Also covered at 9 to 5 mac, but the filters won't let me post a link.

A well balanced piece from the NYT:

All the best to Mr. Mcfarlane, built an amazing company, leaving in good position- to spend more time with family (wife cancer, aging parents). Good on him.

Thanks for posting this. And thanks to John MacFarlane for doing amazing things with this company - making innovative, simple, quality technology that, unlike any other gadgets, a) gets exponentially better the more of it you have, and b) gets better rather than worse over the time that you have it. Bravo.

I hope new management can retain the company's spirit and philosophy and success, while continuing to innovate and address current challenges.
(and fix that self-inflicted problem with the music queue!)
