Apple CEO Tim Cook is heading to the prestigious Allen & Co. conference in Sun Valley, Idaho for the second year in a row, according to Reuters. Last year, Cook said he was "looking forward" to meetings with media executives attending the conference.

In the past year, Apple has made a number of media-related moves, including launching iTunes Radio, bringing WatchESPN, HBO GO and others to the Apple TV. The company is also rumored to have a deal with to bring The CW to the Apple TV as well.

What is the purpose of this conference, and who else is there?

It's basically a meet and greet for tech and media industry leaders, with panels, discussions, and various social events.

Usually executives from Disney and other major networks show up, plus tech people like Zuckerberg and Bezos.

Maybe he'll invent some products instead of rehashing them. Oh wait, he's not that kind of guy.

As much as these guys make you would think they would have someone picking out what they should wear. Is it me or is their style just horrible?

Trivia: "akamai" means clever or smart or intelligent in Hawaiian.
Still used in modern Hawaiian-English slang, e.g. "She one akamai wahine."

He's supposed to be 6'3". He just looks shorter walking next to Sagan who is simply taller.

And wow, look at that guy with the suit.
Must be about 8 feet tall, and he's got three legs.

Tim is shorter than I thought.

It's you. And their style is horrible.

Tim's height is 6' 3", how exactly tall did you think he was?

rich guys can look so frumpy

He's 6'3" -- the guy next to him must be a giant.

Good to see the focus here is on really important issues...
