As a father of three sons, I find your comments deeply disturbing. This whole "coming out" culture is as well satanic.

^^ this. If he wasn't gay yet supported people as a leader, would he be extra special because he digs chicks?
What about tomorrow when everyone gets tired of their iphone20 and their ipad20?
Tim is no Steve. Where is the goose with the golden eggs going to come from?
By the way, you are right quality and quantity have not dropped. But innovation is at 0. How log will the "lets make it thinner" keep people interested?
Dude, if one of your son's is gay then he already is. It's coded into his brain at birth as much as my being left handed was. It's not something that someone else can cause by publicly coming out. However if one of them is gay, TC being public about it might just give him the extra support he needs to keep going through what is still a difficult acceptance process.
Which will be made harder by his father rejecting him as "satanic".

I feel like Cook's almost inherited Steve Jobs limelight. All these institutions honor him like he found and evolutionized Apple instead of Steve.
Last year the mobile app with her name, brought 200 million dollars in revenue (maybe even more). Whether most of us are not fond of her, that number is really big for a mobile game. So her name influenced the mobile game market.
The way you're describing Apple is...the same as it always has been. First of all, years before Tim Cook came out, the internet was trying to dig up every detail about Steve Jobs and has battle with cancer. Secondly, Ive has always been out of control. Under Jobs' reign, he gave more operational control at Apple than anybody other than Steve Jobs himself. If Ive wanted something and one of the other guys didn't, Jobs always sided with Ive. Ive being out of control is also the reason why the earlier iPod Nanos scratched so easily and it's why we got antenna gate with the iPhone 4. Thirdly, just how is retail out of control? I was at an Apple store about a month ago and it was the best experience I've had in any retail store in a long time. I've also never heard anyone actually say anything bad about the Apple stores. As for OS X, well, again, when have people not bitched about OS X. Tiger seems to be the only time when OS X was perfect. Before Tiger, OS X was new and wasn't up to par yet. After Tiger, the Intel switch came along and screwed things up. Snow Leopard was also a widely liked OS, but still. It seems like every time we get a new OS X, somebody is always saying it isn't as good as whatever version they liked before.
There also seems to be a double standard with Tim Cook. Almost every time Apple makes a mistake or something bad happens at Apple, so many Steve Jobs loyalists point out every little thing that Tim did wrong even though the same exact mistakes happened under Steve's reign. So how is it okay for mistakes to happen when Steve Jobs was around but it's not okay for Tim Cook to make mistakes?
