Yes, I'm sure people randomly wander into Apple Stores and walk out with iMacs under their arms, completely unplanned.
I once walked out of an Apple Store with a Genius under my arm, and believe me, that was completely unplanned.

Hire someone from John Lewis rather than PC World
I remember over 20 years ago going into Dixon's to find out about stuff which as a teenager, I new more about than the staff did! ... DISAPPOINTING....
lol you bought Disney stuff for your kids and were surprised it was in crappy packaging. I see you've failed to notice that what was inside was undoubtedly crap too. shocker
Was he cute?
While a good point, IMO we need to evaluate Tim during two periods.
1st: The 365 days after Steve resigned while Tim became CEO.
2nd: The period following this through today.
Tim is humane like the rest of us. None of us actually know the language in the succession plan. As far as I'm concerned Tim has been the CEO since the 1yr anniversary of Steve's death. I like what I see.
Oh he is, is he. Did he tell you that over the weekend when the two of you were playing golf
Or are you presuming to speak for someone else based in some notion that if you were him that is how you would feel so it must be how he would also.
You completely missed my point. I've no issues with Tim's guidance and leadership of Apple thus far. My comment was aimed more at the somewhat arrogant Americans who borderline mocked and ridiculed the Brits who came here warning of Browett and the PC World/Currys brand he led beforehand.
When you have a large amount of British members on a mainly US centric forum, it would be wise to listen to them when they air such negative views on a story, especially when it was every single Brit who posted a negative story about him. That, in itself, should tell you it's more than people who think too much of their own opinion and more that there's something genuine there.
Browett was always going to be a flop. His emphasis was always on profit via extended warranties and add on sales and less on customer service. Apple have always believed that give good customer service and the good word of mouth will bring in more people leading to more sales and thus greater profits. Dixons and PC World were/are utterly horrid stores, and when I was a student many years ago I was horrified at the sales tactics I was asked to show when I went for an interview with PC World. I declined the job, because I refused to sell DVD enabled (big at that time) computers to pensioners who wanted a basic word processing machine.
Yeah... Apple should replace Tim Cook, because he has done such an awful job. Really?
...but at least it was a decision that was corrected.
Well from everything we know security & secrecy at Apple headquarters is bigger than ever. Not sure how Cook prevents leaks in the supply chain at this point.
This sounds like something G W Bush would say AFTER the WMD fiasco...
