Does Apple need Steve Jobs?

When Apple (AAPL, news, msgs) CEO Steve Jobs went back to work in 2004 after surgery for pancreatic cancer, he was asked in an interview about the significance of his role at the company. First he joked about being “head janitor,” but then turned serious.

“Ultimately, there needs to be some gravitational force that pulls it all together,” he said. “Otherwise, you can get great pieces of technology all floating around the universe, but it doesn’t add up to much.”

The question now is whether Apple is losing its gravitational force.
