I think Cook is doing a good job at Apple. However, I doubt he deserves to be person of the year after only one year on the job.
The bar for being considered person of the year keeps getting lower and lower at TIME. Why don't the people there consider someone who has done something extraordinary and who's made a difference like it used to be? There are people who have stood up to authority like Bradley Manning, Julian Assange, Malala Yousafzai. How about an organization like Anonymous or Occupy? Or that guy that let kids in his house from the shooting on Friday?
Anyone remember when the person of the year was You? Seriously, EVERYONE was person of the year a few years back.
One more thing.... If Cook is even remotely considered, why didn't Jobs ever get to be person of the year at TIME?
