Tim Cook
New Apple CEO

Tim Cook is the CEO of Apple and serves on its Board of Directors.

Before being named CEO in August 2011, Tim was Apple's Chief Operating Officer and was responsible for all of the company’s worldwide sales and operations, including end-to-end management of Apple’s supply chain, sales activities, and service and support in all markets and countries. He also headed Apple’s Macintosh division and played a key role in the continued development of strategic reseller and supplier relationships, ensuring flexibility in response to an increasingly demanding marketplace.

Prior to joining Apple, Tim was vice president of Corporate Materials for Compaq and was responsible for procuring and managing all of Compaq’s product inventory. Previous to his work at Compaq, Tim was the chief operating officer of the Reseller Division at Intelligent Electronics.

Tim also spent 12 years with IBM, most recently as director of North American Fulfillment where he led manufacturing and distribution functions for IBM’s Personal Computer Company in North and Latin America.

Tim earned an M.B.A. from Duke University, where he was a Fuqua Scholar, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering from Auburn University.

He's queer as a football bat, won't be the visionary Jobs was, but there are plenty of creative minds around him.

I'm waiting on the iCar.

The guy was universally known to be an asshole. He dicked all of his early partners out of stock - Woz gave them millions from his personal holdings. But it's way too soon to be applauding his death.

In 2005, his remarks to Stanford graduates included this line: "Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."

To overcome cancer a person as to dedicate 100% of their energy to self and the self-healing process. Jobs didn't do that.

You know, I KNEW before I even clicked on this thread, that you would make some kind of insensitive and judgmental statement.

You never quit, it's just amazing. I have never in my whole life have seen such a stamina for HATE and ARROGANCE as I do from you. There is nothing godly about you, unless of course, your Ego is god.
