Whoa, that’s some giant chip on your shoulder. That can’t be healthy man.

Exactly. One only has to look at Trump for that. He is not a good person.

errrr.... what?

But these days they remove bits of their founders from university buildings invade they offend people, and they won’t dress like Pocahontas at a fancy dress party as its offensive, she’s a cartoon character...
They have never been more worst then they are now led by their tutors and deans. It’s pretty dispicable to be frank.

You know you are absolutely right, I NEVER READ THAT, I wonder if it has something to do with the fact I’m British and have lived in England all my life.....
Funny that... I think you entirely missed the point of this article and my post.
I guess you are one of those who feel proud at looking at all the loots the empire despicably plundered and stole from other countries and in the process, killed hundreds of thousands. Aah. Glory days!!!
If I were a student, I'd be infinitely more interested in hearing the likes of Elon Musk speak than grey old Tim.

Well if it wasn’t for those “leftist liberalist” idiots we’d have more flat earther, women hating, bible bashing, bomb dropping elitists instead and we know that doesn’t really help tech and science innovation. Unless you like to drop Tomahawks on half the world.
What about the uni protestors who say your above quoted amendment should be changed?
He does have good general advice in this talk. Unrelated to running Apple for which seems to garner a lot of hate in this thread!
"They are not a sports team."
That's it! Your observation is brilliant, one that never occurred to me. Your comment makes so much sense and explains a lot of behavior. I get it now. Tip-o-my cap on revealing what (for me) was hiding in plain sight.
And that, as I think you are implying, is that many customers view Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, etc. as sports enterprises, with leaders as coaches. And fans taking strong personal issue with their decisions (hiring, strategy, direction, etc), second guessing the coach (or owner) on those decisions. The analogy is so perfect.
Watched the video and loved the bit on 'accepting failures'.
They used the Cube as an example, surely they should of used the recent Mac Pro gaffe as an example

Poor, poor, Mac Mini...
They cripple it and remove upgrade-ability without even making it smaller, then they don't bother to update the damn thing. Either properly support a product or just kill it off. These half-assed updates to the Mac line just makes Apple look unprofessional, especially with the sheer amount of cash they have.
They have near limitless R&D money. The new iMacs are great, but it should have smaller bezels than my now 6.5 year old iMac.
Haha I watch and read too much news. It’s not good for your blood pressure!

Bible bashing? They seem to be doing that in the UK as it is, and sexism is still a thing.
So not much has changed. Still plenty of selfish people in this world so I would drop Tomahawks on them.

Yes, I also remember the ‘millions’ who died for freedom which is eroded away more and more these days.
And I’m pretty sure the ‘Empire’ wasn’t stealing in the 60s and 70s but I guess opinions varie.
My first comment must have gone right over your head.

I used to never miss a single interview with Steve Jobs. I probably watch / read half of Tim's. It could be that he gives access to a lot more press than Steve ever did but I think it's because Steve had very visionary futurist answers. He didn't talk about human rights, charity, politics or really much of anything outside of his worldview on technology and what was an "insanely great" idea or a "****" idea. his All things D interviews are still amazing a decade later.
Tim is a completely different CEO but I would love to hear more visionary statements from him outside of the political stuff.

Tim talks like everyone wants to be Tim Cook and can tell everyone how to become him
Tim you are not Steve, you will never be.
You killed Apple spirit, innovation and DNA.
Tim is exactly what people shouldn't become if they want to lead a tech company.

Indeed. When it has caused you to irrationally hate a fictional enemy, that's when its gone too far man. I agree though. News boils the blood. A couple of years ago my BiL said he stopped watching the news (I assume he meant BBC), he's a mega socialist too. He planted an idea and I stopped watching the news too, I unfollowed friends on FB that spoke only about the news, I turned off all notifications except BBC Breaking News. And life became relaxing again.
Nobody here cares about religion any more. Even the Muslims I know, that have a stereotype image of being overtly religious, that were devout up until teen hood have become agnostic, but still follow their religions fashion beliefs and some dietary trends.
Personally I like it. Leaving religion brings in a certain new freedom away from outdated rules. Freedom's great - isn't it?
Sexism is on its way out though. It's always going to be perpetuated by some men, and they're always going to be vocal. It's a huge topic with many examples of what brought us to this point - personally I think it's social networking spreading these great ideas.
That would include my family. It's kinda funny. My dziadek (grandfather) was a POW and forced to build railways in Italy for the Nazi's (effectively a slave). Anywho. He's an interesting chap. 90 years old this year and is very worried that people have forgotten about the war and that the Nazi's were the bad guys, and that their resurgence is troubling. I too think people are being forgetful. My other grandfather died protecting his society, his country, so that his granddaughter can speak out against companies objectifying their sex - and that his great-grandaughter will hopefully live in a world with reduced rape and sex crimes. Would be nice

How can you be the opposite to me, and fighting to remain in the EU without watching the news?
I read a lot online now actually, I don’t watch the BBC news because of their EU stance but they were good otherwise. But I watch Sky news in the morning and the lady on there is rather nice I have say....... lol...
It’s a shame I notice news channels taking sides now more then ever, so much for impartiality.
As for religion, it’s alive and kicking in the UK, it’s a Christian country founded on Christian beliefs and religion has always been a big part of it with all our Kings and Queens over the years, even though some of what the church have done is a joke and as for the peodophiles...
But it’s important if you want to have faith you should be able to, so long as it’s not extremist and leads to killing people..
And yes, it does seem to be being forgotten, it’s something that should always be remembered and mandatory to learn about, help prevent us going down that road again.. also make people appreciate the freedom they have more.
My grandad who’s long gone now was in the tank regiment in WW2 I think I can’t remember what he did but he survived. My mum can remember WW2 a bit, she lived in London at the time.
But being in a POW must of been the worst, yet he’s now 90! Strong spirit.
I think history will repeat itself one day, my mum is adamant the French and Germans will go to war over who runs the EU? I’m not sure I’d believe that, maybe one day war of a different type, political?
