SJ is the biggest egomaniac in the Valley. Is it so hard to believe that the Messiah didn't want Schiller stealing his thunder by announcing updated iMacs and minis?
SJ is brilliant at what he does. Yeah, he's an oddball, he's eccentric and more bullish than Fester (Ballmer) in some ways, but he is a primo CEO. He's iCEO. He works on praise, his brilliance spurns from the millions of puckered lips pressed tight against his butt cheeks. If Schiller got the cheers for announcing great products because he was down with some menial hormone imbalance ("Dude, I survived pancreatic cancer, maybe you've heard of it?"), he'd be pissed, n'est pas?
I can hold off my credit card for a little while longer. 😉
