“It certainly has been a challenge for Mr. Cook, who has been second-guessed his entire tenure at the helm at Apple. He has been compared to Steve Jobs time and time again – with analysts, investors, and consumers wondering if Mr. Cook is going to be able to deliver for them the same way Mr. Jobs did,” The Raven writes. “The answer there is ‘no.’ Tim Cook is going to deliver, but in a totally different way than Mr. Jobs did. Two different CEOs for two entirely different situations.”
“Mr. Cook brought with him a different personality and a different style of management. He was reactive, passive, cool, calm, and recently, a bit cheeky.

Seems we’ve been getting this promise since the day Tim became the CEO. So far – not much beyond ordinary tweaks, upgrades, and broken promises of “great products in the pipeline.” How long before we see anything that excites us like it once did. And, please – a watch that can interpret the sweat on my arm isn’t a “great product” – I’ll surely buy one and, after about a week or so, it’ll be in the heap of all the gadgets and gadgets for gadgets in the closet. Get real, lemmings – AAPL at $120 is a pitiful excuse for where it ought to be.
Seems you have been spewing this rhetoric since day 1.
If you had as much power as you have venom for TC you could ressurect SJ.
The power of your pen (keyboard) is not very much and that is givng you a liberal amount of lattitude.
