Scott Forstall left Apple?

Was reading an article on FastCompany this morning before work entitled "Some Job Advice for Twitter CEO Ev Williams" and embedded within the article was the following tidbit on Ev's ability to hire great talent:

Another thing Williams is doing right, according to recruiters: Surrounding himself with smart senior players. He's added major talent during the past year, laying the groundwork to scale and make the company profitable. Notable hires include:
* Scott Forstall, former vice president of iOS software at Apple
* CFO Ali Rowghani, formerly CFO of Pixar/Disney
* COO Dick Costolo, formerly Group Product Manager for social ads at Google
* General Counsel Alexander Macgillivray, formerly Senior Product and Intellectual Property Counsel at Google
* Director Engineering and Operations, Mike Abbott, formerly Senior Vice President of Software and Services at Palm
* Human Resources Janet Van Huysse, formerly a business partner in the human resources department at Sony Pictures

 

Did I read that first one right? I did a Google search and found no corroborating articles to support Forstall's leaving Apple, in fact, found articles to the contrary. Was this a misprint? Or a scoop? Or have I been asleep the last few days?
