The publicity on the whole Apple's stock option practices fiasco still hasn't died down, and now Apple CEO Steve Jobs is now fast becoming the target for further investigation. Now the question is, will Steve Jobs be graduating from the Apple board and walking down the hall of shame?

In previous interviews with Jobs, he claims that he doesn't know nor understand anything about the accounting implications. But IF the investigation finds that Jobs knew more about the company's practices than he's letting on, particularly about the accounting, recording, and reporting of grants, there's gotta be somebody to take his place right?

So who would be the possible replacements for Jobs? Over at AAPL, they have posted up a list of possible candidates to take the CEO position and they are:

• Phil Schiller - long-time head of global product marketing. He has been with the company since 1997 and has been critical in most product launches.
• Tim Cook - The company's COO, has had a long career at IBM and heads the Mac division.
• Tony Fedell - One of the fathers of the iPod; has an engineering background and is a former executive at Philips Electronics.
• William Campbell - One of Apple's leading directors. He has run a large public software company, Intuit.
• Jerome York - Although he is over 70, York has experience operating troubled companies. He was CFO of IBM and a member of that company's board. He is also on the GM board.
• Jim Allchin - Head of platforms and services at Microsoft, and plans to retire with the the launch of Vista. Also has an engineering background.
• Sue Decker - The highly regarded CFO of Yahoo! She has a Wall St. background and now runs several key divisions at Yahoo!
• John Thompson - The highly-regarded CEO of Symantec, has a background in running a large software company and is well liked on Wall Street.

How about you, who do you think would be the best replacement for Steve Jobs?

One of the standard and preferred office software used today is QuickBooks from Intuit. It's a software that allows you to manage your company's accounting info: numbers, data, finances, etc. With the program, you can manage payroll, inventory, or even track your checks, bills, and expenses.

Intuit has recently announced that QuickBooks Pro 2007 will now be available for the Mac for US $ 199.95. To top things off, it'll be able to run natively on your Mac operating system. It can integrate with other software like iCal, Address Book, and even your .Mac account. This new release will also have a feature called Layout Designer, which lets you create personalized and configured templates for purchase orders, sales receipts, and estimates.

Well, personally, I'm not really much into the whole accounting biz. But I've had a fair share of experiences trying to make receipts and templates in a few office suites and other desktop publishing software that I run on my PowerBook. Yes, I get the job done, but of course, it's always going to be easier if I had one sole program that's really tailored to help me manage accounting processes.
