If you are referring to Antonio Salieri, he did not kill Mozart. Mozart died of rheumatic fever. However it certainly looks like the actor that played Antonio Salieri in the film Amadeus.

If I remember correctly, the movie Amadeus kind of implied it.

Then in "The Last Action Hero", the movie-buff kid deduces that a cop is corrupt because the actor is the "guy who killed" Mozart... (Since some actor often play bad guys, so you kind of know...)

Haven't seen these movies in this millenia... Memory is fuzzy...
 
My oh my. That hair looks just so American Dynasty - and I mean this in a nice way - very gay. Nothing wrong with being gay, but they do say people recruit those they see as versions of themselves.

Those haircuts are just so 1980s though - and they look absolutely AWFUL!!!
 
It looks like Riccio went to Bosley for transplantation and used his short and curlies for added volume. Risky move for sure- but I'm sure he'd agree that they pay off is well worth it when he sees the smiles he puts on everyones faces.

:D <---- See?? Another smile right here! All thanks to Riccio and Bosley!

Unfortunately the movie deviated from fact in regards to this little detail. It absolutely did imply it. you are 100% correct on that. This is a case of Hollywood taking artistic license (making **** up). Antonio Salieri was indeed a contemporary of Mozart and was one of the only 2 people present at his funeral.
I missed "The Last Action Hero" reference because I walked out of that movie about 30 minutes in and never gave it a second thought. So that's my bad. Now that I know the reference I got a chuckle out of it. Maybe I should revisit that movie.

Look it is easy to see what happened to Mansfield...

Mansfield decided to retire. Cook said ok. In the meanwhile he watches underlings in the department f-up stuff including the e-peat (environmental stuff) debacle which Mansfield graciously took the fall for. Then in other departments where people have left Tim Cook watches more screw ups, like with the Apple Store "layoffs" that had to be immediately rescinded. Finally the quality control elsewhere shows flaws with a series of bad tv commercials coming out that also have to be erased from the airwaves and the internet within days of coming out. All this has to be concerning to Cook even though the company overall still continues to print money.

Soooo.... Tim Cook goes to Mansfield and says he needs his experience to help guide future manfuactrering decisions. Bob says "sorry, I want to sit on the beach in Mexico!" Tim then offers him more money than God, lets him keep a SVP title, and offers to let him works a couple days here and there around whatever schedule he basically wants, ie. to be a high paid consultant really and Bob, goes "sounds good!"

Tim Cook has more money than God at this point and I think he just paid a retiring vet a brick ton of money to stay in a made up title roll just to consult on decisions parttime...

At last - someone who understands business!!!

...no smiley - seriously, canyonblue hit the nail on the head...
 
A good head of hair certainly gets you places at Apple! This isn't necessarily a bad thing. It shows you have a lot of confidence, flair, and a certain attitude about the world that is compatible with Apple's ethos.

Jony Ive would probably have been made CEO - if he didn't prefer the closely cropped look.
 
I couldn't be happier that Bob is staying with Apple, he has always seemed to be a standup guy. He is always an excellent speaker in all of the Apple product videos. Really excited to see what Apple has next! :D
 
I'm not sure what it is, but I get it, I can't stop chuckling every time I see it


It's like.... the same guy.... only..... 10 Years apart

Spo many comical things about the side by side..... not so much individually, but together..... awesome ;)
