“Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple Inc., could run it for another decade, assuming the retirement age at the company is not 65. He is currently 54,” Douglas A. McIntyre writes for 24/7 Wall St. “And, at Apple, there is no reason to believe the board will not prolong Cook’s job at the top if he is doing it well.”
“Cook could see the release of the iPhone 16, the iPad 12, as well as the Apple Watch 9, an iTunes store with apps that operate well beyond anything consumers and businesses can fathom, and versions of the Mac that current PC users would not recognize today,” McIntyre writes. “Cook’s largest challenge, however, is almost certainly the creation of products that are not on Apple-controlled production lines now, or even on its design and drawing boards.”
“All of this goes to say that, as has been true in the past, for Apple to be as successful in 10 years as it is now will require wild but targeted imagination,” McIntyre writes. “It has had this since Steve Jobs resurrected the company a decade ago, which means it has been done at least once before, and it holds the promise of being done again.”

Or more, guy is in great shape!
Hopefully he’s not bored by then. But it makes you wonder who is next in line
Big News! Tim Cook could, or maybe not! Next up, the weather. It could get warmer or maybe colder or something. Stay tuned!
Oh goodness gracious it just keeps getting better.
The actual headline: “Tim Cook Could Run Apple Another 10 Years”
The actual first paragraph: “If Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), could run it for another decade, assuming the retirement age at the company is not 65. He is currently 54. And, at Apple, there is no reason to believe the board will not prolong Cook’s job at the top if he is doing it well.”
The actual math: 65-54 = 11 years, or 10 if you:
a. Experience a Microsoft Excel rounding error
b. You are below moron intelligence
c. You are in a grade of school where they haven’t taught you basic math yet.
d. Make up your own reason here.
Now a jouranalist with a shred of integrity or fact finding ability would be able to actually research whether or not the retirement age at the company is indeed 65. I don’t what kind of team would need to be assembled or how many people would lose their lives trying to find out the retirement age at Apple, or which if any country would be invaded to get this vital obviously so top secret information of the retirement age at Apple. Obviously it’s probably easier, lazier, and better propaganda to just write assume.

For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet there is the /shjtt tag indicating satire, humor, joke and tall tale. Yes another work of total fiction (though some of the math was real) for the enjoyment of those from the MDN community who appreciate fun.
Thanks, Road Warrior! You saved me the trouble of pointing out that stupidity.
As I recall, Tim has to hang around for a number of years to vest the rest of that massive Apple stock grant. I doubt if he is going anywhere anytime soon. Of course, I though the same thing about Steve back in 2003.
Jay Morrison and company certainly don’t agree. Speaking of which, haven’t seen him here lately!
Nope, me thinks he has gone the way of the Zune Thang. Too bad he did have some interesting ideas in other areas. Oh well that’s what happens when you become a one topic poster.
I’m here – monitoring the discussion boards but seeing nothing much happening until this post … it’s not good news. Tim at the helm means we will not see the full potential of AAPL. Period. Wall Street doesn’t see him as a dynamic leader nor as someone who can run the world’s most valuable company. I realize I’m repeating myself but trying to do it less frequently since it seems to irritate so many in these parts – especially those who refuse to acknowledge that the only thing that makes Tim look good are the numbers – which he has almost nothing to do with.
Problem is, those very same numbers absolutely mean the company’s shares are way undervalued and Tim is why.
Well, sorry Apple stock owners and fan boys, but Tim Cook was a product of the PC/microsoft world, having worked at Compaq and IBM before apple. He is no Steve Jobs and you can see it in the programming with every new release. Wait for it….
