Dialogue Partners; and third, there is a continued convergence of views among ASEAN Member States and between ASEAN and its Dialogue Partners to deepen the integration process and ensure the SMEs fairly benefit from the process. He further reiterated that the future of ASEAN for an equitable economic development depends on enhancing the SMEs in the region, "deepening the integration process and assisting the SMEs is about getting more and more of our stakeholders taking part in the region's economic activities and expanding the benefits of our work to the whole spectrum of businesses".
Mr. S. Pushpanathan elaborated on three main areas in his detailed presentation: the ASEAN Economic performance; the highlights of 43rd AEM and its Related Meetings; and the deliverables for 19th ASEAN Summit. ASEAN as a whole has matured as both export and domestic demand fueled growth to expand by 7.5 percent last year. Intra-ASEAN trade and investment flows have shown an upward momentum and are likely to support its 2011 domestic growth, which is estimated between 5.7 and 6.4 percent.
