Their replacement was said to be Gilbert Amelio, an Apple director and chairman and CEO of chipmaker National Semiconductor. The speculation became a continuous buzz when it was learned that Amelio had abruptly quit National Semiconductor. But it was hours before Apple released a brief statement confirming Amelio's arrival and Spindler's departure, and noting that Markkula, an Apple cofounder, was returning to the post of vice chairman...
