As usual, our resident basement dwellers have been horribly wrong. LMAO!!One year ago today, Steve Jobs stepped down from the CEO post he held for more than a decade, making Tim Cook the head of what is now the most valuable publicly-traded company in the world. After the announcement, Apple's stock dropped more than 5% in after hours to $351.
One year later, Apple is the most valuable publicly-traded company ever (not accounting for inflation) with a current share price of $668, gaining more than 75% year-over-year. With Cook in charge, Apple has recorded its three best quarters ever; released the iPhone 4S, the new iPad, the Retina MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion; and previewed the next version of iOS.
You're talking about Samsung, right?if they keep taking other peoples inventions and re-designing them with rounded corners they will be fine
I think it was a stroke of genius putting the supply chain guy in charge..... Apple will make money at the same price points others barely break even...http://www.macrumors.com/2012/08/24/apple-hits-new-highs-as-tim-cook-celebrates-one-year-as-ceo/

I'm not too crazy about that. I'd rather let Ives be in charge and let Cook do what he is/was best at.I think it was a stroke of genius putting the supply chain guy in charge.....
But do you put the "magical device" guy in front of Wall Street? I don't think so, clearly Ives is doing that thing that he does, and largely kicking ass at it - it looks to me like they've got the right mix. If they can pull a content deal together for TV they'll pull another iPad....I'm not too crazy about that. I'd rather let Ives be in charge and let Cook do what he is/was best at.
Yes. Apple's put Jobs and his reality distortion field in front of Wall Street for years and they've done great at it.But do you put the "magical device" guy in front of Wall Street?
Yup. Exactly.I think it was a stroke of genius putting the supply chain guy in charge..... Apple will make money at the same price points others barely break even...
OTB
This just shows that you don't know Tim Cook at all. The man was a powerhouse at Compaq and was one of the major contributing factors other than Steve Jobs to turn Apple around at the supply chain and logistics level by creating efficiencies and reducing costs way back in the late 1990s. At the time Cook never received much credit by the media because Jobs was the face of Apple.Frankly, I think that Cook is a bit of a softie.
It's one thing to supply a market, it's another to create and develop one.This just shows that you don't know Tim Cook at all.

Gee, if it's that easy, how come you're not the CEO?no im talking about apple. hardware wise they havent invented shit really since Wozniak left. they just patent other peoples inventions after they round the corners.
