On April Fools, we expect to hear a lot of crazy stories. Macworld, for one, has reported that

from Apple

. The story, dated April 1, 2011, was clearly a gag. Macworld has since updated the piece admitting that fact. Regardless, there are many sites – including Cult of Mac – reporting that there are, in fact, some signs pointing to

The news has been spreading all over Twitter, likely fueled by Macworld's official gag. But aside from Jobs' health, which may keep him from running the company from time to time, it is highly unlikely that he would ever resign. He loves Apple, he loves touch screens, and most of all I'm betting he loves the fact that, after years of watching Microsoft
