Tim Cook Was Named to Hillary Clinton's List of Vice Presidential Candidates

I am curious what someone's gender and sexual orientation have to do with competence or "coolness". It sounds awfully sexist and sexual-oreintation-ist to consider this as some sort of qualification - or disqualification - when the only things that matter are competence.

I just meant it was a national milestone...we still elect largely the same demographic (rich, bald, hetero, white guys) so anything that is different from that is a good thing and should be celebrated. Its like the kid that gets D's and F's...you celebrate when he or she gets a C.

Apple's reputation might have been tarnished....I think...being viewed as corrupted company from the conservatives.

Excuse me, but there is "conservatives", there is "republicans", and there is "out of control lying bullying narcissist childish sexist pig" aka. Donald Trump. Donald Trump has made threats against Apple long time ago (and against several other tech companies).

I don't have any inside information, I see the same leaks and rumors we all do, but it would appear they still have other interesting technologies outside the iPhone in the pipeline. VR, AR, AI, machine learning, possible home assistant device, etc... Apple has recognized that smartphones have (or are near to) plateaued, they've already emphasized their push further into services as their next path to grow. Tim Cook has talked about excitement around VR and AR in interviews. Competition to Echo and Google Home has been rumored. Titan may have garnered headlines but I see them having many projects in the works that push outside of the traditional iPhone.

True. It's just all more vague than the car rumor was. But the investments are certainly being made. That's a good sign.

He's bad. Hilary's bad. I don't think either truly understands technology except for how to misuse it and that's scary. His temperament seems very unstable but I know people who have worked for her and she's no peach, either. Both are ruthless people.

Are you REALLY having that much trouble in your life that the headphone jack is upsetting you so much? Does that tiny dongle that comes with the new phone provide a huge hurdle in life? No. The jack is gone, and yet the sun still rises. Time to move on.

Don't tell people what to do.
 
I personally think Tim Cook is an idiot, he would have made the election look like even more of a joke. Bill Gates? I could see that, but Tim Cook, absolutely not, I hope he disappears from Apple and then from the public eye, I can't stand him.

Hear, hear!!!
I'm a diehard Democrat, but I would NEVER in a million years lump them all (Republicans in general) in w/ a scumbag like Trump.
That would be as racist (bigoted) & terrible as thinking all Muslims are terrorists, or all Mexicans are rapists or something.
Huh.... weird coincidence that both of my examples are actually directly from that bag of d---s. ;0P

Obama will tell you that. He regularly complains about how he can't do as much as he wants because congress blocks him.

Another limitation of the president that I forgot to mention is that after 4 years, you might have the rug yanked out from under you, and after 8 years, it'll definitely happen. People will resist working with you, because they know that no matter what you want, in just a few years someone else with completely different desires might replace you. Opponents will resist caving to whatever you want. Allies won't invest in whatever you want.

And the alternative side to this is, he does not have to worry about what others think because he will be out anyways. This is the essence of lame duck politics. Just do keep in mind that when Obama does not get his way via Congress he tends to do it anyways via executive orders/actions.

Yeah, I don't know when "Republican = Conservative" showed up, but it's a load of Mortadella.

It's like Christians who apparently have no idea what the teachings of Jesus were, and have adopted a "Hate everybody that's isn't "Christian (i.e. Old, White & Cranky)".

What a great idea!

Apple should relegate Mr. Cook to attending funerals and opening ceremonies....

Then we might actually get some innovation happening at Apple, instead of bean counting, patent trolling and ingratiating to the Board.

Hilary goes after the money and money is in the corps. She is the perfect example of corrupted corporatism and how its devouring this society. This list is a both suckin up for more money and PR move. She and people like her is the reason why Trump is where he is and if she wins a double term in 8 years we will have something x666 times worse than Trump running for president, it will sweep the election and then the country. These elections will not end well no matter what.

It's a long list, as it should be. If it's true, and I have my doubts about Wikileaks, I want to see its chain of ownership-- then I don't think it stayed there for long. This Assange character seems to be a very unreliable source.
