Tim Cook really memorized that whole speech?

When they're your words and you know what you actually want to say, it's a lot simpler than memorizing verbatim someone else's words.
Was assuming there was one but his eye movement was good.iTeleprompter. Only 1mm thin. Magical.
Best commencement speech of the season was President Trump's address to the Coast Guard Academy. Check it out.
As the whole world seems to know except you Apple only paid around 2% overall taxes in Ireland instead of properly taxing the money where the profit gain actually happens, see also https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/31/technology/apple-tax-eu-ireland.html?_r=0 This sounds quite interesting for a company that "only wants to serve humanity". See also: http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/30/technology/apple-tax-ruling-numbers/index.html see also http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/20/apple-offshore-taxes_n_3307591.html and many, many more ... Apple seems to be very good at avoiding paying taxes. That's a fact. I'm sorry if this disturbs some fanboy feelings. It's a matter of fact, as with other multi-national companies too (e.g. Starbucks). And while many big companies are doing so, it's still not fair. IIRC there were also court hearings in the US regarding Apple taxation ...
Why would you be shaking your head? Cook can have a little humor too. It's normal. Not everything Cook does has to focus on innovation.
Done a lot of speeches - doesn't matter whose words they are when you have a speech that long. It's going to take time to get everything down.

Watching and hearing the speech, I honestly believe he exceeded what he set out to do, inspire the graduating class. It is obvious that he believes what he says.
Well done!
Not everyone is white collar
Is he trying to be the next Steve Ballmer?SMH! Another cringe moment from this Guy! Tim cook keep Focus on innovation rather than making fun of other companies.
He doesn't need to try.Is he trying to be the next Steve Ballmer?
Irrelevant statement. Apple is first and foremost a hardware manufacturing based business. Neither of the other two are. Margins are totally different for hardware, software, and services. There's no point in comparing margins between businesses so radically different.
