Weird they've never seen an Auction go into minus digits before..
I googled trying to find something nice about Cue then saw this again....
Tim needs to let Eddy go or demote him by giving him fewer responsibilities. He's consistently been one step behind or let too many things lag.
Don't even get me started on the beats purchase... dumb, dumb, dumb. Let's not forget he also botched the AM launch badly and the ATV launch by not having great content to go with it. He's working on content now??
The App Store saw immediate improvements after Phil took over. I expect similar improvements to other parts of the business with More competent leaders.

Cringeworthy. Apple needs to review and realign their whole music and TV thinking. Just getting worse.I googled trying to find something nice about Cue then saw this again....
I suspect Jony would be interesting, but you'd have to be really ready to talk about a limited set up topics and your philosophy behind them, rather than normal small talk.
That "loser clown" is a top exec at Apple with a ridiculously successful career. Exactly what would you contribute to Apple that would be different and better? And please explain completely if you are able, assuming your ideas exist at all.
I would pay Jony to read me a bed time story, best go to sleep voice I ever heard!
I'm not a fan either. But how can you justify he be fired? Are you aware what his daily roles and responsibilies are? Are you implying someone else could lead his role better within the company? If so, who and why would that individual be better?
I don't care about his personal attributes. I'm strictly speaking of his professional career. I'm not defending Cue, But I want to know why you believe this. I think clearly you're just expressing your emotional displeasure with Cue more than you are using logic about his executive role at Apple.
Lunch? Nah.... But beers, that is a different story. Definitely the Apple Executive that would be most interesting to have a big night out with.
That was truly painful to watch.I googled trying to find something nice about Cue then saw this again....
This guy is the biggest loser on Apple's executive team and should have been fired long ago. He's the reason why you can't actually watch TV on your Apple TV. I can't believe anyone would pay anything to sit anywhere close to this individual. He must have some kind of dirt on Tim Cook in order to have remained employed this long while having had so many failures.
Yeah Craig then Phil. Everyone else, including Tim is blahhhh.
I would be surprised if all the people who put him down even knew half of what his responsibilities were/are or what he contributed to which Apple area over time.
Obviously he did keep his job for a long time, so there has to be something positive in terms of performance.
But, maybe the time has passed him by and he needs to re-invent himself to adjust to today's fast paced internet driven world. Also, some time ago some of the music studios and film studios were not as savvy as they are now.
Tougher to negotiate anything now than it used to be, hence Apple entering the content field.
I am not a celebrity worshipper, so the entire fundraising with a celebrity is not for me and I can't help wondering why an
NBA related cause needs fundraising?
There are millionaire coaches and players around who can accomplish ANYTHING they want to!
Would be interesting to see their non-profit books and balance sheets. Probably millions locked away.
I can't believe that there are actually people out there who are willing to pay an exorbitant amount of money to have lunch with someone who sucks at their job.
These charity auctions wreak of selfish aggrandizement. Why does Apple have to raise extra money for charity instead of giving directly? Guess they are too cheap. In this case their goodwill goes down in my eyes.
