Apple COO Tim Cook as Possible Steve Jobs Replacement?

You are correct that there are many very brilliant people working for Apple. However to diminish the value of Steve Jobs is simply naive. The reason Apple exists then and now and the reason Apple is admired world-wide is fully the result of Steve Jobs doing his job better than anyone, twice.

Yes but his job the second time around was to put the company in a position that it didn't need someone like him. Like most other companies of the Tech boom who also relied on that figurehead character.

So to think Apple will be any less of company also diminishes his work.
Sure It won't be the same, but it won't be radically different either.

Depends on who they interview and who'd be up for the job. I'm sure there's plenty of adequate outsiders who could take the job. And really, it's just a job. You don't have to be superhuman to be Apple's CEO.

I totally agree. Its about the fit within the organization and how that person might set the future tone and direction.

We've seen what happens at Apple when that CEO fails.

Of the current list of Bay Area CEO's I can't think of someone who would fit. That includes Jerry Yang since I hear he is looking for a job. :p
 
but there must be someone who will be as good as Steve Jobs.
The only problem is this person gonna be found?!!
I do believe there is someone out there who could replace Steve but what would be the right strategy to follow....
