Jobs on path to meltdown?

There is no love lost for me when it comes to Apple.  I cannot fail them for their innovation, but I despise the whole lifestyle approach of the company; especially when the underlying motive is to introduce tons and tons of proprietary hardware and software that isn't compatible with anything practical and designed to shut out third-party electronics altogether.

Having said that, credit where credit is due.  Jobs came back to Apple and found a company in ruins.  In a relatively short period of time, he turned Apple from mediocre PC-wannabe manufacturer into a consumer electronics powerhouse.  However, recently things have not been calm waters at Apple.  Despite the success of the iPad, iPhone has lost tremendous marketshare in recent months to the increasingly popular Android platform (iPad should watch out for Motorola's new 'Xoom' as well) and the Macbook Air is obviously suffering against its much more popular iPad sibling.  Jobs repeated attempts to get onboard with streaming video services also continue to falter with some studios still shunning Apple in favour of other providers.

Perhaps the cracks are starting to show with this outburst reported by Cnet covering a rather bizarre statement by Jobs giving hell to the MobileMe team saying "You've tarnished Apple's reputation.  You should hate each other for let each down."  Ok, we all know bosses have to kick ass from time to time, but on this occasion, the team involved apparently had a very good explanation as to why what ever Jobs wanted wasn't happening.  In context, his outburst was not only considered rude and odd, it was unwarranted.  Clearly, the whole incident has surfaced to the public because of an increasing discord within the walls of the Fruity electronics company.

My only thoughts are that, in terms of tarnishing Apple's reputation, Jobs is doing a bloody good job all by himself.  He's obviously not well and perhaps somewhat burnt out from all that's going on in his life.  It would seem a priority that Jobs finds a replacement; for himself.
