I read an article about how Apple has shifted it's structure so it's no longer centered around design, but on the business aspect. Apparently, with Jobs, the design and product came first, then came all the other factors. Now they're moving to a more generic corporate structure. I hope Cook talks about this and assures us design is still important!
For sure looks that way. They could taking Apple to totally new heights using all the cash they have, but instead they chose to pay dividends. That says something.
