Do you know how much time Cook spends different places? Are you speaking from personal experience? Secondly Tim is doing a fantastic job in my opinion. Do you know how complicated it is to run a company with such a legacy as Apple? Of course he's not the same person. But if you think you can do any better, please show us. Also Tim is probably one of the most easy going multi millionaires you could imagine. Just look at pictures of his home. It's nothing extravagant, of course he cares about the company making money and being successful. But I believe he has the company's interest in mind.
Only openly gay CEO of a Fortune 500 company and a woman...there's the diversity for you
The funny thing is: there's much less reason to jailbreak today compared to Apple under Steve jobs, where many felt it was absolutely necessary.
Being that every time Apple bashes a product just before they release their own version of said product.... I'm hoping its their version of a Surface Pro. Sorry iPad Pro, I want the full capabilities of my Macbook Pro with some of the love of a touch screen and portability of an iPad. You're just not it for the majority of people.
But an updated Macbook Pro with color options like that suckfest Macbook would be nice.... as long as you don't take my ports way.
Having once worked as agent for the IRS back in the 1970's,( before seeing the error in my ways) it is tax avoidance plain and simple.
However, as a certain Supreme Court Justice once said tax avoidance is legal, tax evasion is not! Look it up.

I really like Tims view on privacy. I would buy Apple products alone just for that reason.
Obviously these were the 'bad times'. iTunes and I go way back. I'm a neat-nick about my iTunes listings. Evidently iTunes isn't really into that kind of person. I don't know...

But I'm sure there are plenty of people that will always jailbreak, because...
They have a high need to feel 'naughty'? Hmm... Like to risk it all? Hmm... I just want a phone where everything works...
And he is by following Steve's wish which was for Tim to do what he thinks is right. Steve chose Tim to run the company. Are you saying Steve was wrong?
Apple did plenty of PR pieces while Steve Jobs was at the helm. Maybe it wasn't 60 Minutes inside 1 infinite loop but so what. It was still PR for Apple. Here's some examples.
Given his only other choice for company leader, one *can* question his decisions. Right?
Look what a mess Mr Pepsi made of the company. Almost killing it...
But, as they say: Lightening doesn't strike twice? Or something like that.
Going to bed... Apple is 50 times bigger than when the Iphone as released; things have changed... A lot.
Apple is in everyone's house, you couldn't even say that even in 2010.
Tim Cook has overseen in reality Apple through its greatest growth,
since he took on a lot of the Job's work during his last years.
People seem to think the he's parachuted or something...
He's closer to Jobs than well, everyone in his latter years.
He knows more than any of us what Jobs may or may not have done.
It's even possible Jobs said to Cook to be his own man, not to try to be him at all because he believed Apple could survive without him. That's the ultimate goal of an entrepreneur after all.
When I saw this picture, all I could see were essentially identical Watches, their uniform blank, black, square faces staring unblinkingly back at me. These guys may look diverse and have individual looks, but that Watch might as well be the IBM navy blue pin stripe suit for all the individual expression they exude, when everyone at the table has them. It's like the crystal in Logan's run embedded in their hand, taking it a step further.
Forgot the /sarc? Nobody cares where Cook puts his penis, they do care about his ability to manage Apple.
iPhone 7, MacBook, iPad Air 3 ....
Correct. Apple has never been so high under Jobs, but haters gonna hate...
Yes, because you said so ... Very credible
Correct. Considering the high level labs it could be where 2017 things are being developed....
Don't you see the tone in this entire thread? Haters....
First four pages and I didn't read a single post about how intriguing is a look inside such a successful company. Just haters spitting sentences against Apple....
People claiming themselves to be Apple users that don't give a crap about what Apple is doing.
Indeed. Android and its crappy manufacturing brands are the common factor.
The woman wearing glasses gets how many $$$$millions for changing the shopping 'cart' to a shopping 'bag' on the apple web store???
I have no doubt she was behind the behind the decision to forgo the usual Black Friday sale. Very stingy...
And you clearly know Steve Jobs better than Tim Cook, right ?
Seems to be bigger .... 14" at least.
You worked for the IRS and you see this as tax avoidance?
No, its not tax avoidance. What Apple is trying to do is avoid double taxation, that is it is first taxed locally in the country where its obtain its revenue, and then second time, on the same damn income, when the local subsidiary distributes its dividends back to the US parent company. So it is matter of tax justice. Most countries have methods in place to avoid double taxation such as full exemption or a tax credit for the tax paid abroad, but not in the US. Apple is global multinational company with headquarters in California, but that does not mean the IRS has any right to tax all the income obtained by the company, because, as I said, its already paying a lot of tax in each country in which the company generates income.
Someome doesn't like something, they say "Steve wouldn't have". I guess it makes them feel their opinion carries more weight if they believe Steve would have agreed with them. What's so amusing is these people worship at the shrine of Jobs yet hate the people Jobs put in place to run the company. So Jobs was perfection with impeccable judgment except not very good at picking the team to run the company after he was gone? Really?
