Unfortunately TC would probably reply with his usual rhetoric (see other people's posts for examples of these)
Right, and that's when there should be a follow-up saying, c-mon Tim, even Steve who was deeply secretive leaked some details to keep the fan base enthusiastic about the future.
I wish these tech blogs and journalists wouldn't be so prone to rampant pandering in hopes of being "in the loop" and actually pressed a little harder regarding where Apple needs to improve.
Ummm..... Samsung, much like Apple, doesn't innovate as much as improve on others' work. FYI Macintosh didn't have the first GUI, iPod wasn't the first digital music player, iPhone wasn't even close to the first smartphone by any measure, and iPad wasn't the first tablet computer.
Both Apple and Samsung could have this quote from Jurassic Park by Dr. Ian Malcolm applies to them
"I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it, you wanna sell it."
I disagree with those saying that this interview will yield nothing new. Tim has been a lot more willing to drop hints lately in the face of increased scrutiny.
He's not going to give away the farm, but I expect there to be some decent tidbits.

- On NBC regarding TVs (12/6/2012)

He's not a person. He is Apple's CEO. That means he has certain responsibilities to make the company do well and represent the company in certain ways.
I hope Kara Swisher shuts up this time and just sit there.
Seriously, why is she still on there, she asks the stupidest questions.

Pretty swanky neighborhood. I visited a really nice cigar shop there once.
Wearing my Cal Bears hat, of course.
That is such a negative photo of the man. He could be describing one of this favorite scenes in Star Wars though.
Haha they have to wait for Apple to show them what the future is next. Then they'll mimic it but make it cheaper.
hes the worst public speaker and has the presence of a corpse. i actually had to put him on mute during the last keynote.
"we had an increeeeeeeedible ... "pause" ... YEAAAAAAAR. everythiiiiiings been really "pause" ... AMAZIIIIIIIING. We have some incredibleeeeeeeee "pause" ... PRODUUUUUCTS" ugh

We need a bingo card. I can think of a few:
Magic(al)
In our DNA
Marriage of liberal arts with high technology
Jetsons
Jetsons should win you the whole shebang. If he says Jetsons in public again . . .

I don't have anything personal against Cook, but as others have stated, he's a bit rehearsed and predictable with his comments.
And while Jobs didn't divulge any upcoming projects in the pipeline, he always had something to say--an opinion on emerging technology, the competition or a vision about computing.
Meanwhile Cook will simply toe the corporate line, and put everyone to sleep. All Things D need to get Jony Ive into the hot seat. But that's probably never gonna happen given his dislike of the spotlight.

This, sadly. I read everything Tim Cook related in TC's voice. My god, does it grate on me.
I miss the 'insanely great' times.
Surely there must be someone at Apple who can talk faster than 200wpm and without the use of pronouns.
Huh? Speak for yourself. I don't see any mention of developing an app being the reason for his question about the pro lineup. I can't imagine fragmenting my motion graphics or 3D design pipelines onto different platforms mid-project. That's absurd.
Of course Samsung is innovative. Innovation, as you know, consists of the following:
1. Bigger screen
2. Cheaper
Sammy wouldn't have much to say. Aapl hasn't released anything recently, so Samsung has had nothing to copy.
That'd require a firmware update, unless Apple's beta-testing TimOS 1.1 at D11 with a release scheduled for the WWDC.
