To me it looks more like he is thoughtful and deliberate, not necessarily tense. He is like that in his interviews with Mossberg/Swisher as well.
Got a tip for us?

How is it opportunistic to criticize a famous public figure? I like Cook more than Jobs but I wish he could at least admit Jobs was wrong to never bring back philanthropy once the company became obscenely profitable. It's sad that he nor anyone who works at Apple can say a single bad thing about the guy, even when the information is out there and clear as day that he was not a saint.
Quite hard to find a decent copy of this in the UK but I managed to. I like Tim's style. It's casual, like he's just in your front room chatting with you. A good interview.
Stupid Colbert. I told you to ask Tim about upcoming desktop products.
The Apple of Steve was in a different stage of the mobile computing market with much less competition and Steve's contribution was partly innovation but mostly creating a culture that promoted excellence and driving out that excellence to the products. Innovation is much too complex for just one guy to do in a company the size of Apple. Even if Steve were alive today, Apple would not look much different.

"Open up a little"? You mean descend into mediocrity. Steve Jobs focused on his products, his PR was concentrated into Apple media events, he did not engage in hypocritical "charity", and he avoided politics.
Tim Cook does the exact opposite: he produces scatter-brained, buggy software (iOS), retrograde hardware (Mac Mini), useless new products (Apple Watch); he appears everywhere on the media and allows Jony Ive to do the same; he has acquiesced to pressure to reroute Apple profits to "charities", which are invariably of dubious moral standing (admittedly, Jobs succumbed to this as well with "Product red"); and he engages in ridiculous gender and race politics in which he should refrain from involving Apple.
What you are celebrating is the very identifiable downfall of Apple. You celebrate mediocritization. Why?
:facepalm: @ "Are you excited about the Apple Watch?"
LOL @ "Hey, are those Google eye glasses?"
Well the common answer would be "It's a collaborative idea".
my Australian accent is fine.
I found the interview both delightful and fascinating. Tim Cook is a remarkable human being and absolutely the right man to be leading Apple.
Giving to charity is dubious and hypocritical? What the hell is wrong with you?

Am I the only one that noticed everyone speaking at the keynote last week wore an Apple Watch? Not just Apple's people, everybody.
This is why I like Tim Cook. He wants Apple to be more Socially responsible. Jobs didn't seem to understand the importance of this issue.
When Steve talks, him and his products are inseparable it feels very natural. But when Tim talks he's more on a PR. He's more on taking advantage of current issues and promote Apple in there. He sounds like a politician but a soft one.
Am I the only one amazed by people having trouble downloading this? I realize you may have to venture outside ofnthencinfort of the normal avenues, if you live outside the U.S., but come on folks...
