Fortune ranks Steve Jobs replacement candidates, but we know who it will be already [Apple]
Apple COO Timothy Cook is the man most likely to replace co-founder and current CEO Steve Jobs according to Fortune.
Cook's deep knowledge of Apple's operations and ready command of detail has won him the respect of the board of directors and the investment community. A bachelor with a passion for cycling, he's as steady and low-key as Jobs is temperamental.
Of course, as any Apple employee will tell you, "steady and low-key" doesn't strike the necessary fear into their hearts like Jobs' legendary tirades.

The NY Times has a good interview with Steve Jobs in which Apple's CEO lets fly with very quotable, very understandable quotes about OS X 10.6.
