Apple Senior VP Eddy Cue Announced as Featured Speaker for SXSW 2018

[djbuddha]

He’ll undoubtedly wear a shirt like it’s 2009.

Bahahahahahaha. I literally died laughing when I read this one. Well played

 

[Lilok]

Well, he could be the friendliest person in the world since pictures are mean anyways, I'm also not photogenic...but wow....Apple sure has some disturbing staff photos xD

"Eddy Cue appears as a speaker"

I just imagined him in a costume dressed up as a giant HomePod...

Too many discussion about speakers recently.

‘At Apple, Cue oversees the iTunes Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay, Apple Maps, iCloud, and the iWork and iLife suites of apps.’.....


Virtually all of them being clunky bloaty piles of c**p.

 

[Peperino]

Why is he still at Apple?

Nobody worse to represent Apple.

Thanks. There goes my hope for a good night's sleep tonight.

Sadly this cannot be unseen. You'll forever be reminded of that, whenever you see Eddy's mug. Muahahahaha....

Sweet dreams

Gaze into the eyes of madness.

Why is this guy still working for the rest of us? He’s useless. His products are shabby. Apple needs to come back to its roots, and to its customers. This guy is evidence that they do not care about us.

 

[frifra]

I would have preferred HomePod as a speaker.

I haven't watched that for ages. Time to pull the DVD out of hiding and check it out again.

EC - Any questions?
From the crowd - what exactly do they pay you for at Apple?
EC - Next question

Will he dance like it's 1999?

At least he's the only executive that CAN dance! Federighi at the last U2 appearance just bobs it's really sad that a man his senior with a big belly has better moves

Cue has got soul.

"At Apple, Cue oversees the iTunes Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay, Apple Maps, iCloud, and the iWork and iLife suites of apps."

With the exception of ApplePay perhaps, all of the areas of Eddy's responsibility could use major improvement, imho

Every Apple endeavor needs major improvements.

Let's not forget Cue was the man that brought us Apple store page front, iTunes Store, major iTunes deals before Beat's acquisition,

Apple Maps (That was Forstall and it's been improved ever since). Many didn't like Maps but the seed is the reason why Apple NEEDED it's own maps app/service and that was for integration of other services.

iLife was another team that create it under his management. Unfortunately this became a pervasion ... customers being charged after Cook took over ... then separated from one another in a sense only to be recombined again except Garageband.
