Avie Tevanian to Leave Apple

by , 8:25 AM EST, March 28th, 2006

Apple's chief technology officer, Avadis "Avie" Tevanian, is retiring from the company to pursue other interests. According to SFGate, his official last day is March 31, but he hasn't said what his post-Apple plans are yet.

Mr. Tevanian started at Apple in 1997, and has been instrumental in the development of Mac OS X. Previously, he worked for Steve Jobs at NeXT. He was also very active in the development of the Mach kernel, which is used in Mac OS X, while working on his M.S. and Ph.D degrees at Carnegie Mellon University.

Jon "Jonie" Rubenstein is also leaving. Let's just hope that Steve "Stevie" Jobs sticks around for awhile longer.

Usually "he left to pursue other interests" is PR-speak for "we fired him." I hope that's not the case this time.

Here's hoping Avie, for whatever reason he left, lands on his feet (and not at Microslobber!).
