Did anyone else see the video? Tim Cook has the charm of a goat. He is SO freakin boring!
My god, someone give him a personality!

Timmy Cook is a far cry from Steve Jobs. They don’t even belong in the same post.
Yeah, you described it much better than I did... He sounds like a career workaholic that he is, no emotion. And it really shows.
He's probably not too happy as a person, since he can't lead a normal life, fact only complicated when he came out. Celebrities have it bad as is, the ones who choose not to hide from the public. You can only imagine the tabloid mess if Tim Cook was seen in restaurant with a man?
BTW, i'm not bashing him in any way, just pointing out that it's much harder in his situation. Money can't buy everything. But who knows, he might be enough of a corporate robot that he's isolated his emotions.
Funny how well this quote from Nigel Farage fits here... Tim have "all the charisma of a damp rag and the appearance of a low-grade bank clerk"
It’s the lack of content. He looks alright, but his words are a bag of pure cold nothingness.

that was funny and genious presentation by Duke, and Tim Cook is a great leader educated in a great University
Well, poll some of your work associates and friends. I'm sure there is one nerd around that took their commencement speech(es) to heart. The rest of us were trying not to choke on the forced humor lines or busy watch gazing. Commencement speakers are so pro forma. It's fun to hear the announcement who it is. But once it happens it's as memorable as a vanilla ice cream cone. It's like the teacher in all the Charlie Brown cartoons... all you hear is "blah, blah, blah." The most rememberable and honest one is one that plays on the radio:
The irony is that if he truly could never be more excited, than why does he never really sound excited? I mean, let's be honest here. Tim Cook isn't exactly overflowing with enthusiasm when he speaks, right? In spite of Steve Ballmer's insanity, at least you could never really argue that he wasn't "excited" when he spoke....
At least he doesn't sound like the old Kindle's text-to-speech in slow mode anymore (guess he used that to often) as he did from 2011 to ca. 2013. Listening to any of his "excited" speeches during these years was really hard.

That’s offensive to goats!
That fox tried hard to fight the identity forced onto him. Might be a hint.

I think these are the results one gets usually; but the commercial-actors were practiced and rehearsed to "emote clearly", so the algorithms could pick up the facial-cues more betterer.
The fox also needs more "elasticity" to his snout-area. He doesn't really "emote" very clearly.
Still pretty good for first-generation and real-time. In about 2 or 3 years, they will be like you really were a unicorn, etc.
I found mine boring. I didn't even want to go but my parents wanted me to go so I did.
It's really a pointless thing - you have your diploma, most have a job (I did) and the hard work has only just begun (life). I don't need someone else to tell me how to live my life or how I should act or any of the other BS that is said at commencement. Just give me the diploma in the mail and let me get on with it.
I found college to be a joke anyway - 50% liberal indoctrination and 25% useful stuff that is long forgotten and 25% that actually applies. The good thing is I met my wife there.
Crazy but I know what you mean.
From the neck up he's starting to look a bit like "Granny" from an ancient tv show called the Beverley Hillbillies.
Except the Granny character was pretty feisty and Tim Cook is a walking sleeping pill.
It's fun to see it juxtaposed against the previous article where Tim Cook is quoted on the overuse of technology.
OK how about the typical entitled Duke student and alum arrogance that still persists today? Little more relevant?

The arrogance entitlement that pervades throughout that school still prevails. No different today than it was 30 years ago.
