Facebook is discontinuing its "Places" check-in feature and replacing it with a new location-based product called "Nearby" that will emphasize what people are doing at locations rather than just checking in. Steve Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple after a medical leave of absence, with Tim Cook taking his place. Facebook reached one trillion page views, making it the first online service to reach that milestone, far surpassing YouTube's 100 billion page views.
