It's obvious that he didn't know what he was talking about when he bashed all the other 7in tablets

It's time to whip out the lawsuit.

Tim Cook isn't worth the money they are paying him

 

[scannall]

I think he has the wrong fruit in mind. It sounds more like sour grapes to me.

I recall reading an article about Steve Jobs. His managerial style was, interesting.

-If an employee was wrong according to Jobs' view, he would directly cuss out such employee and drop the F bomb repeatedly.

-He was not hesitant about shutting down projects that didn't seem to be able to succeed, and occasionally firing the entire team.

-Before the mid 2000's, one of Apple's suppliers was being a jerk and constantly late on the shipment. The supplier threaten a lawsuit if the contract was canceled, and Jobs canceled it anyways to set an example and took the lawsuit hit.

I think that is correct, unfortunately.

Apple isn't worth the money everyone is paying them

Yeah, but on the "bright" side, Apple's trollish lawsuits have multiplied.

I think Cook is the embodiment of what Apple has become; a company interested in killing competition by deploying their vast cash reserves into lawsuits rather than using the cash for tech innovation.

I used to love Apple. I still purchase some of their products, but Tim Cook is making me nervous. I think Apple will be able to squeeze a few more dollars out of people, yet eventually their reputation will be damaged. The company can not keep going in this direction for long.

Sorry but in my opinion Apple already has a bad reputation. They are known for using suppliers who employ underage workers in bad work conditions and pay them badly. And known for throwing lawsuits at anyone and everyone for the stupidest reasons just to try to crush competition and filling patents and somehow getting them for the stupidest things (and than using them for above) that shouldn't ever be granted. These are just a few things they do that annoy me business wise, so yeah it's too late they already dragged their own name in the ground.

Steve Jobs is dead now let go of his worm-ridden corpse.

Apple is now just another boring tech company. There has really been no innovation since the original iPhone, just incremental (and expected) small updates. This began happening long before Jobs screwed himself by attempting to cure his cancer by eating more legumes, and Tim Cook is carrying it forward today.

It has already been a boring highly overpricing and overhyped tech company for a long while already, iPhone, [first]iPod and [reviving tablet] iPad being the only anything actually innovative, they keep saying 'think different' when the real different thing is price and lower/old specs and hardware

Go back 10 years ago, replace Apple with Microsoft and you see the same pattern. Price to pay of being number one. The author of the book is just exploiting the trend and makes money out of it. Funny most people are complaining how expensive iPad mini is but are spending around $100 a decade ago just to install or upgrade Windows XP.

I feel bad for the people that work for you. I'm sure as hell glad I don't.

You should work at a company that adopted Enron's human resource policy:

Every year, 15% of the workforce is fired based on their performance report. That's at least a 15% turnover rate considering the fact that some employees leave or fired for other reasons.

I like how random internet anonymous take potshots at people at the top as if they know any better, and never wondered about the professionalism of criticizing ex-bosses.
