Tim Cook is just a CEO, not an inventor. He is the next Gil Amelio. He is just lucky that Apple has a bigger market share now and is almost too big to fail compared to when Gil was in charge. And that Apple is focused on phones and not computers anymore.
I'm also #6 on the same leaderboard on my phone. Where it says Aroom on yours, it says Bunghole on mine.the game seems rigged... I also end up in the 6th position with 8550 points...
ok, must be a coincidence then. the game is ok, I don't really like that it slows down a bit when you hit a target though.
Apple CEO Tim Cook made a surprise appearance at Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska over the weekend, where he said he is "thrilled" that billionaire Warren Buffett is an investor in the iPhone maker.
At the start of the shareholder meeting, Cook made a cameo appearance in a humorous short film in which Buffett visits a top-secret lab at Apple to try to come up with ideas for an app and other inventions, including a time machine where Buffett tells his childhood self to buy Apple stock, according to CNN.
Cook ultimately suggests a newspaper-tossing iPhone game. Buffett was a childhood newspaper carrier who for years held newspaper-tossing contests during the annual meeting, according to the Omaha World-Herald.
As it turns out, the game is actually real.
Warren Buffett's Paper Wizard, a free download on the App Store, tasks players with flinging newspapers to collect Warren Bucks. The game gradually increases in difficulty as players make their way from Omaha to Apple's hometown of Cupertino, California, including a visit to Apple Park.While the game's developer is listed as Wildlife Designs, Inc on the App Store, the app is copyrighted, maintained, and operated by Apple according to its terms and conditions, making this the first game Apple has developed for the iPhone since Texas Hold'em back when the App Store launched in 2008.
In an interview with CNBC, Cook said Buffett has made it clear he does not invest in technology companies, meaning he "obviously views Apple as a consumer company." Cook also said Apple acquires a company every two to three weeks on average, including 20 to 25 companies in the last six months.

jobs was dying so he was not in the right frame of mind. woops too soon?
Most people who dismissed Cook are the Jobs fanboys who quickly say things like “Steve would’ve done better” etc. Of course that contradicted the fact that Jobs handpicked Cook himself, so dismissing Cook as incompetent indirectly insinuating that Jobs was as well. It’s just quite funny
Hilarious, ridiculous take on a CEO that has created $700B in shareholder value, was handpicked by your idol, and was always considered a genius at Apple.Tim Cook is just a CEO, not an inventor. He is the next Gil Amelio. He is just lucky that Apple has a bigger market share now and is almost too big to fail compared to when Gil was in charge. And that Apple is focused on phones and not computers anymore.
Apple hasn't been a "tech company" since "a bicycle for the mind".

I like how you just gloss over the #1 job of a CEO like it’s nothing. He’s done his job and has created more value than any CEO at $700B.
